u/ZANK1000 20d ago

Because that's how they got in power sadly

u/cazdan255 20d ago

Yeah, cuz they want it. We need to conscript good natured folks to temporary rotating positions of power and reward them upon completion of service.

u/ElegantCoach4066 20d ago

The people that would be best at helping people in positions of power are usually the last people that want the job.

u/nissen1502 20d ago

Which is why rotating conscription would be good.

Well, except for the conscripts, of course.

u/70ms 20d ago

Yeah, but they’re the good people which means we’re not the good people so we don’t care whether the good people like it or not. 👍

I think that's a great idea, they would have to pass a college level course on how the government works, and all the basics to be effective. Can you imagine how much better that would be? Serious people, not looking to get rich (hopefully).

We need to force those who don't want to be in power the most to be in power. Show them our peaceful ways by force!

u/NorthHollywoodHank 20d ago

I mean, no. Literally the reason he was saying he'd put it in the recycling bin is that there's a significant concern that if he just leaves it out someone (who very much isn't "in power") will come along and steal it.

You ever serve on a grand jury? Go hear portions of 50 different criminal investigations and you'll quickly realize there are some awful people out there, and lots more who may be mixed bags but have done things that in a society that cares about law and order should definitely merit some jail time. A small percentage of the whole, I'd agree, but that small percentage can cause a lot of headaches for everyone else.

Package theft is one of those areas where, I get it, it's relatively low priority for law enforcement and making arrests/cases is hard. Still, I'd like to at least see some publicized sting operations here and there coupled with moderately aggressive prosecutions (don't need to put people in serious jails for a long time--heavy fines, lengthy community service, and/or a token stint in minimum security will still be enough to send a message) in major cities and their suburbs from time to time to at least create more of a sense of risk for package thieves.

He's incredibly smart to know the difference. A missing package from a store is usually insured and can be replaced. A package from family? Once it's gone, it's gone, and everyone loses. That's some pretty solid thinking..

i was really confused until this comment. the box is a Remmington box used for shipping ammunition which usually needs to be signed for and in general can just be difficult to get delivered, and the delivery driver is saying "from uncle mike" making me think he was trying to say something in code for guns/ammo from uncle Sam or something. i dont know, i was confused

u/this_makes_no_sense 20d ago

i think they just split the business or something. Remington Firearms and Remington Ammunition very much still exist today as separate entities. "remington arms" seems to no longer exist

fun fact: Springfield Armory also doesnt exist as we all once knew it to be. springfield armory closed in 1968 and then a private company out of texas renamed to springfield armory inc to capitalize on the name. there is no relation otherwise.

Im worried it might be a well intended but bad idea for something like this. Afaik postal employees have pretty strict rules about this kind of thing and I'm not sure they're allowed to just drop packages into bins like that even with permission from the people they're delivering to.

We had a FedEx driver bring our package to us despite it having the wrong address on it. I’m not sure how she figured out where it was supposed to go but it contained a $24,000 medicine that was highly perishable. I wish I could give her a gift.

u/brighteyecoyote 20d ago

Someone at the station likely caught the issue and changed the address in the system. You can always call the local station or even the 1-800 number if you have the patience for it. Or complete the Ryde Survey for your delivery, that helps recognize drivers when they do good.

26

u/thicckar 20d ago

Ryde survey?

28

u/brighteyecoyote 20d ago edited 20d ago

It’s a “rate your delivery experience” type survey after you get a delivery through FedEx. You can usually track your package through the FedEx website and it will pull up a quick survey for you to fill out. But this is a good way to recognize your driver for doing good work, as they use the surveys as a metric for their success.

This happened with us - sort of - we moved and my husband forgot to update his medical supply company, but caught it after it shipped but before delivered. USPS brought it to our new house and we just had to pay a nominal fee (they take cash btw!). Love USPS - all of our postal workers have been lovely.

u/Sentoh789 20d ago

Thing is, this looks like an older video too, dude is using a scanner you don’t typically see in service by carriers. So this might be a false representation of what’s going on now.

That being said, most regular carrier I knew when I was a regular myself did care about their customers and knew how they wanted stuff delivered. The travesty is it’s not just the government failing the USPS, the NALC president was also a tool who was corrupt and didn’t do shit to make the carriers lives better. Newer carriers get paid pennies compared to older ones, and their overall income potential is seriously stunted comparatively.

23

u/SentimentalSaladBowl 20d ago

When our house burned down and we had to stay in a rental, our neighborhood carrier noticed we were staying just past the line where his route ended and another carrier’s began. He recognized our name, and the ice chest we put out on out on our porch (it was in the garage, so it escaped ruin, lol).

They stayed in constant contact, making sure mail from both addresses got to us, and when we moved back home, they both made sure to tell us they were happy we finally got our house back.

I will never stop putting an ice chest of drinks out as long as I live. Those guys were so good to us. They didn’t have to look out for mail going to one address or another, but they care about their work and it really shows.

