"I just encountered" a fully loaded U.S.mail truck...windows wide open no driver in sight.
After ascertaining there was no driver in the back of the vehicle, I waited ten mintes while calling the P,O,...to no avail.
The driver as it turns out.. was in the local grocery store shopping.
On his return to the vehicle,...I asked him about leaving the mail accessible and unattended. He shrugged it off.
His nonchalance was a tad premature.. as is have photos of his unattended U,S,P,S, vehicle.
Local law enforcement says they don't have jurisdiction.
Well,.....at least he won't be delivering any vulnerable mail on Sunday.
,Anybody here know the extent of his liability legally speaking?
Thank you.
M.M.
Ah... a dumbass pot smoking hippie who snagged a gubmit job 33.5 years ago. I know that guy.
I presume this dumbass was a letter carrier. He sure the hell can NOT go shopping and leave the vehicle open like that.
BTW, if you do a followup complaint be sure to include the store address. They used to have a no no called “deviating from his route”.
I copy!
Thank you.
hes rather ubiquitous isnt he
Had to look that word up. Pick another word! ;)
Postal Inspectors with copies to your Congress-critters sounds like the route to go.
Thanks!.
Big Deal. There are much more important things to do - what a busy body.
You did mention it and my response is the same - big deal. Worry about something that is important and stop being a nosy busy body. What a drama queen.
Of course there are much more important things going on. Does that mean we should ignore everything else? All this lazy, irresponsible guy had to do what simply close and lock the doors before going shopping. It's basic common sense. Would have taken 15 secs tops.
I worked one Christmas season for the U.S. Post Office. I wanted a princess telephone (light-up dial) and baseball tickets. I got both as my parents allowed me to keep all my earnings.
I DID learn that I never, ever wanted to make the U.S. Post Office my life long career: boring, boring, boring dirty work. The pay just wasn't worth it.
Most of the people I worked withat the Post Office seemed pretty miserable to me.
If one cant find a way to make any job at least tolerable...its a shame.
We were meant to enjoy what ere doing..regardless of the work it takes to find something about it TO enjoy.
I enjoyed being a janitor .. a great deal more than I did working at the P.O. simply due to the “community” of the people I worked with and around at either job.
I felt it my duty.
Sincerely,
M.M.
I'm glad you found work that you enjoyed.
I insisted on enjoying whatever i was doing to some degree..
That's a good thing.
