Marketeer... oh I mean Wossa ......

The most common mistake made while carrying mail is similar #'s coupled with Human Error. On my route I have three 308's, 4 110's, 6 304's etc etc you get the picture. Mail carriers don't actually read every piece of mail the get. We glance at it. After yrs of doing this shit you pick up on the #'s, letters of a name etc. You get to a point where you see the adresses and names so much you just "scan" the letter. In that same split second you can tell if that letter goes to your route or not. Think about it. I handle about 3-4k letters a day and 1500-2000 flats(magazines) a day for my route of 651 boxes. You get used to seeing the same stuff but then add in Human Error and bam you have the wrong piece of mail or the wrong street with the right #.


I'm not giving excuses but just telling it straight. If you have never made a mistake at work I applaud you and apologize for errors made by others but if you have made mistakes at work please understand that mail carriers are human and they make mistakes.

Best solution: If you see your mail carrier coming up the street go meet that person. Don't talk his/her head off but go up introduce yourself and be nice. Mention to them that the mail is being delivered wrong and felt it better to talk to them instead of calling the PO.... forgot to mention learn their name and call them that when you see them again. Don't be scared.... we don't all carry guns

From then on wave if/when you see them and if you can remember their name say hello.
It sounds stupid but that's what works best IMO.

Michael - I mean mailman -

if I do all those things will he/she start accidentally on purpose start leaving the wrong mail with cash and/or Playboys in the box?



sorry to give you grief. We have the worst post office in the world up here. My business uses the same one and the mail problems are too numerous to document. We have complained and complained to no avail.

 

Wossa don't work. He just posts on the board. Hard to make a mistake when you don't do anything.
