I guess you can't fix stupid.

I read the post as 2 feet of tape, not 2 inches, no? I can see where a small business might not charge for the occasional use of such supplies to help out a customer, but for a company like UPS? I'm not so sure how it's hard to believe that those little expenditures would add up exponentially!
Besides that, it's absolutely ludicrous to think that ANY business, regardless of size, would give ANYTHING away. I'm pretty sure that nobody goes in to business in order to LOSE money.
I don't care what kind of car you drive, OP..if you feel so entitled, just maybe you're part of the problem.
