Stolen Mail.

After trying to get the Postal Inspectors to do something, I had to turn to the Media to get them to do something!
When I called them after I found the first, "Huge pile", I had to call them back on the second day to tell them that we were going to have 25 plus mile per hour winds coming up and that the Mail was going to be blown all over the Desert. They sent an Inspector out that I was really impressed with. He drove a Dodge Challenger out to the spot following me in my Jeep! ( He was an Ex Border Patrol Agent) We picked up the important Mail leaving the junk Mail.
Then I found another dump almost a month later and called it in, after 4 days a different Agent called me back and asked if we could pick it up "Next week"! I told him that again, we were about to have high winds and that it would be blown all over the Desert. He said he would call me in the morning. I went back out at 7am and waited till about 11am and no call! He told me that I could collect the Mail and take it to my local Post Office and drop it off.That's when I called the Media to get a fire lit under they're *, and it worked! Lots of apologizes and promises to reprimand him and calls from the higher ups trying to kiss my *.
What your Mail Boxes because they don't care!
Through Rain and Sleet and dark of night, the Mail will be delivered! I guess if it's to hot, that don't count!

Most of the mail delivery folks are good people, but I have seen one worthless SOB of a hundred. Complained about him, but he had high seniority and was protected by the union and later retired.
Seen some bad attitudes at working the counter.
Yep. Exactly.
One new guy informed me that my packages would no longer be brought to my house since he felt it was past the limit. I said, "There goes your Christmas cookies."
I then advised I had measured it and my house WAS within the limit and offered to give him a copy of my survey.
He was our delivery guy for only 2 weeks.
Another guy, apparently drove a SUV, left notices in mail boxes on this route that all boxes must be raised several inches or mail would be witheld.
Being an old retired gobmint employee I looked up the regulation.
Turns out our mail boxes were mounted at the low end of the min/max allowed.
To be a good citizen I decided to raise my mailbox to the middle of the min/max height - which BTW was not the height "suggested" by the mail carrier.
Consquently, several other nearby residents
Readjusted the heights of their mailboxes after they read their warning notices and saw what I had done.
NOW ALL THE MAIL BOXES ARE AT VARYING HEIGHTS RATHER THAN IN AN EVEN ROW! Hahahaha.
To me they dropped the ball bigly on this one.
They will bring your mail to you at no charge to you.
If you have a PO box in town, you have to pay rent on it so you can drive in to get it yourself.
:shock:
We just always used the pen when sorting letter mail, unless an AP stamp was handy.
:roll: :roll:
Instead of money spent enforcing the so called rule invest money in equipment and training to ensure the chance to break the rule never occurs...
The bankrupt unionized postal service is a junk mail machine and the quality of their service has declined steadily my entire life...
Growing up we had the same postman on our route for over 20 years and things ran like a Swiss watch - mail was delivered on time and correct and free from defect - even incorrectly addressed mail because we had a trained competent professional who did an outstanding job...
People often have him some money or a gift each Christmas.
After he retired it devolved into anarchy
And them the postal union leadership suggested taking away all veterans preferences in favor of minority preferences and things really devolved.

Why do we even need Postal Inspectors if they want us to do they're work for them! :evil:
This week I happened to talk to a carrier in a local gun store & he told me they are now on the street over seven hours a day. We were walking the street for about four hours & casing, driving & breaks took the other four hours. They are now handling about twice as many deliveries & can't catch errors while casing. How could even the regular possibly know the people on their route? To get full retirement they have to go to age 62. Can you imagine carrying that heavy satchel for seven hours a day in all kinds of weather until you were 62? I barely made it to 57.
Now we have to walk the mail into the PO because of rats.
Another home town turned to s*** by rats.
This one makes 3
