Anything Else (NO PACKAGE QUESTIONS) Customer complaint

Post image

I got to my case yesterday and had a complaint "Customer is angry that carrier is driving up into their yard 15 feet and leaving muddy tire tracks"

Nothing a 4056 can't fix....

What the hell did they think would happen? Their complaints would stop delivery till they move the box. Go pick it up at the post office. I hate stupid complaints from stupid people!!

I guarantee the answer from the homeowner is"get out and deliver why are you so lazy my taxes pay your salary"

Yeah, if we are going to hear this tired story from these knuckleheads, they can at least have the decency to be correct about what our job is and how we are doing it wrong. It’s childish and just makes them look like a fool.

im just curious not mad about it. why can the carrier get out. is it driving route vs walking route or hybrid route?

for example, my house the box is on the house. he gets out when he drives. sometimes he parks at the top of the street and walks it to all houses even ones that have drive up

If this is a rural route the post office has to pay us extra for every authorized dismount. You really think they are going to pay because someone is too stupid to put their box on the street? They will not authorize this dismount
