bigbruise Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sounds like you have a case on your hands. How has nobody seen mentioned this? Dude is obviously trying to hook up with you, date you, or do whatever sketchy shit with you. Paying you out of pocket and meet at a coffee shop, to settle a USPS dispute? You can so use this to your advantage and you'd be crazy not to. I would speak to his supervisor, or a main office or somebody explaining the record situation and then how the branch manager is attempting to get you to meet outside of the business for "coffee" and an un documented payment. Could probably even be passed as sexual harassment. Say you felt threatened, scared, or some shit. The ball is in your court. Slam dunk yo.

Brock N Roll Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I work for the USPS...and this is fucking bizarre what this guy is doing. I seriously have no words to describe how weird that is. Do you know if he is the Postmaster,Supervisor, Etc? Either way, you could go above him and talk to whoever the district head is and tell them what he is trying to do. He would get fired in heartbeat. seriously, just wow. haha bigbruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Exactly, my first thoughts. Dude just fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 yeah, i'd just let it go. but then again, who the fuck sends a record in a manilla envelope? did at least have backing?It was in a mailer... A really shitty thin mailer. I don't know what I want to do. I don't want to fuck the guy over, but I know it's naive of me to think he just wants to give me my money back for the sake of customer service.

Puts me on hold, then the guy Jamie was on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Some guys spend hundreds of dollars on drinks fishing for women. $27 is not a ton of money comparatively. I think he's just trying to hit on you. Don't report the dude. Give him credit for trying. lemongoat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's just crazy to me that they just didn't admit their screw up in the first place. They CLEARLY stuffed that in your mailbox and for the carrier to try to say otherwise is a fucking joke. Out of curiousity though....trying to look at it from both sides, was the package that the record came in marked as "Do Not Bend" or "Fragile" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'd have to look again, but I believe it had a fragile stamp on it. The Maureen lady had previously told me that it wasn't my regular mail guy on the route the day it was delivered. Whoever it was spent some time getting it in there, it took me a good 5 minutes to pry it out. My mailbox wouldn't open today... I assumed it was just frozen shut. I feel like I'm involved in some USPS conspiracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 oh no, I'm not backing the carrier up...its clearly his fault. To try to bend a package like that is idiotic but you'd be suprised what people send in large manilla packages that don't mark it as fragile or do not bend that get destroyed. One time, a person sent these really expensive sunglasses that cost like 200 bucks or something in a loose large manilla envelope with no protection whatsoever. Didn't insure it, didn't mark it "fragile" "do not crush" or "do not bend"...needless to say, the person on the recieving end was not happy that they were crushed.

hudsoncomplex Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What a bizarre story. Kind of want you to go and check out the situation, kind of think its a bad idea. I'm so torn! Either way, the paying you out of pocket bit is sketchy. Why don't you go with a friend. Tell him to bring the record and if he turns out to be dreamy go talk to him. If not, get a coffee and GTFO. It would be like that scene in Ghost World, except with a record instead of a green (?) sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyHill Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Say you can't meet up at the coffee shop but your brother is more then willing to stop by, just for reactions sake. kriss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have a voicemail and a missed call from him from earlier today. But the number he called from says 'unknown'. I didn't even think anything of it, I just called him back at the post office number. He did pronounce my name right though, which i found weird because no one ever does. He's got my home address, cell phone, work phone, and work address, dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sketchy. This is official post office business and should remain in the PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is getting serious. In a bad way. Invite a friend over tonight, and call PO tomorrow to somehow get a leash on this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 so as we agreed, i did some internet sleuthing and found Jamie from Michigan USPS. I look forward to your check of $27, thank you alogical and rudeboydh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 You know, the more I think of this the more I think this might need to be reported. This shit smacks of trouble. If you want I can call my friend Bobby T - he is a retired postal worker that serves as a volunteer firefighter with me. He would be able to gauge for me if this is way out of line.

steventangent Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 How about I check it out for you. Tell him you'll meet him, and I'll go in your place. Then maybe afterward we can grab some coffee and I'll tell you what went down? taylo234, yocaseycasey, nobodybrokeurheart and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks Dave. I'm going to call tomorrow. Should I call my branch? I'm just nervous... If I ask to speak with the manager, and the manager is him. Or should I call the main branch? Mike T, the dude looks like the guy who usually helps me out at my branch. Only his beard is about a foot longer. In other words, dammit mike T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniquemel0dy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I would call USPS customer service and see if there is a higher up you could speak with. This is serious, and that the fact that he has all of this info is frightening. USPS: Call 1-800-ASK-USPS® (800-275-8777) sjb2k1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyHill Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 From the CBS local site where this photo is from Post Office Memorial Union Steward and USPS Letter Handler Charlie Withers was one of 50 people working at the Royal Oak Post Office who were there 20 years ago on Nov. 14, 1991, when recently-fired letter carrier Thomas McIlvane shot 8 people. Mike T I think you just got catfished! alogical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
