Yesterday our mailman called Cindy a "bitch" and
I and my assistant manager simultaneously went ballistic. He left with his head down and his tail between his legs. It felt good but I am a little concerned that we may have infuriated a postal employee. :scared:

4. If he talked about this during work,
complain to his supervisor. I don't think that postal workers are supposed to give their political opinions during work hours.

6. This is a red Chicago suburb
and the guy, who was a sub, assumed we are all Repubs. It was fun setting him straight. We were talking politics and he has a right to his opinion but he crossed the line, big time, and watching his face when we came down on him was worth a million 37 cent stamps.

7. His tail may have been between his legs because of fear for his job
As other posters have pointed out...

8. This is wrong on so many levels
First, there is no need for that type of language from a public servant. The postal service is there to deliver mail, not opinion.

Secondly, the statement is directed against a grieving mother of a murdered child. It's not nice to hit someone when they are down and not around to defend themselves.

Finally, why isn't this person delivering mail in Iraq?
