Of having postal workers any more when robots could do a better job, without all the back-sassing when you have to call their attention to incidents of their horrible performance and conduct. The USPS is considered a “quasi-Federal” entity and unionization has made them like pedantic children that can’t be corrected or held accountable. No wonder “going postal” has long since entered the American lexicon as someone who is a mentally ill psycho mass killer. I have compiled a long list of misconduct issues for the past 15 years in my small town post office that are unacceptable, specifically matters of egregiously mishandling my mail.
I put a mail hold on before I went on my most recent trip to Texas and after I handed the female postal worker my mail hold card I had filled out, she proceeded to read out loud all my personal details (address, dates starting and ending for the mail hold, etc.) while there were several customers in line behind me, mostly males. I leaned in to her and said this matter requires DISCRETION. She grinned smugly, nodded her head and patronizingly responded “uh huh” several times. I’m not going to elaborate what graphic images were playing in my head, provoked by this obnoxious breach of my privacy and how she thought it was amusing I would be upset.
I may as well have passed out my house keys and alarm code to everyone present.
