We had a couple housekeeping uniforms that super-sewing-CW was adjusting for another GM. Boss Man was going to deliver them to Other GM at an upcoming meeting, but she suddenly decided that no, she needs them this weekend, and could we ship them?
Boss Man, being a smart ass (and not exactly loving Other GM either) went to UPS, where the following conversation ensued.
BM: I need this shipped to [city] and I'd like it to take as long as possible. Can you make it take a week?
UPS: Well...the slowest we have is ground, and with that it will be there next day.
BM: Nothing slower? Can't we route it through Philadelphia or something? Send it on a ship?
UPS: Um...no, sorry. It goes out on a truck to [big city] today.
BM: Would FedEx be slower?
How do you answer that? Do you say that the competition is faster, and therefore better than you, or do you say the competition is slower, and lose this delivery?
UPS: I don't think they could help you any more than we could.
Good save.
BM: Well, okay then.
Only my boss would complain about a delivery service not being slow enough. To the UPS employee, I'm sorry my boss is such a smartass and that you had to deal with him. (Probably wasn't too sucky, but he can take his smartassness to the point of being annoying).
