Impatient chump goes postal over late mail...

6:30 pm is nuttin’ in Chicago. In our Chicago zipcode last spring and summer, it was not uncommon to get our mail at 10:00 or later at night. It was not the carriers’ fault. They USPS had deliberately delayed new hiring and increased the workload. This particular zip code post office also was known as the worst in Chicago for surliness at the counter and messed up administration. The second worst is not far away.

After a lot of complaints, the USPS pledged to jumpstart hiring. And things did improve. Our mail is almost always delivered by 6:30 pm these days!

You know what it means when the flag at the Post Office is at half-mast?


They're hiring.
