A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—we’ve just received an unusual package. It’s addressed simply to “The Most Patient Person,” and it weighs exactly zero pounds.' Everyone in the store fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter. A regular from down the street piped up, ‘I bet that was you, Mr. Always-Late!’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Maybe so, but at least I’m patient enough to wait for my own package.’

2. At The UPS Store one day, an elderly customer exclaimed into the intercom: ‘I just saw a pigeon wearing a FedEx hat!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and burst out laughing, saying he’d seen a pigeon in a USPS cap earlier that morning. A regular who was waiting for his package chimed in: ‘Maybe they’re part of some secret courier service!’ Everyone had a good laugh, and soon enough, the old man left with a smile on his face.

3. At The UPS Store one night, a frustrated employee posted a sign on the door: 'Package not delivered? Blame your neighbor!' Inside, another customer overheard and asked with a smile: ‘Who’s next door?’ The employee grinned back: ‘I don’t know, but I bet he’ll be surprised when his package finally arrives!’

4. At The UPS Store one afternoon, a regular patiently waited in line while humming an old tune. Suddenly, he noticed that every package being scanned had its barcode singing back at him. Curious, our man asked the clerk if his packages were possessed. With a straight face, she replied, ‘No, sir, they’re just talking to you because your phone’s on vibrate.’ The regular sheepishly checked his pocket and indeed found himself humming along to his own ringtone. Everyone laughed, including the packages.
