The US Post Office has got to go

I got a package in today. For the second time in two weeks, the third time since we’ve lived in Nebraska, and the fourth time I can remember while living in an apartment, the postman did not even bother making a first attempt at delivering the package to my door. I managed to get to the post office in time to pick up the package, barely. When I complained, for the second time in two weeks, some older lady working in the next stall mentioned that they don’t deliver to apartments. WTF!?! They don’t deliver packages – or is it just packages requiring signatures (as my three in NE have been) – to apartments? Since when? I remarked: “Why do you even bother putting the package on the truck then?” But what else could I do? They’re a government monopoly. So with that I just took my package and left. Wasted half an hour of my day because they can’t deliver to your door and make more than one attempt like the private companies. Now they want to take an extra day off from work and they’re raising rates again in a couple weeks.
