NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Residents of a Bronx building say they haven’t been getting their mail lately, and they say were told it is all because the postal carrier is too short to reach the mailboxes.
As CBS2’s Dave Carlin reported, the mail has been missing for every tenant in the building on Aldus Street. One resident, Lynette Hargrove, came to the local Post Office to find out why and said she was shocked by the supervisor’s answer.
“The mail carrier is too short to deliver,” Hargrove said.
Hargrove knows the carrier, who several tenants said has been delivering their mail for a year. For some reason two weeks ago, that changed.
Hargrove estimates that she and the mail carrier are the same height — 5 foot 2 — and does not understand why the carrier can’t reach.

let her deliver in the underground sewers of new york city!
Send out a Postal Supervisor immediately with a Tape measure and record the measurements to the top of the Mailbox. Then send those measurements to the Department of Labor & Statistics in Washington DC and wait for a decision. Until then, everyone involved should stand in place and go on break.
What a wonderful job of public relations by the postmaster/supervisor. Slamming the door in the face of the reporter and camera crew?!? What would happen to a craft employee who portrayed the postal service in such a negative way?
Leave the”dwarf” a step stool in the lobby you morons.
Fire them all.
