No wonder the USPS is going broke

[Luke]

Mike,

I have a question for you:

I just moved away from a post office where the employees are friendly, and there is always at least two people at registers. I moved right next to a post office I have always tried to avoid. There are always huge lines, the staff are standoffish, and often make up their own rules about things, seemingly just to be difficult.

I often will drive a few extra minutes to go to my old post office, but sometimes I go to the close one because I think it will save time, and I always regret it.

Is there any way to voice my concerns with this post office in a way that will be heard? The supervisor of this branch is the main problem in my opinion and it would be no use trying to talk to or leave a message for him.

Thanks.

Luke, what you describe is exactly what I've also found in the Seattle area. I avoided the lower Queen Anne post office for the reasons you describe. No issues whatsoever with any of the Tacoma post offices.

USPS has consistently delivered for me, thousands of packages over many years with minimal glitches. The employees who work in my town are extremely friendly and helpful. I am thankful for USPS.

I have always considered the people on my route "my extended family". And I let them know that. As for employee problems, if the Postmaster can't help you then go to the area manager. No manager likes to see problems go out of their office. As for the pre fund retirement fund, I agree what stupidity, but then I don't make the rules. Those who do have their golden parachute ready for when the crap hits the fan.

Geez guys, my original post was a light-hearted tongue-in cheek jab at a silly situation. You took that and turned it into the Great Postal Debate of 2015. I never figured to elicit such deep seeded, impressive, expressive responses, both Pro and Con. Hot Damn!

By the way...it looks like it was a cyber transcontinental trip. It was scanned into my local Post Office less than two days after the Washington State scan,,,

This whole thread is bogus. Poulsbo, WA is a suburb of Daytona Beach, FL.

Too late Mike, you lost control a long while back
