Now I should have known better.
I had to ship out the first of the eBay packages today. So I checked the UPS web site (since I needed to have it boxed up, and there's no FedEx/Kinkos anywhere near here). It told me that the local store's hours were 8:30-7:00. So I came home from work, picked up the stuff to get boxed up, and headed over to the UPS Store. Got there around 6:30 or so.
Found it dark, locked up tighter than Fort Knox. Apparently, they actually close at 6.
I should have learned these lessons in the past. I mean, I keep getting sucked in by their convenient proximity to where I live, and it seems to temporarily make me forget how much their completely abysmal customer service ethic will annoy me after I'm sucked in.
Argh.
