MIDLAND – It looks like something done by vandals, but according to residents in Hollandale Heights it’s actually their mailman. Multiple people sent photos to NewsWest 9 of their cluster mailboxes.
You can see that every slot is wide open and mail still sitting in some of them. One person says the mailman told them it slipped his mind. In another photo, mail is scattered on the ground as residents try to pick it all up.
“It’s kind of frustrating to have your mail spread all over the place. The carriers are supposed to have that secure. I don’t know how they got open like that,” Calvin Howell said.
Howell happens to be a retired postal worker and said he was shocked when he heard that their local postman left all of the mail in one box for everyone to pick from.
“I knew it wasn’t a good idea to have people looking at other people’s mail because you never know what’s going to be in there, you know there might be checks and stuff like that in there,” Howell said.
Neighbors claim that they filed formal complains with the local post office and the postmaster but say nothing was ever done. read more

Maybe the USPS would get a better read on how things are going with all their in site shoot 1st ask question later skills survey postal pulse on the public? Not the sold down the river employees?
Man life is good as a ole timer, watching everything go to $….
Stop making excuses for this embarrassment to all hard working professional letter carriers who actually care about serving their customers.
probably a cca who was in a hurry to get to his real job that pays better and has benefits. Thank you Mr. arbitrator for killing the profession with underpaid temporary ee’s who don’t care. I see it every day, and the poom’s don’t care, they don’t want to hear about it.
They probably expect the guy to sort the mail at the cluster boxes in the wonderful weather you see. I’m not saying that’s an excuse, but I’ve been there. Ever try sorting mail when the temperature is zero? Add to that the pay rate of city carrier assistants.
pay peanuts and you will attract monkeys!
Where is the ‘NO JUNK MAIL’ list, to make it illegal to send this crap!
Not that this is an excuse but obviously he’s got a drinking problem. Get the guy some help or can him. Things like this make all postal employees look horrible.
