Stupid postal employees

[sroz]

Btw, just wondering. Does this qualify as a rant?

Complain all you want, as high as the Post Master General. You will get nothing but a laurel & hardy handshake thank you.
We dealt with a similiar issue years ago in littleton. Blatant delivery issues, carrier taking 3 hr lunch breaks (she lived 5 houses down) mail delivered when "she" felt like delivering it.
Lost / undelivered bills, next day documents etc. etc. etc. Bottom line, she was a "protected" federal employee who at the worst would receive a verbal reprimand, nothing more. Once they were secure in the job, like any state or federal job, the removal process took forever. We had one guy (state) who they gave notice to in 07 and finally terminated in 09.

Maybe leave a polite note on the box. That might help. At least after that they can't say they didn't know it was an issue.
Or heck, leave a nasty, profanity filled letter and maybe that'll get some attention.

I have a story from a postal employee in another state, about a lady doing similar stuff to what Kazoo mentioned. Only it was more blatant, like delivering to the end of the street, then throwing the rest into the drain. She could do whatever she liked and knew it. She was finally let go when she shit into one of those hard plastic sorting boxes and left it on her boss' desk. This is all hersay, but good luck Ray!

Good luck. You don't want to be identified as the person that fingered the perp. They might go all "Postal" on you.
I finally found out why our postal service sucked so very very very bad. Turns out we're on a "training route". It seems you might also be on one of those. Sorry, friend!
I finally left a note in our box, with the mis-directed mail, for the millionth time, it said..."Is it the letters or the numbers that confuse you so?" "I'll be contacting the postmaster to see if maybe they can help determine your particular challenge."
I have a lot of comfort in knowing that I almost certainly out-gun the carrier.

Oh, and finally, if you took the job, and you cash the check for the job, do the dang job. If you suck at this job, what makes you think you deserve something better? You look at the address, you put it into the box with the corresponding address. SERIOUSLY??? I WISH my job was that brainless. Actually, that's not true. I'd probably go postal if that was the case.

When they have a donation drive, I always leave out a box of 5.56mm for the carrier.

I spent years complaining about getting my neighbor's mail... and not just next door... from down the street and other random places. Complained every day... did no good.

You are right it is not rocket science... it is a MATCHING GAME. That is all it is.

I live in a condo in a neighborhood of several hundred units...my front porch became the drop spot for any package that USPS, UPS, and FEDEX couldn't find the actual address. That went on for 1 summer...then stopped as quickly as it started.

On the other hand my USPS carrier cannot be bothered to knock or ring the doorbell when they are required to get a signature. I will be sitting on the couch 5 feet from the door and they will leave a sorry we missed you card on the door.

When I delivered pizzas, I was expected to deliver them to the correct address, and with the box closed.
