Another dumba that never touched a piece of mail or worked the window great choice, why dont you find a person that has experience in working the window or on the work floor maybe they could give you some insight as to the real world of the U.S.P.S. When you have small town post offices only open from 8am to 11am close untill 1pm and reopen untill 4pm how can anyone use these offices. Open your eyes and give the public a service they can use or staff the offices that are open 8am to 5.30pm.
So he never did basic ‘someone breathing down’ your neck work with the USPS. He has worked for years promoting automation, we are doomed
