Yesterday I stopped at the closest UPS Store (store 5659 on Ann and Decatur) to me to send a small package to West Virginia. I asked the attendant to send it the cheapest way and explained the amount of time it took to get it delivered was not important.
She stated the ground delivery was $21.15 to West Virginia. I asked how much it was priority mail, she stated it would be $14.67.
Instead of quoting me the lowest tariff, she quoted me the highest. I almost took the package to the US Mail, but agreed to pay the Priority Shipping.
While paying, I noticed there a "Tip Box" on the counter next to the register. The next time I have to ship a package, I will travel a few extra miles and visit my friends at the UPS Store on West Ann Road (store 2938) , where a "thank you" is tip enough for them...
