when I order something on-line like I've been doing a lot lately, there is no choice for what carrier you want them to use. They almost always have it already arranged with UPS, FedEx or USPS.

I would love to see USPS become a shipping option on all domestic items.

Posting a public message AS a Fedex employee is at the discretion of the employer.

I'm white, and I've encountered some racists, but I've personally never met anyone who was THAT paranoid!

Fedex should've banned that customer, not fired their drivers!

I cannot believe they took action against the drivers.
Had the races been switched, White drivers could have claimed they feared for their lives and blown the guy away.

I hope Fedex catches shit for this.

Then the office fires them for being black I guess. How low does a black guy need to do a, “yessa master...okay boss..master today?

context here that I’m missing? I see a white guy standing there with what appears to be a recording device and an indignant black guy telling him off. No way of telling what happened.
