Just when PayPal lets me buy insurance - the PO closes the Blue customer service door

relayer

Since PayPal now lets me buy insurance online, it eliminated having to wait in line 15 minutes to mail a coin.

And when I get a notice in my PO box of a package, I just go to the customer service door and ring the bell and they hand me my package and I'm out of there.

Until an efficiency expert came in and told them the clerks aren't productive enough, so they decide to close the customer service door forcing everyone into the now longer line to pick up a package. Apparently the delivering part of the mail service does not generate revenue.

If they would fix the problems my way with 5 simple steps they could keep the customer service door open

1) Tell “chatty lady” to shut up and quit talking for 10 minutes with each customer.
2) Retire “old fat lady” who walks bent over at a snails pace when going in the back to pick up a package.
3) Retire “handicap lady” (who can only take 2 packages not to exceed 5 lbs)
4) Hire Spanish speakers who can explain to the illegal aliens sending stuff back to Mexico that you actually have to seal the box and put an address on it before they can mail it (for those who actually bring stuff in a box). Currently only “handicap lady” speaks Spanish, but she can’t take the heavy boxes.
5) Move “gomer Joe” to the back room to just sort mail, since most transactions are too complex for him.

Hey, I haven't had a chance to do those in a while.

Can I get an Amen ????






If my Jackazz Postman would actually bring my packages to my door instead of being lazy and just filling out the "Pink slip" and throwing the notice in my mailbox (community mailbox at the end of the street) without ever coming to my door, going to the #@$#@$#@ post office would never be an issue!!

My mailman apparently thinks he's the social director of my neighborhood. He forces me to meet my neighbors because I ALWAYS GET THEIR MAIL!!!

Whew....I feel better now.

Down with the P.O. If they hired anyone who knew anything about business/economics, they would have that placed dialed in a few months. But that wouldn't be a good gov decsion now would it. lol.

I was just on one of K6AZ's threads regarding the PO. In your situation, I'm not suprised at the 19th Century inefficency of the USPS. Read my message on the thread titled "I'm really PO'ed at the PO (More postal employees making up their own rules)". The next time they want a postage increase, the American public needs to raise one, major league stink!

Yeah... well I get mail about every other day for a house that's a few blocks away... and not even on my street (or a street that intersects my street)! The only thing we have in common is the house number

How a bout when a family of 4 is at the main desk filling out passport applications for a half an hour when all I want to do is pickup my package that I was left a little pink slip telling me they could not leave it and I would have to come and pick it up.

Sounds like my post office! But, you forgot about the part that they can't find your package and it takes several people in the back to finally find it on the floor just below your PO box, and now the waiting line at the counter is now backed up to the door!

I have no problems with my branch of the Postal Service!

I'm lucky here. I deal with the same gal each morning. She's efficient, knowledgeable and pleasant. The only time I run in to any problems is when she's on vacation. I've also had the same carrier at my shop for the 15 years I've been here.

My MailWoman is nice, and she always will walk a package up to the door Only time I get a pink slip is when nobody is home... I've gotten to know most of my postal clerks, especially one nice older black woman And, I generally don't have any problems with any of them, though there's a new clerk that's still learning her way around... but, most of them are nice, good clerks... but still, it's the main branch for the county, so it tends to get pretty busy... so, the only time I actually go there, is if I have to insure the package... otherwise, I pay the 10 cent surcharge, and just drop it off at the UPS Store, which is 10 minutes closer to me...

Have seen this scenerio SO many times while waiting in line:

THEY leave a slip in the mailbox saying they are holding a package for you. You make a special trip the next day, wait in line and they can't find your package. They ask all the other employees, look everywhere including where it's supposed to be and where it shouldn't be, then ask you to come back tomorrow and wait in line again.

They send you a request to stop in and then look at you like you have three heads when you actually want to followup and pick up the package!

No wonder people go postal.
