The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw something peculiar—a small robot sorting packages with eerie precision. As he watched, the little robot paused for a moment, looked up with its LED eyes, then whirred over to greet him. Turned out it was just a new employee playing around after hours—trying to impress his friends by showing them his ‘secret’ workplace. Everyone got a good laugh out of it the next day.

2. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets in The UPS Store after hours? One day, a regular asked aloud: ‘I wonder if packages can talk?’ And then… nothing happened. Suddenly, an old delivery driver appeared from behind the counter and whispered, ‘They do talk—just not in English.’ Everyone burst out laughing as he added, ‘And they never miss their shift!’

3. At closing time, an envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’ appeared on the counter. No one claimed it. Over the next few days, more envelopes started appearing—each with a different message inside. One read, ‘Please forward my package to someone who actually needs help today.’ Another said, ‘I hope you had a great day!’ Finally, on the fifth day, an envelope simply contained a note: “Thanks for being such good neighbors.” The manager smiled and posted the last note in the window: 'Welcome to The UPS Store—where every day is a mystery!'

4. After hours, when the last customer left and the staff turned off the lights, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside The UPS Store's empty cubicles. As it grew louder, someone suggested that maybe it was just an old printer waking up from hibernation. But then, out of one cubicle emerged a tiny robot wearing a FedEx hat, apologizing for the inconvenience and offering everyone free coffee. Turns out, it was part of a secret UPS training program gone wrong.