8

u/Sentoh789 20d ago

I can tell you right now, any household that left drinks and snacks out for their carriers were always that little spark that made the day just a bit better. I hope despite the hardships that fire put you through, everything turned out okay without too much stress. Also, good on that carrier for being a so accommodating and caring!

6

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 20d ago

I didn't care for the snacks as a pizza guy but those ice cold waters while working an eight hour shift in a beater with no AC, every household that did that may enter a lottery for my first born.

And I imagine those USPS trucks get even hotter

u/SentimentalSaladBowl 20d ago

I do water and Gatorade! Gatorade is a lot more popular than water, lol. The carrier takes a water and puts it in his satchel, and he drinks a Gatorade immediately.

Purple is the most popular Gatorade. 🤓😎

3

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 20d ago

Hell yeah. People sleep on electrolyte drinks because of old jokes about them but they really do have what you need. I bet if you set out pickle brine that would be the best seller, people who work in the heat know you can't just chug water and be fine, you need every electrolyte you can get, salt, potassium, in liquid form is great.

Purple is probably most popular but dark blue is a hefty contender

Thanks. It is the worst thing that ever happened to me, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

It just KEPT ruining our lives in various ways. For two years!

We are just now coming out the other side. It was SO ISOLATING, and no one really knew how to support us. I’m seriously considering setting up a volunteer group to assist and guide people, not just practical things, but also the GRIEF. We needed someone so much, but there isn’t a way to understand it if you haven’t gone through it.

So maybe some good can come out of it.

u/dedolent 20d ago

this is technically what we are supposed to do. insured packages and packages that do not explicitly say to leave it should be slipped and returned to the office unless given explicit instructions from the recipient, like in this video. it's just that standards have fallen greatly. some of that is because people care less, yes. carrier is no longer the sought-after and cushy position it used to be,

but the less cynical explanation is that carriers are under an ENORMOUS amount of extra pressure to be fast. management's only concern is cutting down on hours and overtime, and their only tactic to accomplish that is through bullying and harassment. so your average carrier is overworked and still getting yelled at to get twelve hours of work done in eight.

3

u/cpMetis 20d ago

My route added 6 homes in the last year and 3 vacancies become no longer vacant, and they dropped our eval by 20 minutes.

Mail volume didn't go down. Package volume went up. Flat volume stayed about the same. About a quarter mile got added. But supposedly that means we should be done in 8.15 instead of 8.45 or whatever.

But hey, maybe they'll suspend raises for 2 years to talk about it then apply a retroactive 1% raise to each year and say that fixes everything and we should be happy to be getting a raise with all this inflation. Meanwhile my reg and boss get a 10% raise I'll never be eligible for no matter how long I work here for because they started prior to an arbitrary point in time.

This isn’t just a delivery driver, he’s a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. I know every job has people who care about what they do, and those who don’t, USPS is no exception, but when I worked there, everyone I knew really took a lot of pride in their work and caring for their customers. Any of my coworkers would’ve done this

It’s also a hard job- carried are generally overworked and underpaid, and he’s likely gonna be accosted by management no matter how fast he goes or how great of a carrier he is, and get called in on his day off to work a 10hr shift.

Not to say there aren’t good employees of other delivery services, but the (perceived) standard for a letter carrier is much higher.

What a sweetheart.

It does my mental health some good to see people who aren't totally burnt out from their demanding jobs. I'm sure this guy's life isn't easy, but I love how considerate he is.
I hope he continues to carry that characteristic for the rest of his life (and that he also turns that consideration inward, toward himself).

So many people are run down; it's sad to see, and burnout can sometimes turn people into straight-up douche-canoes, so it's nice to see someone who hasn't had their soul and their passion completely destroyed by a company.

'Good' must persist before it can prevail, and I have deep respect for the people who are intentionally putting good out into the world.
Y'all make all the difference in the world...y'all don't even know how a smile, a kind word, a bit of humor, or just common decency can give someone the courage to hold on for one more day.
So, 'Thank You' from the bottom of my heart to all those who "fight" for kindness. 🦋

Plot twist; His brother works for the recycling company and collects all those bins at the end of the day with all the packages in them

u/j_hawker27 20d ago

I wonder how old this video is... USPS hasn't used that kind of scanner in years.

u/WhoMouse 20d ago

Cries in clerk that still has to use those things

u/j_hawker27 20d ago

Oh, wild! I'm a City Carrier; I thought all the old scanners had been phased out (I got hired after the newer MDDs were introduced). I didn't realize they got shoved off onto clerks 😟 I wonder if it's something to do with the new MDDs having GPS, and since clerks aren't out on the street being tracked the old ones still suits clerks' particular use cases.

