“So I came outside lifted up the lid and all this mail was in here,” he said.
I remember back in the old days they would just hide it in storage units.
Any bets on the ethnicity of the carriers?
I hope that the 3% not delivered is to people who moved with no forwarding and the like.
How’s that Affirmative Action working for you, Philly?
Oops…Pittsburgh…but it’s the same story all over. Most of these “public servants” had no business being hired by the government.

Ever since they banned incinerators it's been really hard on mail carriers.
No one’s ever broken the 50% barrier!
Pittsburgh ping!
Or the days when the local postmaster would receive a call from an angry customer, drive over, look at the situation, and then fire the carrier without question?
Wonder how much money we paid for the carrier to admit throwing away the mail. Betcha extended unemployment benefits would be the minimum.
How was this poor carrier to know not to throw mail into the garbage without proper training?
We’re putting up here with more temps the PO is hiring on. We routinely get mail that should have been delivered next door, to the next street.... So far they’ve all been for the same ZIP, but that’s bound to change.
I moved into an apartment 3 years ago and am still getting mail for 3 other people I never met and do not know. I called the Post Office, no luck, I marked the mail, Return to sender, address unknown, signed em Elvis, didn’t work finally got a box of baby formula not for me, I gave it up well over 50 years ago, last straw.
I spoke to my mail carrier, who is good looking and has nice chests, and told her I had no use for the formula now but still like to look at the faucets from time to time. She got a kick out of that and put a label in my box saying that I am the only resident here. Even that don’t work.
I never have a problem when my good looking mail carrier is on the job but I have the occasional amish delivery guy and that seems to be when it crops up. I am setting up an ambush for him, going to put a cross on my mail box.
Worked for the AT+T guy who would not leave, I had politely told him I did need or want any of his products, but he kept talking, finally I thought let’s see how this works.
I said ‘Brother have you met Jesus?’ He couldn’t get away fast enough. You would thought I had thrown holy water on a vampire. He was amish also.
I’m in process of moving - getting new place ready & had utilities send mail there - postal guy, actually held my electric bill a week & wrote “new customer?” on it - luckily, I was able to pay over the phone. The only reason I knew it was an issue is that my Mom had sent something priority mail & checked the tracking & saw they had left a notice...so I scheduled a re-delivery, and it promptly showed up with the other held mail the next day. I guess they had not gotten my forwarding order yet.
Was it “junk mail”? :-)
(Shhh, don’t get Newman started!)
But at least they met the quota!
After rifling it for any cash birthday gifts.”
I sent two gift cards to two friends in Kansas from our Texas post office last year. Neither was received. Fortunately I had written down the credit card numbers on the gift cards. When I checked, both cards had been used locally. Took the info to the post office where I mailed them and sent in an official complaint. No action was taken by anyone. So I just don’t mail anything any more.
