Yea they made a big step changing how we fund our retirement, they aren't going to fix people not applying for jobs.

They are well aware of the dissatisfaction, believe it or not being contacted by a senator about poor service is (a weird) one of many ways customers file complaints. They are also aware of every single thing happening in office routes, are well aware of the shortages, and do their best to make current employees pick up the slack. As you can imagine, this pushes more employees out and the cycle continues.

Perhaps waterbury residents should show up to vote this year.

Thank you- made me chuckle. I still don't have my registrations and a tax form. Maybe they will show up sometime this week. If not, I will need to drive to the post office on Saturday to pick them up. I am not angry but frustrated.

Shit, my USPS is hit or miss. Been living in the same place for 15 years and now all of a sudden they keep claiming that my front door isn't accessible (it is perfectly accessible). I've watched the driver pull up to the bottom of my lane, leave a notice, and then leave without even attempting to drive up. I've even given them specific instructions to leave my packages at the bottom of my lane if for whatever bs reason they claim they can't make it up. Amazon, UPS, and FedEx deliver just fine.

I am in almost exactly the same situation, just a few years ahead of you. My oldest kids are about to head off to college... Out of state.

I just got a re-fuel from Amerigas on Monday for 3.119 a gallon, I think you should call them and complain

I’ve had a package “out for delivery” for the last two days. Definitely hoping there are some people out there who are right for the job that are currently considering applying. Have never looked into the benefits of the job, but hopefully it’s a sweet deal otherwise I don’t see anyone applying. Honestly, if I wasn’t already so invested in my own career path, I’d consider it.

Update: this place is so toxic. I posted a suggestion on how to get help, based on my experience and people are criticizing me and down voting me? Next time I won't bother to help
When I had that issue I contacted Welch and it was fixed immediately. But may be different now that he's in the Senate. Try Balint

Your new guitar from Sweetwater will be delivered by FedEx.
Your talent, along with your intellect got lost in the mail.

I've worked for both FedEx and UPS. Both excel at parcel delivery. USPS not so much.
The USPS is the biggest customer of FedEx spending $2 BILLION annually to hand pkgs to FedEx so they will be successfully delivered.
The US Tax payer just handed the USPS $100 BILLION in the form of the Postal Service Reform Act of 2021. And they still suck at mail delivery.
How much of your tax dollars go to subsidize UPS and FedEx? ZERO!
Have fun paying your taxes.

Years ago we were in Hawaii for our 30th Anniversary. At some point we were talking to some locals, and they were lamenting that their biggest export was their youth. "The kids just want to get off the rock."

In my experience, it's exactly the thing to do. I once contacted Senator Sanders office about delivery in my town, and because of them received an explanation from the office of the person in charge of northern New England. Kind of impressive, actually. If the postal authorities aren't made aware of customer dissatisfaction they will operate as though there is none.

Nativism is apparently under duress in Vermont. There was a time in our country that freedom of movement, exploration and personal adventure were embraced as virtue. Now, NIMBY includes interstate movement. SMH

Second the advice to get rid of Amerigas. If for no other reason than they NO LONGER SERVICE PROPANE APPLIANCES. You will be absolutely screwed when you need any maintenance or repairs. We swapped to Blanchard’s (locally owned) to have access to their servicemen. Amerigas has crap customer service. Switch before you’re in a bind.

Leave your car in Franklin & ride the train in for $10-$15 I can’t remember how much it was, I believe $10 one way
Edit: OR just take concord coach into the city & walk around/Uber
