I know this is another "we hate the P.O" thread and it's understandable that people are peeved in this thread. I am, too. But the above is a HUGE generalization and untruth. There are a lot of us at the P.O that care. More than that don't, I would wager.
Unfortunately, those with bad experiences are louder and more vocal about it than those with good experiences. (As is the case with many things in life, I know.)
Hi! I just wanted to say that I have friends that work for the p/o in the town I used to live in. He used to get a 12 pack of beer for x-mas, because he was great at what he did. He always said hi to my kids and knew them by name. His name was Jim. I do not want to catergorize all postal workers, and this was not to be an I hate the p/o thread, I was bawling my eyes out, and I knew that there would be people on here that would make me feel better because they understand that they were not "just eggs". That is the look I got when I talked to the postmaster here in Douglas. I had to drive down there and show her that my box was NOT leaking egg everywhere. There was sooo much bubblewrap and newspaper it was impossible. She said now that I see the box, I realize it, but since you had this happen, I thought the yellow substance on all the mail here was from your box, and it was not. I had to prove it to her to believe me and then swear on my life that the mail lady indeed did throw the box. Of course she wasn't gonna tell her boss that. And like someone said earlier, I would appreciate an apology at the very least, but to be called a liar after what she did, that made matters alot worse. I did not start this thread to go after anyone. I just wanted some people to talk to who would actually understand. Thanks, Chrissie
