Stupid postal employees

[cstone]

The only real guaranteed way for a postal employee to get fired is if they get caught stealing, and I mean caught red handed. The postal inspectors have lots of job security and could spend their entire career just chasing theft from mail cases. The local post master may or may not take an interest in your complaint. We both have our mail coming out of the same office south of 120th on Washington.

If it happens once or twice a month, it is likely a sub. If it happens more often, it is quite possible it is your regular carrier. Surprisingly, most long term carriers are competent and are a great source of information on what is going on in their neighborhoods.

If you get your mail on time more than 70% of the time, you are beating the odds for most government services. While the postal service is only quasi-government, their employees actually have better conditions than most federal employees and their union is a force to be reckoned with inside the postal service.

Consider a loop video camera focused on your mail box for a week or two. Review it to see if there is anything else going on, like kids messing with your mailbox.

Lucky for you guys to have a main post office at 120th and WA . I live in same city, and I gotta drive all the way to Brighton Bridge street for mine.
BTW, that specific post office is one of the ONLY post office which I never lost mail sending it. I ship a lot of stuff.
Frederick office- lost twice in 4yrs
Mead office- lost once in 4yrs
Longmont office- lost none
Firestone hub-none
120th & WA- none in 6yrs
Westminster @ 104th and Federal- Once around 2005 or 2006. (i think i know who did it)
