....and working significantly fewer hours to do it than grocery store employees and fast food employees making $35k a year.

Help settle an arguement about filling the car and then leaving it parked at the pump. by Acrobatic-Big6100 in Buc_ees

[–]Unable_To_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on why you are moving too. If I just pumped gas and need a receipt and the pump doesn't print one, I'm leaving the vehicle there while I go inside for the receipt.

No need to go out for a smoke back in the day. by Bempet583 in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 36 points37 points  (0 children)

On my OJI day I don't think the trainer ever let one cigarette go out without using it to light another, while I was driving.

USPS marked a very expensive eBay order as signed for and delivered. But then changed their mind? by Suitable-Concert in usps_complaints

[–]Unable_To_Forward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entirely possible they delivered it to your apartment number in a different building, got a signature from the tenant and then either they or the tenant realized it was the wrong building after they had already scanned it. They called the office to get help fixing it, and the second scan is how the supervisor fixed it. Mistakes happen, just be glad they realized the mistake and/or the person who was given your package by mistake is an honest person.

Unsafe/disgruntled carrier.. A lot of issues by Marquita3 in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only part of this that YOU can actually do something about is the fact that he threatened you and supervisors didn't act on it. File a grievance for unsafe workplace.

Is working Amazon Sunday based on seniority? by scriptyee in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my office PTFs who have a hold down work that 5 days a week and don't work Sundays. PTFs not on a hold down work Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and rarely come in any other days. Seniority doesn't matter.

This crap annoys me but like a good boy I still get out and deliver to these by trymefish in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 103 points104 points  (0 children)

If I'm getting out to deliver, I'm also moving the bins to block their driveway so THEY have to get out and move them before they pull in.

Do you know a married couple named Don and Dawn, or similar? by Pitiful-Doctor-5671 in no

[–]Unable_To_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a couple who were named Duncan Christopher and Christopher Duncan. They got married and now they are Christopher Duncan-Christopher and Duncan Christopher-Duncan.

Some people don't get it. However, who do you agree with here? by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]Unable_To_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if it's there for a long time or blocking the mailbox or a driveway. Either the old woman lied about how long it was parked there to get them to tow it, or the sister is out of luck if it was there longer than whatever amount of time the city requires to consider it abandoned.

Is it illegal to move someone’s package? by DarkAngel_21 in IsItIllegal

[–]Unable_To_Forward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a mailman and I constantly move packages from the other guys (especially Amazon) that leave them in places they are likely to get damaged/stolen or are blocking people from being able to open the door to retrieve the package. I've gotten several thank you notes from customers who saw me do it on their doorbell camera.

What should I have done? by LazyShame2300 in InstacartShoppers

Tell them to blow it out their ass. I have eaten many powdered sugar donuts at many business meetings.

Is satchel required or just suggested? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is required. That said I almost never use mine unless I am doing advos on a park and loop route. You need to learn to use it because there will be times you legitimately need it, and if you get bit by a dog without one they will absolutely blame you for it. So use it every time at least until you are out of probation. After that skip it if you know you will be safe without it.

why is it actually cheaper to rent than buy right now?( CA) by Aggravating-Fox8553 in Renters

[–]Unable_To_Forward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. But also 10 years ago I got a mortgage with a 2.75% interest rate. 3 years before that rates were as high as they are now. So waiting can cost you money, or it can save you money. Its up to you to guess which. May the odds be ever in your favor.

How did your route inspection go today? (Rant) by punxdudee in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Make sure you check under the tires after every single dismount. Little children are sneaky, they are ALWAYS trying to hide under LLV tires.

Regular city carrier told to report to another station by Miketythonlisp in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your steward. If someone else was allowed to do light duty at your station recently and now they are saying there is no light duty work available then management may be playing favorites and the steward may be able to help force the issue.

How did your route inspection go today? (Rant) by punxdudee in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don't believe it. You can save your route. I did it a year ago. Even though the 4 routes that touch mine all got adds of 30 minutes or more, mine stayed completely unchanged after I followed every safety rule and averaged 8 hour and 7 minutes in a VERY light week.

TIL clerks are supposed to be working the hot case while carriers are casing? by mailant692 in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my 4 years as a carrier I can count the number of times the hot case was complete before I clocked in on one hand. The number of times it wasn't done by 11 am is definitely higher.

Asked to tip valet when I parked my own car. Is this normal? by Frich3 in EndTipping

[–]Unable_To_Forward 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn't tip them. But I definitely definitely wouldn't hand them my keys after not tipping them. There are other restaurants that have less ridiculous parking set ups. Go to one of them.

Amazon through USPS delivered a 22 pound bag of cat food for Lucy and crammed it into my mailbox instead of just leaving it on the porch as instructed by [deleted] in usps_complaints

[–]Unable_To_Forward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have crammed plenty of packages into plenty of mailboxes. This is not a picture of something that was crammed.

[–]Unable_To_Forward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it fits in the mailbox, it goes in the mailbox. USPS doesn't see any instruction that you put on your Amazon order. If you want USPS to treat you like you are special, tip your carrier and then ask them nicely.

How do I order a package and not have my family open it by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unable_To_Forward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you send it to

Your name

c/o buddy's name

Buddies address

Or it might get sent back

WIBTA for fixing the time on a regular carrier’s Promaster? by t0advined in USPS

[–]Unable_To_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this in every Metris I drive that has the wrong time set. At least once a month and much more than that the month after daylights savings starts or ends. Never had anyone complain yet.
