Want to buy a roll of stamps? Wait times at the USPS counter are rivalled only by the DMV. And like the DMV, they’re only open 9-5, meaning they don’t serve the 9 out of 10 employed Americans who would have to take time off work to get there before they close. Except Saturday—they’re open two hours on Saturday morning, but unless you’re first in line you’ll spend almost the entire time waiting while the pokey employee plays 20 questions with the customer in front of you who’s trying to mail an RC car to their nephew in Jakarta. Just when you think it’s your turn, the curmudgeon behind the counter will disappear in the back for minutes at a time, confident that no amount of customer dissatisfaction will affect his pay or retirement.
Meanwhile, the grocer and even the gas station in town will promptly sell stamps, bubble mailers, and print custom labels with quick service and generous operating hours - impossible for a government run office, but table stakes for a private retailer.
Privatize it!
Lets also factor in that they're spending more, but delivering way less mail. Its a joke.
We don't need it to be privatized, we just need all the management to be replaced and same with MOST the employees which are actually not fit to work at any real job and that's why the government hires them.
I talked with my local postmaster about this. They do care about misdelivered mail and will correct an employee/contractor quickly if you let them know.
The problem is that the Post Office is now heavily relying on temp workers to fill delivery positions, but they do not pay enough to keep the positions filled, so there’s a lot of churn.
Your feedback won’t have much effect until your route is staffed consistently by the same worker.
