United States Postal Service

Charlotte Armstrong

I have done business with the S. Academy Post Office for 16 years, and am very proud to call it my postal home. Yes, some of the postal clerks come across as stiff, formal & 'can't be bothered to tell you a second time', but that doesn't last long if you get to know them by first name and make them laugh. This takes time, but it will come if you do a lot more listening and observing. Each postal clerk is a person who has many of the same adult responsibilities, heartaches and hourly disasters as you have. Haven't you ever had a work day when your work seemed like a bland routine ? It happens, and the only way through it is just to shift into 'bland mode' which can be seen as aloofness and rudeness. Postal workers not only have to pass grueling Civil Service exams to get their postal jobs in the first place, but they also have executive intelligence way beyond what is required for their jobs, plus have ti maintain their calm while suffering through annoying public for hours on end. This group with executive-like minds have largely been artificially 'placed' in jobs that require the learning and recalling of a huge amt. of USPS data. Add that to sharp minds, and it is entirely possible that bordam has set in.

Drove all the way over here because the post office on Wrenn Ln (which is the worst office on planet Earth btw) had a broken, yes broken self-service package drop. Well this place is stuck in the 1960s, no self-serve kiosk or package drop in the lobby that is accessible after the counter area is closed. This makes two Cary post offices that I have been to just to mail a package and I haven't been able to mail the stupid thing yet.

Staff here is alright, I guess. Nothing else to say.
