Postal Locations

the responsibility lies with the federal government completely eliminating the postal service as a government funded service making them be forced to operate as a private company. the biggest problem with that, in my opinion, is that the post office has to pay everything including its daily operations costs out of their “profits,” despite having requirements that just aren’t there for private businesses. every american is deserved their mail regardless of how remote their property might be a - something UPS/fedex and other shipping companies have a choice for whether hard to access, or very very remote addresses to be included in their routes and most of the time they do make that choice. making the USPS the only delivery service for a percentage of americans. 1 hour out of the way to arrive to an address means another hour on the way back, the labor for the driver, and the maintenance for the car (hopefully the cars are maintained by a government funded repair facility that only works on their delivery trucks but i wouldn’t be surprised it that wasn’t the case). it gets worse tho, the USPS also isn’t allowed to establish their own prices for their services meaning even if a specific office isn’t profitable, they can’t make any in house adjustments to their prices in order to turn their profits around to stop losing money. it’s just another symptom of private citizens (aka billionaire like jeff bezos and bill gates - the most well known examples) having significantly more power than the federal government as a result of the tactical and precise law making that has been in an effort for the rich to not only stay rich but to get richer on the backs of everyone else. these workers shouldn’t ever be rude or condescending or treat the customers with anything but compassion and respect - however, there’s not enough money to give them the customer service training or the oversight of a manger enough time or money to uphold a better standard of service. if everyone stopped voting for less cut taxes, voted to killed the filibuster, and most importantly to give the post office the funding and support of the federal government while also making it illegal for other shopping companies to operate in the USA eliminating competition snd giving billions of dollars to the USPS to completely redesign the infrastructure that would allow for packages and letters to have the ease and efficiency thats truly. possible in a world with a thriving delivery system backed by the feds. instead of being a coward, if you want better service demand it respectfully. if i’m spoken to with condescension or apathy whenever i’m a customer seeking to give the business my hard earned money i simply won’t accept anything but the respect i deserve. however to deserve respect, respect must also be provided so the only way to go about communicating feelings of disgust from someone’s lack of respect is to do it from a place of compassion and knowing that as long as you tried, it is okay to walk away but walking away without saying anything isn’t sending a message lol. how they supposed to know your walked away because you thought their behavior was appalling… for all they know, you walked away because you just read a text that demanded your emergent attention…. i mean, stand up for yourself. you’re only hurting your city when you choose not to supoort your local post office. hurts your neighbors, hurts the workers, hurts the businesses who ship with the post office, but most of all it hurts the addresses where the USPS is the only delivery service that’ll serve them.

just heard of this too and you echoed my exact sentiments... hope they notify people. Time to rent out a P.O.box? what an inconvenience. The rental fee should be waived by USPS !
