I tried. I reported it to everyone who I thought might care. I never heard a peep out of anyone at the USPS. I thought maybe the ATF would be interested but they didn't reply either. The fact is, USPS staff are seemingly untouchable. At least that's how it appears to me.

But if you have info on who I should report it to let me know. I have the video, copy of the release where they wrote "covid" instead of getting a signature, and the label showing clearly the requirement to get a 21 or older signature.

And now some more to the story just in the last several days the news reported that another postage price increase for postage will be going up around the 1st of the year......................... drill sgt.

I did it for 4 months after leaving active duty. Worst job I've ever had in my life and only job I have ever walked out on.

Little to no training, increased work load if you are shown to be capable of working hard.

Lots of government rules and regulations preventing you from working efficiently. Curb the wheel and engage the parking brake even if you take one step out of the truck on a flat surface.

Lots of politics and maneuvering, post master is likely someone connected to someone else who is also connected.

Job description downplays the amount of work.

Time allotted to finish a route gets shorter despite mail/package load increasing.

If you are a sub, you will only sub on that route once every 2 weeks or so. You can't learn a route that way. You will end up working 3-4 different routes.

I've done similar. I worked for UPS during the holidays while on break from college for a couple of years. Might not be the USPS, but the pressure to do more, quicker, etc. was there. And not once did I just heave a package toward a house and move on, not get a signature when needed, etc. I did the job I was expected to do. Simple as that.

I am curious though. How much "training", how much extra "workload", what "regulations" and "rules", what "politics and maneuvering" is there that prevents someone from taking 5 more steps and placing a box on the ground? How much of all that prevents someone from leaving a note or getting a signature?

Yes, I haven't worked for the USPS, but despite the "haven't a clue" statements, I'm positive that these excuses, conditions, culture, etc. does NOT prevent someone from taking 5 more steps, doing the job correctly, etc. And you'll never convince me otherwise. It is 100% pure laziness or not giving a shit. And given that it's a protected job, I'm convinced that it is both. They don't do the job correctly because they don't want to. And there are no consequences for not doing it right. I've seen that firsthand so I "have a clue."

If you can't do the job or do it right, then get the fuck out like you did.
