You're telling me! I keep expecting the worst to happen anytime something like that happens, but fortunately they haven't all happened in the same week. Yikes!

Merciful heavens if the wrong manager or inspector with an agenda catches your mistakes.I am not crying wolf,I am just saying cover yourself.Your mileage may vary depending on your location at the PO,but some customer service managers and others in charge are on a vendetta in my district.

Merciful heavens, when I think of the mistakes I've made on the register & no consequences followed, it is quite embarassing. Such as: Put the seal on the raw mail pouch & sent it down, left the register pouch hanging on the rack with the register in it, completely unsealed. And the HCR signed that they got three pouches but only took two! Such as: Put the seal on the empty register pouch and sent it, left the register in my envelope drawer (at least the drawer was locked).

thanks.

Failure to follow proper security procedures on registry items.One person even forgot to seal the bag which was taken by the contract driver.Also,make sure you have a return address on registered items you accept over the counter.

/m1603 what exactly were they suspended for so we don't do the same?

Did they actually take money? Or was it just sloppy handling of registered pieces?

Not to window clerks=be very careful related to bank deposits.Make sure to postmark and properly tape all of them and follow registry procedures.We have had two window clerks suspended pending termination in the last month on this matter.

This is for the fax question--on POS, it's supposed to be entered using the Sale channel button before you eneter the item code. gives you 2 choices--stamps on consignment or stamps by mail. we use the stamps by mail button. if it's forever stamps, it goes into 011; the rest of the stamps ring up as 094 automatically. hope this helps.

Oh my God, you are right!

Oh, I was serious. Another option: use a pseudonym for everything related to the book.
Actually, laws were passed in the '80s preventing some federal employees from having books published (some politicians had crappy stuff ghost-written for them and the publishers' advances were, in all but name, legal bribes) but they may have expired.

/m1596 LOL . . . but probably good advice

/m1595 For every horror story you can come up with (and I don't deny there are some), the PO can come up with 10 where we saved the day for people.

My advice: retire first.

I am a 34 year Postal Worker and I have written a book about the Postal Service. Can I print this book without getting into hot water with the Postal Service? My book tells about employee and customer horrors. I know the Postal Service does not want this info out to the public.
