Walking into a post office and figuring out how to ship a package is ridiculously complicated and for no reason.
Not to mention the level of rudness by counter workers actually surpasses that of McDonald’s employees.
It’s one fiefdom that needs to be razed and the ground it was built on salted.
should have been eliminated when ‘Going Postal’ became a thing.................
Because they are government employees, and they feel safe and entitled.
It’s just like the DMV. It because such a popular culture joke and trope that DMV workers are slow, rude, and unhelpful that a lot of states reformed their motor vehicle divisions.
Don’t get me wrong. There are probably a LOT of postal workers who are very nice people. I’ve known a few.
But when you have zero fear for your job, your mentality changes over time. There’s a lot of “why should I go the extra mile” and “that’s not my job”
On the other hand, the people in the Newport WA post office which serves my 83822 zip code have always been pleasant and easy to work with.
Yes, and that is why Postal USA, FedEx stores, Mail Boxes Etc, Staples and others have been so successful.
I have not visited the post office in a long time.
I have been to two of the previously mentioned places in the last couple weeks.
People that run internet based shipping businesses use all of the above to ship parcels. None use the USPS.
