I have been a customer at this UPS Store location for more than 4 years and have never experienced issues until recently with a newer employee named Eric.
A couple of days ago, I visited the store and noticed the line extended out the door toward McDonald’s. There were only two employees working. I asked if the second employee could assist due to the long wait, but Eric stated they could not help. Despite having only three customers ahead of me, I waited over 30 minutes.
Today, around 11:00 AM, I returned to print documents but was charged over $20 without receiving my documents. I politely asked for clarification regarding the charges. A female employee was assisting me, but Eric intervened. His tone came across as rude and disrespectful, and after I expressed concern about how he was speaking to me, the interaction became increasingly uncomfortable.
Since I urgently needed my documents and still had no explanation regarding the charges, I scanned my card again to try printing, resulting in another charge. At that point, approximately $40 had been charged to my account without a clear explanation.
When I approached Eric again for clarification, he refused to help, told me not to speak to him, and asked me to leave the store. I felt his behavior toward me became unnecessarily confrontational, possibly because I had previously raised concerns about the excessive wait times during my earlier visit.
I contacted UPS customer service regarding this matter and was informed someone would follow up. I have never experienced this type of treatment and hope management reviews the situation, including the unexplained charges and level of professionalism shown toward customers.
I also hope appropriate steps are taken to address this matter so that I can feel comfortable and safe returning to this location. Given my experience, I would appreciate consideration of whether reassignment or other corrective measures involving this employee may be appropriate to help restore a respectful environment for customers.
