US Post Offices have been Infiltrated

It’s absolutely awful! New Orleans and the surrounding area have to be the worst. I couldn’t get the fill in mail lady to take stamped letters the other day. She said she couldn’t take that kind of mail. We sometimes ship out products with USPS. Asking them to scan the parcels is like asking for a kidney. So now we print out a manifest and they still won’t scan that. I have contacted the station supervisor which changes weekly and the postmaster general here in Nola. For some reason, no one can get the carriers to do their job. It’s terrible. The women carriers are the worst. Lazy as hell!

Mine in middle SC took a nose dive around 2022.

Bank issued checks through online banking if you insist on still using checks.

You can also get checks that dont wash but they are expensive so the pen idea is a good one. We def avoid checks now as much as possible but some vendors still insist.

Positive pay is a good service BUT its very expensive as well.

I'm starting to see the Federal government is a jobs program for African American women.

And really most government in general. If you need to interact with the administrative side of government, there will be a nice AA lady with a degree from a prestigious HBC that will be your gateway to the assistance you need.

I still paid some bills with a mailed check bc I didn’t trust online shite to not get hacked!

Plus I take a small enjoyment from writing out a check and dropping in the mailbox old school. I’m a weird guy.

I said DEI and you go as straight to that, sounds like you have a particular bias bud!

Two yrs ago, we had 3 checks cashed in person at local banks that we did not write. Fortunately, we were expecting a large deposit so we were checking the account daily at the time. We were physically in our bank filing the fraud alert when the 3rd check was cashed. Crazy thing is the 3 checks were numbered perfectly in sync with where we were in our checkbook and those actual numbered checks were still in our checkbook.

Police were involved, the bank refunded our funds but when the police asked the bank for the videos of who cashed the checks, the bank stated they would not be sharing the videos without a court order. Makes me think it was an inside job and they were protecting their reputation.

I never would’ve thought about USPS worker “washing” checks. We really only write one check a month that we put in the mail so the odds aren’t great that’s what happened.
