Some Fed Ex Bullshit

So my company needed to send out a major mailing of 700 press kits but our mailroom did not have enough Fed Ex envelopes.

Fine. So we called Fed Ex and they said they could get supplies to us in 1-2 days and they couldn't even guarantee 2 days.

At first, I just started thinking of a Plan B when it occurred to me during my lunch break

"Fed Ex can't get me a package from their own facility overnight but if I wanted to send some anthrax from here to California by 10:30 AM, not a problem"

Needless to say, I was livid and I injected my anger into the mailroom employees and they called them back asking why they couldn't Fed Ex us some Fed Ex supplies.

Policy.

Assholes.

They ended up letting us go across the street (!) and pick some up from one of the Fed Ex spots.
