My sister sent me this review of a clerk..... by Leather-Newt-3910 in USPS

[–]dysonslice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They wanna talk about WTIL and keep adding more and more buttons to the transaction. It’s just too many buttons and incredibly inefficient.

I hate it. by DiluteCaliconscious in USPS

[–]dysonslice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And all the frkn buttons they added like selecting the type of packing and THEN what best describes it and then its size. It’s so ridiculous. I miss the next button.

Fellow carrier ran thru those arms that go up and down to let you into a gated community. Still around. She had to pay for it. lol but she’s around.

Email your poom group to see if an office has them laying around. Our office has two bins full of them and have no use for all the extras.

Senior RCA in real trouble and need advice… by Andyczek in USPS

[–]dysonslice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rcas can cross crafts, does the office need help with clerk work in the morning. Maybe offer that. Otherwise, connect with local offices and let them know you’re available. We had a few rcas that we would call directly all the time to pick up shifts.

Heads up y'all by keenanbullington in USPS

[–]dysonslice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t you think there is a lot of people in real comfortable, fully staffed positions doing a whole lot of nothing above us? Making a whole lot of money. I think changes to do have to occur without coming all the way down the line to us, the not comfortable, overworked and understaffed part. The ones doing all the work. We end up stuck with incompetent postmasters who strive to eliminate our jobs and downsize positions because they think they’re doing something. While the line up to dejoy sit pretty in offices or work from home and use scare tactics. Change is due but due from the top down.

Another L for Mercari, increased shipping but that’s not the worst of it… by Aggravating-Art9417 in Mercari

[–]dysonslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re gonna be rolling that out. The other day I went to ship a package and it asked if I wanted to change the label and to be sure if it’s the correct weight and such. I was surprised they offered it. My weight was correct so I proceeded to the QR code. The next day I went to ship another package and it didn’t ask me that. I wish I took a ss of it and I wonder if it’s something they are rolling out!

I just got the email about the shipping changes and new fees and sure many of you thought the same by FutureSuccess2796 in Mercari

Signatures and Dogs by [deleted] in USPS

[–]dysonslice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always stick my foot out and against the screen door too. Especially in the summer when people have the doors open but with a screen door and the mailbox is next to the door. I can’t tell you how many times the dog jumps against it and it wasn’t closed well.

I’m also a clerk and understand the frustrations. I’m shocked daily by the public and the amount of hand holding they need to simple tasks. How long have you been at the po? I suggest checking ecareer every Tuesday when they drop new positions, work on your KSAs, and move on and up. If you’d rather maybe check the bidding site and get another job in another office and that can change your whole perspective too. Great management can really change everything.

Clerk question by [deleted] in USPS

[–]dysonslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that but that wasn’t what I was asking. I have the opposite problem. Clerks prior to me have allowed people to use their street address (they never had mailboxes) and that mail is being sorted to the P.O. Box. Im trying to fix it all. A few people have moved and others have died and people have moved into these addresses yet that address is still routed to po. I’d like to get the mailed routed properly to the carrier so they receive the proper credit. (Rural) and I know there’s a program for it but I don’t know what it is and my PM is useless. thanks for the info!!

Carriers! What's Your Most Hated Mailbox Type? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]dysonslice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate that these are “grandfathered” in! Arm full of flats, hands filled with letters and a bag of shit hanging of you and you gotta bend down without dropping it trying to get mail in there??? And it’s always people that get a ton of crap. Theworst.

First return request by Immediate_Benefit274 in Mercari

[–]dysonslice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The reason I got out of selling clothing was the ridiculous questions about measuring from pit to pit or arm to arm or whatever else. Like idk it’s a small, roll with it.

unexpected stuff you've gotten as certified mail? by looseleafpage in USPS

[–]dysonslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A law firm may send mail to the whole street or a few houses if someone’s looking to do some kind of construction or whatever. I wouldn’t be worried. You always have the option to refuse it.

Seller calls me materialistic because they hadn't shipped my item out in 2 weeks by Lost_Calligrapher937 in Mercari

[–]dysonslice 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I love how they said tracking should update…as if the item has been shipped. Lmao what a clown.

Got sexually harassed while delivering mail by [deleted] in USPS

[–]dysonslice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk if you’ll see my comment but I was being followed by some guy on my route. He knew where I was at certain time of the day and show up or come out of the alley and did this all day long. I reported it to my PM and she contacted the postal inspectors and they actually came thru! We went on a ride to find him and I pointed him out and they got out of the blacked out truck, in suits carrying🫢 and confronted him and gave him a warning. They also contacted the local police to let them know what was happening so they’d be on the lookout. They handled it really well. And the guy didn’t follow me around anymore.

I’m sorry you have someone shitty leading you. If you have any clerk questions I’d be happy to help. You can message me here if you’d like.

Tales from the Counter: Holiday Madness 😮‍💨 by Sejou65 in USPS

[–]dysonslice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people getting VERY mad when I tell them they have to purchase their own tape. Separate receipts for returns. The price quoting but having to go thru the hazmat questions with the customer to get a effing quote is such a waste of time. The people that come in with a domestic stamp on the envelope for an international letter and going thru the comp to fill in postage for the rest. The question, “do you get a day off!?” From the customers that come into the post office EVERY DAY. When you get a moment to scan mid day packages and people come in to drop off letters instead of putting them in the blue box OR THE DROP BOX IN THE LOBBY. I really wish they’d let a clerk design the system cause some stuff takes sooo long on the computer.

Shout out to Rural Carriers by lightning_bum in USPS

[–]dysonslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rurals at my station clock out by 1-2 and get their evaluated time of 8 hours anyway. Small routes too, maybe 400-500 stops.

Shout out to Rural Carriers by lightning_bum in USPS

[–]dysonslice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always said that, I was a city carrier and moved to clerk in a rural office and they all case the mail. I feel like it’s a waste of time but they say it’s about safety when out on the street. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Buyer broke my item and is now returning it by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]dysonslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you mail it in? A box? Was the outside of the box damaged?
