  1. The customer was absolutely wrong!!! Don’t mean to play the race card here but if it were a black woman as the aggressor and the mail carrier was a white woman the carrier would have been backed to the fullest, and charges filed against the blonde or if the black female letter carrier handed the customer the mail before it was properly secured, as the carrier job entails, the carrier would have been subject to termination in accordance with ELM 665.21 and USC 1700. The carrier fought to uphold the rules, laws, and regulations of the USPS, and as a result she has to fight for her career? It appears to me the deck was already stacked against this carrier. I’m certain if the OIG conducted a unbiased investigation the investigation will uncover this carrier has engaged in protected EEO activity or filed union grievances. One thing is for certain the USPS has NO DESIRE for anyone who excercises their civil rights. This Carrier was targeted!!UNBELIEVABLE!!!

  2. The customer should have waited for the delivery of her medicine to be completed. She had no right to reach into the control of the carrier’s area. This can be interpreted as an act of aggression and an attempt to assault the carrier. The carrier needs to be backed up to the max!

  3. The mail is not available for customers until it is all inserted into the boxes. Much of it is out of order, and multiple deliveries to the same box might be made at the same session.

    If the blond did not have ID, and was new there, the mail carrier does not have to hand it to her.

    Having to have multiple medications is no call for the customer to try to hurry the carrier.

    Carriers have to deal with people wanting their mail RIGHT NOW, with no box keys, no ID, etc., and it gets stressful.

    If the carrier was still at the boxes when the customer came back, she should have WAITED to retrieve her mail. It is NOT acceptable to reach in and grab your mail out of your own mailbox while the main access doors are open. Sounds like that is what may have happened.

  4. The woman acted agressively toward the Letter Carrier reaching to take something from her…That is a no no and should be perceived as a threat to the well being of the Postal Carrier. Did anyone see all the prescription bottles she has…..she was probably all jacked up and now the Postal Carrier is charged because Blondy couldn’t keep her hands to herself!!! SMH
