If you work for the postal system...

Onkel Neal · 12-18-12, 04:55 PM

If you work for the postal system, when you come in to my shop with your car for repair, you can pay me extra and I will make sure the work is done.

Pay another charge and if you call the shop, we'll tell you the status of your car repair.

If you return and we cannot find your car, don't blame us, even though we are the only ones who have had possession of it.

If you do get your car back, anything on it that is broken, that's your fault, you should have put more padding on the parts you didn't want broken.

We do offer assurance that your car won't be lost, we call it insurance, and yeah, you have to pay extra for it.

You will need to stand in a long line while our one, bored, disinterested clerk takes his/her time getting things done. Don't worry, from time to time you will see other clerks walking around in the back. And if you don't have all the proper forms completed--back in line with you. Don't like it? Blame your government, they are the one running this operation.

PS: I didn't copy this from anywhere

And here I thought this only happened in my home town. Except our clerks love cracking their gum as they chew like bovine in the field. Next.....

The DMV is whole other thread by itself. Now serving #2. Window 19.

Jim, the clerks work and act like they are doing you a favor. It's quite something. Its no wonder the postal service is always in the red.

My diecast (currently three in transit) gets through...so I'm currently happy

Gerald · 12-18-12, 07:52 PM

Could be because it shipped in special record, not in any package,

Must depend on what part of the country you live.

I have to go to the Post Office quite regularly and I have always found the people there helpful and the line moves pretty well.

Many times my carrier gets out of her vehicle in the rain (snow, sleet, gloom of night

) to put my large bundles on my porch when it would be so much easier for her to simply put one of those "pick up your big mail package at the post office" cards.

I don't think so Jim. That discription fits the US Postal Service to a T. Especially in the USA New Castle I live in. I've seen it happen here many many times. And getting a Passport at a post office is even more fun.
