    A google image search of what modern dunkards look like seems accurate to me. They basically look like Amish people that have embraced technology

    Man I'm angry right now. I ordered a shitload of dehydrated food to be delivered to my parent's house to bring to Argentina to go hiking (they don't do dehydrated food down there).

    This has been my past hour-plus:
    • Find out half of my packages weren't delivered. Check UPS tracking number, they attempted to deliver it last Wednesday, but unsuccessful. One single attempt
    • Tracking information just says "delivery attempt unsuccessful"
    • Go through UPS' automated system, they say "it can be retrieved at the UPS Business Center." Does not provide any address. No "business center" is within an hour drive
    • Their automated system "cannot connect me to a representative," after numerous attempts
    • Call the local UPS stores in the area. "We're just franchises, but here's the corporate number."
    • Call corporate number, never get connected to a person. Bullshit robot inefficient automated systems. But direct me to go online and create a UPS My Choice account, because if they can't help they're sure as fuck going to harvest my data
    • Create account, file claim
    • "You will be notified within 15 days"
    Like, I'll drive to wherever this package is and get it. But I can't figure out where TF it is. Cannot speak to a person.

    Do not do anything but press zero any time the system prompts you for anything. Don't speak, just enters 00000000000000000 (as many as you'd like really) You are going to do that four times, total effort is about 90 seconds. It will then transfer you to an agent.

    I cannot vouch for the agent you will get. If you feel like you are speaking with a moron, hang up and repeat.

    Source: I have built/build out call centers. I just verified that this sequence works.

    Thanks dude. Actually found this before reading your post:
    That actually worked, I was connected to someone within 5 minutes.

    But, because I had opened a claim (as the robots instructed me to do, which was zero help), it opened an investigation and they were in the process of returning the package to the sender and refunding my money. Customer service directed me to claims. I told claims I actually don't want a claim, I just want to know where my package is and I can go get it. Claims then connected me to investigations, who instructed me "your package is at a UPS Customer Center, but we do not know which customer center." WTF. They transfer me to another investigator, who again informed me that because a claim is opened, I need to talk to a supervisor. I wait for 15 minutes, same guy comes back and says no supervisor is available. After 1 hour 45 minutes of phone time, I admittedly lose my cool. I don't want a claim, I don't want an investigation, I don't want a refund, please just tell me where my package is and I'll come get it.

    Wait another 15 minutes. They then tell me that "within one hour" they will text me the location of the customer center where my package is located.

    I am not hopeful.

    I'm watching Sex Education s4e06 and it shows 4 dudes carrying a casket on their shoulders.

    Who else here has been a pallbearer and had to help carry the head end on a 6 person crew?

    That shit is heavy as fuck and one time we had to walk like 15 yards from the hearse to the grave site.

    I was thinking the whole way, what if I dropped it, and was kinda struggling to hang on.

    I had to help carry my grandmothers from the hearse to her gravesite. She wasn’t a big lady yet it was heavy as fuck. We had to go down a wet embankment and I prayed to the old gods and the new the entire time that I didn’t slip or we’d be having another viewing ceremony.
