In reply to the discussion: I will never put down postal workers again. So help me God. [View all]Skittles
(153,138 posts)33. I have never, ever trashed the USPS
I grew up as a GI brat and they were how I kept in touch with my relatives. And I have always despised people who complained about wait times. I mail a lot of packages to soldiers....I can go in and see no one there, then go back a week later at the same time on the same day of the week and there's a long line......post office traffic can be very fickle indeed. I think they do a great job.
