    Looks like it's landing now.




    and I see no problems in robbie's comments. What the hell would his store know about this?

    I get why it's funny. Sure, there is a much more serious side to this.

    But if you can't laugh at the horrendous state of our local media (e.g. "let's call the local UPS store!" is an absurd journalistic choice, by any measure) then we're going to just cry ourselves to death at the sadness of it.

    "Hello, UPS Store here. You quit it, we ship it."
    "What can you tell us about the planes being diverted and the bombs? Care to comment?"
    "We have a nice 2 for 1 sale on packing tape today."

    I owned a UPS Store in a Houston suburb for over 5 years until last summer. UPS buying the franchise and changing our names from Mail Boxes Etc to The UPS Store made us unpaid employees of UPS. Having to deal with UPS issues unrelated to our business was an annoyance.

    Hope the bomb threat turns out to be nothing.
