Dude got owned :Q

My mom works for a dentist. He's open from Monday to Thursday and closed on Friday. When he is closed, he puts his sign up on the front door from the inside (it's a glass door) that says "We're closed" and it has the office hours and all that jazz. Well, the regular UPS guy I guess READS the notice and just holds the package and delivers it on Monday like he should do (I think they have to attempt delivery even if they know that the business is closed on that day, but I could be wrong).

Well, last month, the regular UPS driver was off on vacation, so they had another driver fill in for his route. UPS was delivering some medical supplies to the office. Of course, the sign was up as usual. Office is closed. There were no cars in the parking lot as no one was there. Instead of taking the package back and attempting to redeliver on Monday, the driver FORGED my mom's boss's signature and left the package OUTSIDE the door on the ground (mind you, the dentist office is located on one of the busiest streets in town). It was left there all weekend. And as you might have guessed, someone most likely snatched it up.

My mom's boss gets to work on Monday and checks the tracking for his package and sees that "he" signed for it on Friday afternoon and calls UPS. They start a trace and and investigation. Find out today from UPS that they talked to the driver and he admitted to leaving the package and forging his name. Driver = FIRED.

Cliffs

1) Mom's boss orders some medical supplies
2) UPS driver leaves supplies outside the office even though office says it's closed and forges signature
3) UPS launches investigation
4) Driver = OWNED

I heard those guys get paid pretty well and get good benefits too:Q
 

Brown got PWNED. Seriously, what's so hard about taking a package back to the depot? Why would he go to all the work of FORGING the signature? It's not like they get paid PER delivery...

DENTIST.
Needles possibly, and other probably expensive sh!t, not some computer parts of regular off the internet stuff most likely.

Do you think hospital deliveries should just be left for any old bum to pick up?

Pretty dumb error for a driver to make. I know all our district drivers guard their routes closly and HATE it when anyone else takes over for them. They get to know everyone on the route and don't want anyone else screwing it up for them. and yes, they get paid VERY well for their work though the standards we hold them to are pretty high

Yes, but think of the fringe benefits! Spiffy brown outfit with shorts! Delivering "packages" to lonely housewives!

Novocaine, antibiotics, surgical instruments, etc etc could be most anything.

Driver was pretty dumb to not just take the package back, but forging the sig is beyond stupid.

Can't give any specifics, but I don't know many other jobs where you can live comfortably in San Fran with just a HS degree. Thats why the waiting lists for being a driver are so long, and why many stay drivers until retirement

I'm not sure I understand your story and statement. Could you please clarify: Was the package lost, stolen or not? Did the dentist find the package [before investigation] or did he not? Was he checking the tracking just out of suspicion because his package was left there without his consent? Please clarify.

The UPS driver position is one of the "plum" positions in UPS. They make a lot more money compared to those working in the distribution centers. The last time I checked, they made about $21/hr plus benefits. This was back in 1998, however, and has most likely risen.
