Here’s a great snarky comment from Jimmy Kimmel. Jokes like this are funny because we’ve all experienced he misery of waiting in a line at the Post Office or DMV while bureaucrats chat with each other and otherwise goof off.
The U.S. Postal Service announced plans to close an additional 2,000 branches after losing $8.5 billion. Maybe in retrospect, making people wait in line while you slowly finish your bag of fiery hot Cheetos isn’t such a good idea.
Of course, when taxpayers bail out the Postal Service, the joke will be on us, but let’s not think about that right now. Instead, let’s dream that the government-imposed monopoly on mail delivery will end and the private sector takes over. Heck, even the Washington Post has acknowledged this is the right direction.
ha ha. We will dream on.
And I don’t know why thinking about going to the post office makes me feel miserable! It just seems the service could be smoother and more customer friendly.
Perhaps this is why I do everything online. I get bill notifications via email and I pay then online. That way, I know I the payment arrived on time.
Speaking of Post Office inefficiency, I received my mail today (junk mail as usual), but all of the real mail, 6 pieces in all, were for someone else. Meaning none of the real mail was meant for me, but it ended up in my mail box, including 1 piece that was for a completely different street name.
And the USPS wonders why it’s going broke.
