1. Need your Union squashed and your Postal Service privatized?

   PMG’S and Darrell Issa’s can be purchased by your local lobbyist!

2. thats kind of sickning

3. The Postal management, which is always overstaffed in every field, stresses customer service, always. Yet, the latest, newest tactic is to drive customers away by pointing customers to utilize the kiosk in the postal lobbies, and tell the customer to go to some private entity to get service.

   I’ve been in customer service for a long time. It appears that postal managers of all levels are going after these window service jobs in order to save money by eliminating these positions nationwide. Even closing down smaller offices to two hours of service per day.

   I wonder two things, 1) by eliminating window service and creating wait time in line for the customer, will this really save money or send them to the competitor., 2) can this latest move that us postal service managers are implementing really create revenue and give the customer it’s best service.

4. How sad this is. Our own employer sending people to the local market down the street.. Wonder if the Valley Mart has a sign that reads Milk can be purchased at the Post Office??

   • YOU CAN THANK THE PMG FOR ALL OF THIS. HE IS SLOWLY DESTROYING THE POST OFFICE ON PURPOSE. THE PERSON AT THE GAS STATION MAKES MINIMUM WAGE, WE ARE NO LONGER NEEDED. SAD SAD SAD

5. A sign of the times… stay tuned!

6. What a joke the postal service is. And yes I am an employee

7. Our main Post Office had a philatelic and collectibles “store”. When lines were long at regular windows, one of the window clerks would announce “If you need only stamps, you can get them at the philatelic window”. I believe the clerk in the philatelic store actually sold way more stamps than the 5 window clerks combined. I am a collector of stamps and own hundreds of dollars worth in face value alone. Our city has, or had, a lot of collectors, because I would stand in line to buy commemoratives or new stamps when they came out. So they closed the philatelic store. Now, you have to buy your collectible stamps at a regular window after standing in line, sometimes a long time, then be told “I don’t have any, maybe the clerk at the next window does”. I got so frustrated I have stopped collecting.

8. Has this business been mismanaged or what :-).
