[Satva1100]

yesterday i had a package that needed to be signed. but i live where the mailbox is across the street and i have a long driveway. so instead of driving up my driveway she just left the notice in the mailbox telling me to go to the post office to pick it up. is it really that much of a damn inconvience! its their job. does this happen to anyone else

 

[KillahBee]

city/government workers being lazy?

blasphemous!!!

 

[stilleto]

the mail people around here have to drive up to every house- everyone has long driveways and the road is a serious uphill climb. sometimes they get lazy, but mostly they have to haul ass to deliver our stuff.

My mail slut does the same shit. Or she'll stuff shit into my security mailbox that is too big for the slot. If i don't leave the mail hanging out of the security mailbox she won't take it. Fucking bitch. I've tried calling to make a complaint....Good luck with that shit. I mail everything off at work.

Everyone take notes: even one really nice gesture like this will get you YEARS of great service.

I take care of everyone who provides me services at Christmas, and in return they go above and beyond for me. Those people include:

-the garbage men
-the mailman
-my hairdresser
-my massage therapist


You would also be wise to take care of the staff at your doctor's office, and your kids' pediatrician's staff too. It's amazing how they can magically find an opening right away for someone who has a goody basket (sweets, cheeses, fruits, ect) delivered close to the holidays, but the doctor is 'fully booked' when most patients call hoping to get in right away.

The hardcore socialists among you will bristle at these suggestions, but in the real world greasing people's palms with cash or presents will get you better service 99 percent of the time.

Very,very true.

I've come to the conclusion that most mail carriers are mildly retarded or spend a great deal of their time at work stoned on something.

See, I live in a twin on the corner. The houses are numbered thusly: I am 500, the house attached to me is 500A, the pair of twins next to them are numbered 500B and 500C. Then the pattern repeats with 502.

I routinely get mail from three houses down, I also frequently have mail delivered on Sundays. I've even gotten mail from ACROSS the street (505). At least YOUR shit was in the right g'damed mailbox!

See, what kills me, I'VE LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE FOR 20 YEARS!!! This fucking dumb SOB (and it's been the same mailman forever) can't be bothered to learn our damned names. So I've taken to having all my mail addressed: 500 Main Street, Corner at State and Main. The SHIT still ends up in a neighbors box. So I must assume that my mail carrier, and the person who fills his box, is not only incapable of remembering who is on his route, but also cannot read clearly labeled material.

Needless to say, I have changed as much of my mail over to paperless as possible and refrain from using "snail mail" unless absolutely necessary.

YEAH! That's a good idea. One of those Peter North dildo's

FedEx is actually a client of mine, so I get a TON of deliveries each week. So I got to know him a bit (I work from home). Young kid, nice guy.

If it's one thing I've learned in my line of work - take care of the everyday workers, the real gate keepers. Delivery guys, janitors, security guards (especially security guards), loading dock employees, etc. These are the folks that you want/need on your side.

i spent 6 weeks as a USPS letter carrier. i transferred back to my current employer just as fast as i could!

the volume of mail these guys/gals are expected to deliver EVERY DAY is staggering to the mind.

try the job and you won't be so quick to criticize them.

Yes, but when one only receives approximately 10 pieces of mail per week (not counting the coupon clipper and shit like that) and the mail is CLEARLY addressed as going to the house on the corner (and believe me, I do not have a common surname) I'm sorry, I lack sympathy. And when I'm getting the credit card statements from the Jehovah's Witnesses who ARE ACROSS THE STREET and their mail is addressed to "Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah's Witnesses" come on, that's just a severe case of not giving a fuck. It's not like they're underpaid. That's tatamount to those United Airline's baggage handlers who think guitars should be treated like soccer balls.

Whatever happened to taking some degree of pride in a job well done?

Postal workers are lazy as fuck and stupid too....I seen them plenty of refuse to lean out of their truck to place the mail into the mailbox because they didn't park close enough to it and they would have to actually get out and walk 5 feet.

these bitches make good money too for being a fuckin delivery boy.
