The USPS would be more successful if most of its employees were not so overly secure in their jobs that customers are made to feel that the USPS is doing them a tremendous favour by operating at all.
USPS workers frequently behave with total indifference to the fact that a business must please its customers.
Agreed 100 percent. They are usually soooo rude. Most of the time I dread even going to the post office.
And don't forget to leave your mail delivery person a gift card at Christmas – if you forget, they seem to throw your packages around a bit more the next year. I've found eBay boxes just slung up in my driveway.
Agree @JI-F
Among other problems that plague the USPS, having to prepay their future employees retirement/health benefits doesn't help. I know of no other business that has to do this; perhaps the House Government Affair should look into the ridiculous law Congress passed requiring this.
This is to bobcat wherever you are: Todays Quirky News: NYCs Valentines Day Sewage Plant tour returns due to "overwhelming demand." Nothing says "love" like the smell of all the farts in Brooklyn!
