My local postmaster has gone way beyond proving the Peter Principle to be true. Just in speaking with him I wonder, why/how did he ever get promoted to postmaster? Answer: union.
My local rural service was so bad I fought back the only way I know how: I got a box at the UPS store in town. Yes, it costs $12/month but I now get all my mail and packages promptly. And, amazingly, my Netflix movies now arrive.
IMHO, they need to drop Saturday delivery completely and cut weekdays back to every other day.
And to the idiots on a hunger strike: May you suffer long and hard. I suggest you spend your idle time trying to help USPS management figure a way out of this mess.
My Fedex and UPS drivers all take the time to put packages on our front porch (an extra 10 steps maybe?).
Two days ago our USPS carrier left a package in our driveway in a day-long the driving rain. It was a kids game I’d ordered for Christmas, was completely soaked and ruined.
Dear Upchuck,
“union” has nothing to do with the selection of your postmaster, that’s management/patronage/politics, but don’t let the facts get in the way of a good rant,
freegards,
