Gripe Of The Day

UPS does it again!!!

I am getting more and more disgusted with UPS. Of all things to smash...didja have to put an extra "grind" on my coffee? Seriously.

I mean, what do they do with these packages? Is it that hard to process cardboard boxes without crushing them? Whoever works in the sorting facilities, I hope they're pleased with themselves. Well done, jackasses. You smashed yet another one of the boxes sent to me. Am I on a list somewhere now? WTF?

"Oh, here's another one for that 'Goldie' chick..." says the UPS warehouse worker, as he prepares for a Kevin Butler 56-yard-field-goal-kick with my Gevalia shipment....

Unbelievable.

UPS sucks.
