Have gotten to know my postal carrier well, here at my gated complex. She's repeatedly said that the postal union runs the USPO, that the facility manager has little to no operational power. She also said that 2 years ago the USPO had spent $100,000 at each main office in major cities across the country. That money was for installing security cameras....in the employees parking lots. Employee theft was that wide spread & serious.

Look, I get that I am in Canada but it literally bounced around Florida for 4-5 days, then shows up in Indianapolis only to be sent to Greensboro, NC then back to Miami and on to Ft Worth then North. Took me 3 weeks to get a fricking t-shirt. Government efficiency at its finest.

I mailed two packages from Metairie to Evansville Indiana. Both exact same weight, size, contents, going to same address. They were both sent at the exact same time. One arrived three days later, the other arrived two weeks later.
Make it make sense.

There is nothing to understand, it is a Government service, therefore efficiency, pride, customer service are not targets the employees have to care about.

The only person I know have worked in the postal system is one of the slowest, laziest, excuse making, dope smoking, person I know. Not saying they are a bad person, just not a person you want to depend on.
