A few days later I saw a young girl, maybe 10 or 11, standing at the box with her arm in it up to her armpit, trying to get mail out of it. I haven't put anything in that box since.

There was a sympathy card in which I had foolishly placed a $20 bill. I called the postmaster. He was totally uninterested, and wouldn't even take a report. Of course, the card was never received, and I ended up sending another. That one arrived safely. Now we never mail anything from our mailbox,chlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476371332873753350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-36818023796136369962013-11-13T22:39:48.205-06:002013-11-13T22:39:48.205-06:00Peruby: I think it is the attitude that is being d...Peruby: I think it is the attitude that is being displayed by the post office employees that irritates me the most. They are simply not interested in doing anything for the customers.

I hear my sister complaining about her co-workers all the time - how inept they are and they don't follow protocol.<br /><br />I may run this one by her to see if there is a form that can be filled out and what the procedure is. <br /><br />She was a school teacher and is a stickler for correct protocol and making things right.<br /><br />Did I mention that her life at the Post office is a living hell? I don't know how she puts up with all the lazy people there.Perubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948233191244821909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-13557389033575091742013-11-12T22:29:10.862-06:002013-11-12T22:29:10.862-06:00Lady Jewels Diva: You haven't seen my neighbor...Lady Jewels Diva: You haven't seen my neighbors. I am confident that if I went door-to-door, asking if anyone got my package by mistake, everyone in the complex would deny any knowledge of it. I wouldn't count on any of my "neighbors" being, er, honest.<br /><br />Meryl: I would love to deny any responsibility for a lot of things, wouldn't you? <br /><br />Olga: I think the saying refers to postal employees, but I don't know what kind of stress they are under. I think "going postal" should mean USPS customers.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309266986583326824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-85877393661806685022013-11-12T17:17:26.940-06:002013-11-12T17:17:26.940-06:00Good grief.

Must be nice, though, to work at a place where you don't have to worry about making mistakes because there will be no consequence. Seems like that would take a lot of pressure off so way is there an expression about "going postal?'Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-59978316821017329592013-11-12T16:04:49.395-06:002013-11-12T16:04:49.395-06:00It is a shame the retailer has to take the loss be...It is a shame the retailer has to take the loss because USPS screwed up and won't take responsibility.
