I think it's so audacious and shows such a lack of understanding when people bitch about the post office. I'll try to be brief;
1. The PO doesn't hire seasonal help. UPS does at $9.50/hr. According to the post office they do. They did in Iowa and they do here in Oregon.....maybe where you are its different. Maybe a small little post office they won't, but for bigger post offices, processing centers, and truck driver they do.
2. If you're not happy with paying $11 to ship 68 lbs of f***ing pennies and have it likely arrive in 2-3 days, then go to UPS or Fedex next time and see how much they'll charge you. I am more than happy that they only charge that amount. I just expect if they offer a service they follow through with it.
3. USPS has the cheapest postage in the world! And its unfathomable to me how people whine about "oh postage went up 1 cent." Boo f***ing hoo! Look how much everything else on the planet increases. I don't see anyone here complaining about that. I am surprised it doesn't go up more.
4. USPS gets no money from the government and operates solely on revenue generated through sales and services, contrary to popular belief. I'm not going to take the time to look up if this is true or not
5. Every single one of your f***ing pennies were in the box with an explanation and apology, and I bet they'd even refund your money. I don't think every single one was in there and no they wouldn't fefund my postage...I already talked to them and they said reuse the label....not that that is even possible
The status quo hoi polloi just love to bad mouth and debase and bitch about the postal service, but I'd encourage you people to think about what exactly they're bitching about. There is so much misinformation about the PO it's rather irritating to me.
I'm still at the office looking at a stack of parcels already here for tomorrow that are ten feet high, and there will be twice that coming in tomorrow. Every one of them will get delivered tomorrow. I'm amazed that MORE don't get damaged. There are very few thieves here. Nobody will risk a $50,000/yr job for a fistful of copper pennies.
Merry Xmas

Do you know where you are? Had you considered that you will get NO sympathy posting obscenities and griping like this AT A PENNY SITE?
Don't think anyone said anything about thieves either!!!
Having said all that, I'm sorry your job is tough. Really.
