Your friendly neighborhood postal workers are still out there, postally working. So be kind: don’t go to the post office if you don’t absolutely need to. Don’t order things you don’t need right now. Packages are out of control right now: we’re almost at December levels, with everyone home, and we’re starting to lose people to quarantine and burnout. A few comments to help you be the BEST customers right now:
Tape a hand sanitizer inside your mailbox, or a thing of lysol wipes. Your carrier will love you forever.
Leave them a tip, if you’ve been ordering a million amazon packages and can.
Send letters if you want - those don’t add to the burden! And it’s fun to see people still connecting that way, and makes me at least feel like it’s still worth coming to work. But please tape them shut if you can, or use a wet paper towel rather than licking them. I know it likely doesn’t make much of a difference, but it makes me feel better to think people are keeping their spit to themselves.
Don’t come outside to chat when your carrier comes by. This should be obvious but IS NOT.
One of my carriers said some customers have been putting their phone number in the mailbox so he can call them if they have a big package or something needs to be brought in immediately. Then he can let them know it’s there.
If you MUST come in to the post office, PLEASE try not to use cash. Cash is gross. Use a card. That means I don’t have to touch anything you touched.
We’ll be here till the country shuts down completely. Help us keep things going.
