USPS still on sidewalk

Observed by lawandorder on Mon, Nov 17 2008

Not only does the USPS employee park on the sidewalk, but she is using somebody else's placard.

In general, the workers at this post office (Peter Stuyvesant Station) break the law daily with their cars -- parking on sidewalks, double parking, parking in No Parking Anytime zones, and, apparently, providing copies of USPS placards to local residents to enable more illegal parking.

Oh, and customer service at this post office is terrible.

Must burn you they don't get a ticket. Don't complain about the service until you walk in their shoes. You have no clue what they go through.

No, not really. They'll get a ticket soon enough, or will get towed.

No, I guess I don't have a clue what they go through. Does that mean that I can't criticize the USPS for poor management of my tax dollars (yes, USPS still gets money from feds)?

They do? That's news to me. Your tax dollars don't pay their salary. That changed a long time ago. That is why the rate keeps going up. 95% of their salary comes from bulk mail (which is garbage mail to the public)

The car will not get towed as you claim. If a truck has to get into the bay they will go inside and get the owner of the car to move it. They most likely will not get a ticket.

I don't see what poor customer service has anything to do with this person parking on the sidewalk. If the post office gets incredible customer service reviews are they allowed to park on the sidewalk? Or better yet, would you have a problem with it if they were the nicest people in the world in there?

"The car will not get towed as you claim."

Actually, I've had some success with getting USPS-placarded cars towed in this location.
