Yet More Trenchant Observations
We had two packages delivered this morning. One was from UPS, the other from FedEx. The two delivery guys happened to arrive at the same time and it was odd to see them together, wearing their respective uniforms, carrying their respective packages.
The UPS uniform is hands-down classier. It seems more formal somehow, yet still active and tough. In my experience, UPS guys are friendly and upbeat while FedEx guys seem harried and distracted. The UPS guys are rushing around, too, but they seem to take it in stride.
As for the trucks, I'd again have to give the advantage to UPS. The enormous purple-and-green FedEx ground logo seems like it's trying too hard. The UPS truck's design is subtle, confident, classic.
"See you next time," the chipper UPS guy called out. The FedEx guy, clearly beaten, managed only a half-hearted wave.
