Yesterday our mailman called Cindy a "bitch" and

[nevergiveup]

I and my assistant manager simultaneously went ballistic. He left with his head down and his tail between his legs. It felt good but I am a little concerned that we may have infuriated a postal employee. :scared:

1. Was this at a place of business?

Call his supervisor

[Jade Fox]

2. What in the world prompted that....

completely inappropriate remark?

[lonestarnot]

3. Do you want him to keep his $42 K annual job?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. If he talked about this during work,

complain to his supervisor. I don't think that postal workers are supposed to give their political opinions during work hours.

5. "He controls the mail

and if you control the mail you control information." Ah NEWMAN"

[nevergiveup]

6. This is a red Chicago suburb

and the guy, who was a sub, assumed we are all Repubs. It was fun setting him straight. We were talking politics and he has a right to his opinion but he crossed the line, big time, and watching his face when we came down on him was worth a million 37 cent stamps.

7. His tail may have been between his legs because of fear for his job

As other posters have pointed out...

8. This is wrong on so many levels

First, there is no need for that type of language from a public servant. The postal service is there to deliver mail, not opinion.

Secondly, the statement is directed against a grieving mother of a murdered child. It's not nice to hit someone when they are down and not around to defend themselves.

Finally, why isn't this person delivering mail in Iraq?

10. Well said!,

I hear that KBR Mail carriers in Iraq make $420,000 a year.:sarcasm:

14. "why isn't this person delivering mail in Iraq?"

Welcome to DU freshharbor!

I think you will fit in very nicely...

9. Turn that

corksucker in, he'll be gone before you hang up the phone. Do you have any idea how lomg the waiting list is for PO jobs? LONG!

11. Good for you!

Stupid mailman.

[lildreamer316]

12. You made me laugh.

Although I know it has the potential to not be funny.
You'll be fine; good for both of you!!

Truly scary! :crazy:
