    Amazon/USPS "delivered" package?

    I have a couple rather minor USPS issues. One really isn't with the Post Office but rather the tenants next door. The apartment next door (in my building) is rented to medical students taking a board certification course here in St Augustine. They stay in the apartment anywhere from 4-8 weeks. Well, many of these folks do a change of address at the PO, which i think is fairly ridiculous for temporary housing---but maybe they are between residences, I guess. 

     

    The issues occur after they move. We still get mail to people who haven't lived here in years. Important mail, sometimes. No biggie. I just write "No longer at this address" and stick it back in the mailbox. Well, about half the time the mail carrier takes that mail, and leaves new mail to the exact same person. Seriously?  WTF? We get very few pieces of mail. How hard is it to take a second to make sure you aren't putting mail in the mailbox with the same name as the mail you are taking to return?  For this I blame both the old tenants and the carrier.

     

    But mostly I just wanted to say, read Post Office by Charles Bukowski.

    I'm a Rural Carrier. That's lazy. Do your job. There's very easy ways to fix that issue. Starts with your commitment to the job.
