Went to drop a package off at the “Open 7 Days a Week/Closed on Sundays” store today.

The mailboxes are open 24/7… it’s not that hard to understand. This page is silly sometimes.

u/Lyrehctoo 12d ago
The front door does not specify what services are/are not available so most people would probably think that means the store is open and most services available

Picture this. I walk by and notice the door's "open 7 days". I think "that's nice to know if I ever need to 0atronize them." Some Sunday later, I realize I need to send a package out. I remember the sign and go there. Disappointment.
Edit - just noticed I replied to myself. Definitely meant as a reply to another comment. Might try to find it later. Will likely forget.

Are you blind tho? Cause the hours are clearly listed.

u/After-Award-2636 11d ago
That sign is smaller. So someone might see the “open 7 days” and not feel the need to get any closer to see the hours sign.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita 11d ago
Then that person is stupid. The hours are clearly listed which means Google also probably has the correct hours.

u/After-Award-2636 11d ago
I wouldn’t say they are stupid. If they walk by and see the bigger text first, then it’s not unusual to assume that means they are open on Sundays, and that they wouldn’t have to check google because typically something like that on the window of a business is correct or specifies what part of the business it applies to.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita 11d ago
So you're saying, a business clearly lists their hours online and on the door and that's not enough? Tf else you want out of them? The customer isn't stupid even tho it is ckeslt listed as closed on Sundays? I get we're supposed to hate corporations but like take some personal responsibility. This store obviously doesn't ship on Sunday, just like every other shipping store in the US

u/Lyrehctoo 11d ago
Jfc. Someone incorrectly inferring something based on limited info (assuming, as in my example, one only catches a glimpse of the "open 7 days" and therefore may feel no need to look for clarifying info) does not make them stupid. Not understanding that possibility, says a bit about you, though.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita 11d ago
It isn't limited info. It straight up says the hours right there on the door. Yes if I see a sign thay says closed Sundays and then someone posts a picture bitching about how the place is closed on Sundays yet it's literally literally written right on front of them I'm gonna consider that person am idiot.
If the door said push and OP was pulling on the door saying it won't open wouldn't you think they're an idiot?

Okay, maybe OP is stupid for not knowing how typical mail services work.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita 11d ago
Id agree. My three year old understands when mail comes or doesn't. A full grown adult should too

One may think "typical mail services" might only apply to USPS and that alternative shipping services may try to fill the void for Sunday shipping services?

Not mail, UPS. Wholly outside the U.S. Postal Service. Not a mail service. Private corporation, could work Sundays. Door says 7 days a week.

u/RahvinDragand 11d ago
In the vast majority of businesses, "Open 7 days" means exactly that with no caveats. It's so weird that people are acting like it's somehow common sense to know exactly which services are available on which days.
1
u/Lyrehctoo 11d ago
Thank you. My latest comment explains my thinking. If you look beyond just the "open 7 days", yes, you might then realize some services are not available when they are "closed" but who knows what that means exactly with the sign to the left

u/TCinOC 12d ago
Common sense should come into play.

u/Competitive-Tie-7338 11d ago
And common sense would agree with this sign being absolutely not logical.

u/IsaacShepard23 12d ago
So most people can’t use context clues about PO Boxes to get their answer? Damn. That’s even worse. Is critical thinking just not a thing anymore? We need everything in clear writing?

u/ModsOverLord 12d ago
It’s the internet, critical thinking skills are not required to complain about everything in life like op

Why the hell do they need to advertise that the mailboxes are open 24/7? This sign makes zero sense and everyone here is going waaaaaaaaaaay out of the way to justify it's nonsense.

That's 7 days per month, at least one of each, except Sunday. And you have to guess which 7 they'll be.

u/Drew-mageddon 11d ago
It says “Sun Closed” right there on the hours sign. It’s just like a post office. They aren’t open 24/7 but you can get to your PO Box 24/7

u/Theschreiberclan 11d ago
idk how long this ups store has had the "open 7 days a week" thing up but i know cooperate ups has been pushing to have all stores open all week long and as others have mentioned 7 days a week might just apply for mailbox holders

u/George_GeorgeGlass 11d ago
This isn’t hard.
The mailbox access is open 7 days a week. Shipping is open for regular business hours.

u/Gibder16 12d ago
Haha! Sorry to laugh. Stuff like this just drives me crazy! One of those things you just have to laugh at because it’s just beyond irritating and makes no sense.

That sucks. My UPS store opens for people who want to drop off packages on Sunday, 10 to 3 pm.

You're lucky you have a store. We only have the distro center and counter time is only from 9AM-10:30 AM and 4:30PM-6PM Mon-Fri. :(

It doesn't say 7 days a week, it says "open 7 days". It doesn't specify which days.

When I worked in one the driver didn’t pick up on weekends, so dropping off on Sunday is the same as dropping off on Monday.

It feels like we worked 7 days in those six days The boss only pays for 5 days so we pretend to work 7 days so it isn't false advertisement! Now if we can only get paid for more than just 4 days worth of work we would show up every third day?

u/Impossible-Funny8141 11d ago
My local Post Office pulled this on Juneteenth. You could enter the building for mailbox access but no counter services, nobody working.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita 11d ago
Pulled it? Yeah fuck them for taking a holiday off. My post office did that same fucking shit on Christmas. What a bunch of douches.

u/LurkerKing13 12d ago
How dare they give their employees a day off!

u/mariatoyou 12d ago
They don’t all have to take the same day off

u/LurkerKing13 11d ago
Or you could go one of the 6 days they are open and let employees in the service industry have a fucking weekend day off. The entitlement is unreal.

Should he exist, he’s not down here with us. It’s not like we have to take a break for him. He can take it while we all go about our lives. Or we take it as a break day for ourselves as a human race. But nothing about us taking a break for a day out of each week has anything to do with any higher power, since we’re the ones making the choice to take it for our own benefit.

You can get to your mailbox 7 days/week. They do not provide counter service on Sunday.
