I think UPS does so well b/c they are (I'm assuming this is still
true) so picky about who they hire. I worked for them for a summer
many years ago and to get just that summer job I had to go through
four interviews! They seemed to be looking for good, hard workers and
were willing to pay well for that skillset.
We love our UPS man. He's the only person outside our friends and
family who can get in our gate w/o the dogs going into (pseudo)attack
mode. They let him in w/o a peep. :)
