I dont mind the timeliness of the service. I don't do business through the PO so I'm never waiting for something important or anything.
What does piss me off is the driver pulls up on the strip of land between my sidewalk and the street and kills my grass, fucking asshole.
I'm too afraid to say anything, he may go postal on me.

Love my mail lady! I am one of those people that get shit from Amazon all the time. Probably 250 packages a year. She drives down my long ass driveway and drops it over my gate. I have her number and text her if I am getting something important and it is raining. It helps that she is attractive as well....
She gets $100 at Christmas time.
Going into the post office is a whole different story.... Nothing but blacks or old white ladies and they all have piss poor attitudes!

declining
seemingly miss a couple of days of delivery a month, when none of us get mail, delivery person must be in a hurry
certified mail receipts found in my mail box when I'm sitting in my office 20 feet away, delivery person being lazy
mail placed in wrong mail boxes
many times mail received for people not in our office, including checks (I try to get those to my neighbors if possible, just in case they're waiting on it)
like every other job, some people excel and others don't, it's easy to see the difference

I must be spoiled because some of these stories are hard to believe. Not saying anyone is lying, but it's crazy that there is such disparity from one city or state to the next. We have the best fire dept, police, trash throwers around. You kind of get used to excellence and take it for granted. Fire comes immediately, non judgmental and sympathetic. If youre breaking the law the cops tell you to cut the shit or else. But the give you a chance to stop. Trash guys take those big days after a clean out without blinking. They put the barrels back standing up neat without any stray trash on your sidewalk . My letter carrier gets the mail here no matter what. Wrong address, no problem. Important stuff ? Hell let me know. If I tell him I'm waiting on something.... he'll get it to me early if need be.
Joe Batters...How is it going buddy? Been retired since 2/8/13......Don't miss it at all....Do still see many of the guys at the monthly NALC meeting...Recently got my 30 year pin from branch....
When I started in August 1986 it was a decent job.....You cased your mail and hit the street. No scan points, no bar codes no street supervision (unless they got a complaint called in).....If you were in shape enough to "run" the route you could easily have a 2 hour lunch (or longer).....Then came DPS.....tons of bad mail in every tray ( mss mail), mark ups , fte's and so on.....Then came FSS with the flats...Same nonsense as letter mail......If the labels on single sheet flats were not glued on right there would be 20 flats stuck to it not a single one yours
When I finally hung up my satchel the job deteriorated so much...Now with the CCA's coming and going after a few months it is hard to build a staff..Years ago PTFs got hired knowing that within a reasonable amount of time you would get a career appointment..CCAs have no such thing to look forward to....
My mail delivery is so so at best.....The carrier is a great guy but with the mail getting to the carriers later and later it is hard to have a consistant delivery

I get my mail as late as 6:00pm most days( or nights I should say) but it is not the carrier's fault. He works for the most mismanaged organization I've ever been affiliated with. The rank and file are for the most part dependable employees, however, they are saddled with bureaucratic regulations and an incompetent managerial staff.
Heard "ruby begonias"on laugh-in the other night.
Boston Garden fall 95 tickets had just arrived, on a special trip by the letter carrier that morning since he knew what they were. Talk about changing the mood from glad to sadness as news that Jerry was gone came 10 minutes later. Bob opened with Bombs Away that night at Hampton beach
The Post Office I use is the worst - I go every day - typically a war zone - they are so slow and they play dumb when people ask a question - they go out of their way not to help - theyve seen me every day for years - they know me - if I don't have my PO key they wont get my mail and will say they don't remember me
