What will/is/has it cost to be fair?
At what price the ineptitude? Black Mail woman delivered mail today, three letters addressed to the house next to mine??!! WTH you can't read numbers?
I get that anyone can make a mistake sometimes but it is constantly occurring. Went to PO to speak to Post Master (person of color) about this, and mentioned this isn't once or twice but routinely happening. No resolution.
Even at the PO Box I get the wrong mail routinely.
Go to the DMV all Black, all the county and state government offices all black except perhaps a few bosses.
What does it cost to have teachers who can't speak English correctly? What price is America paying for "making things fair"?
Wonder how Coco Gauff would feel if she had to front a white woman two sets to be fair and all?
How would LeBron James feel about spotting me 75 points because I'm white and can't jump?

Ah the jobs one can't or very difficult of get fired from. At least they can show up to get the government check. Kind a step up from staying home and collecting a government check.
As for the DMV around me you need to speak beanerese. Ebonix before the brothas skipped Seaside (I wanna say late '90s?) and got replaced by the Taco Truck crowed.
Also when you mentioned "Black Mail" I thought you were getting Blackmail sent to the wrong address
. Don't know hat flavor of USPO/UPS/FedEx come to my joint but I had several mis-delivered mail or packages. It's bad when the postal person does this since it's their "beat". I also don't like them just leaving "goodies" at the door when I'm not in. Porch Pirate is a thing these days.0 -
We live just outside a small village ( they lost town status many years ago ) we get the neighbors mail often in the mail box and even in our PO box
fed ex and UPS have also delivered wrong packages to us and ours to neighbors once I drove 10 miles UPS gave us a package and thew other family ours
if I did not have there package to track down the name and address I would have not known they had mine . the fellow at the other house was in the same mode guessing what the heck ( my package was a gun case ) but did not know we had there package
once UPS kept arguing my package was delivered , I found the driver left it at the wrong address by there records when the gal on the phone read off where he left it they ask me to follow up
I had left notes for several days on the guys house all un answered ( I know he was coming and going I had one on every door and his garage door ) I told UPS to get it straightened out I did not get along with the "neighbor " and no good would come of him maybe me in a face to face with him after 3 days of leaving notes a few days later my package made it to me
so I think it happens way more than is known by all delivery no matter who th edelivery is made by0 -
I know a man working at the post office whose son works under him. He tried to fire his own son because the guy would not show up or was late and when he did show up refused to do his job. Both he and his son still work there. He could not fire him. 0 -
What does the USPS have in common with Payless shoes?
100,000 pairs of loafers in every color.
The senior lady, 80 y/o+ if front of me at the PO says:
"What a bunch of miserable pricks"
The 18 people on line all LOL0 -

Back in the days of "Civil Service" there was a sort of feeling of being a bit better than most(well deserved since getting the highest score on the test pretty well assured getting hired). No longer is this the case. Getting hired because you're a "minority" , a Veteran, or "other" poorly defined capabilities is the norm. I had senior citizens, women, and Veterans working for me. Couldn't have fired one of them for anything less than a Felony.
The Veteran was a career Navy guy and knew every loophole in the book. That seems to be the way the Navy works, first you have to learn all the loopholes and then you work those until you retire.
I'll admit that USPS has fallen apart over the last 10 years since I retired. I'm glad I left when I did.
If the PM didn't make an effort to help you, it's most likely that PM is part of the problem. The "of color" part is a clue. Most don't know this but even in the 70's Blacks literally controlled an entire section of the Chicago Post Office and a white Supervisor didn't dare go there w/o an armed white guard.
My opinion of "color" is being proven correct on a daily basis.0 -
our small town PO and UPS works great occassionally get a package by Fedex ...right on the nose ...OK...lucky us....town 1100, county about 4500...did get one item delivered wrong by UPS an talked to the gal i know got it but she denied it...Botch...bad thing about that now that ebarf owns paypay (paykrap) is they will immediately side for the seller irregardless...that why i told paykrap to pizz off and cleared out..oh and i am the only surname in the county so it should be a no brainer 0 -
BUT ...forgot to add we had a navy veteran apply for postmaster and he got it because the veteran gets extra points... from high school he was called Catfish ...all mouth and no brains ...he got to be postmaster of a town smaller than ours till he retired....social security, millitary, and PM retirement funding .... 0 -
It's not "them", it's us....
You see most of "us" were raised by the greatest generation ever. WE were the last real people that made sense. We had mothers and fathers, not some other person raising us.
We failed or passed in school. Our tests won't "adjusted" to make things equal.
We were taught how to excel in life , not how to work the system.
We were told to extend our hand shake when meeting a new person, not to text or twit them.
We are the old dinosaurs walking among the new zombies.
Welcome to my world, now come walk with me into extinction.0 -

USPS. The USPS system has problems. Most of the people that work there are good but it doesn't take many to mess everything up. The ones that mess every thing up are all represented by labor, management, all races, all sexes and age. Add to that, some people that send mail and receive mail are a problem also.
At one time there was a complaint system. If there was a chronic problem it eventually was solved.0 -
I am good friends with my mailman, he is here everyday about the same time and with bs with you if you are at the box, on his days off sometimes there have been up to 3 different truck running up the road each with half dozen or so of the houses on their trucks, and come about 3 hours later in day. only about 20-25 houses in area. regular guy said it had to do with time, each one who got back early would get so many more to deliver to fill his full day, instead of just putting one person on the route to do it. another way to spend a dollar to save a dime............. 0
