I thought this was going to be great. I ordered an ebook printed. The online service worked seamlessly. I drove the two blocks to the pickup location and entered the store in Burbank, CA.

That is where the good stuff came to an end.

There were at least three counter people there when I entered the line. Ten minutes later, after having asked if I could just pick up my order and being told that I had to wait, the man behind me said that he was in a hurry. Then, Peter, the team leader, took time away from the person he was currently helping and all of the rest of us who were in line, and helped the white male who had been more aggressive. I am, by the way, a short, white, dumpy older woman.

I strongly feel discriminated against. By the time he (Peter)got to me, I was very upset. When I asked him why he took the white male before me, he said "He was in a hurry.". Well, I was in a hurry too, and I requested a refund of my money. He told me that, since it was an online order, he could not give me the refund.

I will NEVER use any Fedex services again and I am considering finding a lawyer. Nobody has the right to treat me that way. My money is just as good as that young white man's money.

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds

This sounds similar....

AUTHOR: L Boog - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, July 11, 2008

I'm a former employee of a FedEx "Kinko's", that left on my own terms. (I worked for a Kinko's in North Carolina) I was in disagreement with the treatment of the customers. Being helpful, and hands on was what made me enjoy my job but I was looked down on for not charging 90/hr for simple things.

In reference to this complaint, all I can say is that it sounds similar to experiences that I've witnessed at Kinko's. During training, we're "trained" to attend to customers that appear to be "antsy" or argumentative. So, I believe that you were ignored as you stated.

One more thing, revenue from the online orders goes directly to Kinko's so to speak. It doesn't go to the store that you pick up your order from. So, technically and by policy we don't issue refunds for online orders. But, the employee should have given you the phone numbers and information needed to help you get your refund.

The manager called me and spoke with me personally. She refunded my money and assured me that in future nothing like this will happen at her store again.