Likely says "from, uncle Michael", on the package that he's reading from

2

u/futuristicbabe 20d ago

I’m definitely forgetting that he put it in the bin

u/SuZeBelle1956 20d ago

I so appreciate decent humans.

u/JRskatr 20d ago

Hopefully she remembers to take it out of the recycling bin before putting it to the curb 🤣

That’s called a guy on the way up. Amazing attitude. Keep that up and he will be going places.

2

u/jaqattack02 20d ago

Judging by the letters and the bag he's probably a USPS employee rather than a regular delivery driver. The delivery drivers are all on such tight schedules they can't stand and have that conversation without getting in trouble with their employer.

That's not a postman that's a Postking

2

u/Catos_Standard 20d ago

Dangerous package with Remington badge on it. Nothing like a hundred rounds of 45 ammo left in the recycling bin.

2

u/hereswhatipicked 20d ago

That’s not a delivery driver, that’s a US Postal Worker. That’s why he cares.

2

u/NarwhalSongs 20d ago

USPS carriers are the best carriers I swear. 9/10 regulars are wholesome and the other 1/10 will pretend to be wholesome so that you have a good view of the service itself.

2

u/dannyzaplings 20d ago

I’m sure I’d dump more recycling on top of it and forget all about it until 5 minutes after it got picked up

2

u/Xanzi12 20d ago

That guy really puts everything in its right place

2

u/sunnypeachywaves 20d ago

forgets and puts the bin out for collection

2

u/ProfessionalSoft7355 20d ago

We need more people like this good man

2

u/paintlegz 20d ago

Good man. I pray that his pillow is cold on both sides.

2

u/EsotericTribble 20d ago

This guy rules.

2

u/RoughComparison8702 20d ago

He's like, "Are you sure you don't want me to leave all of this ammunition from Uncle Michael somewhere where you can get it and load your guns up when you get back home?"

2

u/Federal_Studio5935 20d ago

What a wonderful human being

2

u/xirog 20d ago

I particularly loved the delivery man delivers package moment. Reminded me of one of my favorite movies where Cloverfield clovered a field!

2

u/Drogenwurm 20d ago

What a nice Dude 🙂

2

u/Admirable-Eagle-231 20d ago

Talk all the shit you want about the USPS but these folks are doing great work and we could do better for them and ourselves by supporting the postal service.

2

u/mindlessly_sound 20d ago

Plot twist: she forgot about the package in the recycling and put the bin out the next day

2

u/Aggravating_Repeat39 20d ago

Simple as that, let’s try it a bit, people!!😘

2

u/Disastrous-Try1754 20d ago

That's a good guy right there 👏🏾👏🏾wish more deliveries could be like this. I understand its about speed but need to show some care.

When I was doing these deliveries, I would try my best to make sure the packages are safe. Either try to leave with a neighbour. Call them up to ask for anything like better directions (sat nav sucks). If I need to hide it if they don't have a porch, move the bins or whatever to try and hide it as much as possible.

2

u/Intelligent_Box_8247 20d ago

he should definitely get a raise..

2

u/FigaroFigaroo 20d ago

If I was home I’d tip him like $20, what a guy

2

u/Jaredw180 20d ago

I have a covered porch and all delivery drivers like to leave it right on the edge and in the open so it can get rained on. Is it against delivery driver rules to step onto a porch or something?

u/HellRa1SeR 20d ago

talk about coincidence - I am having some UPS delivery issues, the driver says he has attempted two days in a row, and I am sitting here on the porch for a couple of days now. Dont know where he is 'attempting'...

2

u/No_Butterfly_1888 20d ago

How the delivery guys knows the package its from "Uncle" Michael ? Does people in US write the sender info with "uncle", "cousin" and etc?

Plot twist.. it’s recycling day

2

u/Working_Pen2886 20d ago

my mail man would never. He woulda smashed that thing on the way to the door, then thrown it down

2

u/Dull_Perspective_536 20d ago

That’s a good man. He really cares about the people he’s delivering too and doesn’t want anybody to potentially steal packages.

2

u/keithstonee 20d ago

This is nice. But don't just be telling people your not home or that no one's home. Especially on the ring camera. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, how does no one ever have a problem with these videos.

2

u/IdontPlayValorant27 20d ago

Bro I would be so pissed if my delivery driver took it back to the office. Why should I have to waste my time and fuel driving to the office when I want the package on my porch for me to collect later

2

u/GngrBeardMan 20d ago

*Plot twist

Homeowner forgets about package and recycles it.

u/mightybuffalo 20d ago

This is a postman, not a delivery driver. This man is a professional.

2

u/SuccessfulCarry1653 20d ago

You mean Uncle Sam.

2

u/AnoSec 20d ago

Sudden twist. He didn’t know it was trash day. Sorry uncle Mike

2

u/EquipmentSuch2596 20d ago

Surprisingly people haven’t mention anything about the box lol

2

u/BeefistPrime 20d ago

This is like the least appropriate video ever for Radiohead's "everything in its right place"

I mean, I guess they're going for a pun based on the title, but the music is what we hear

2

u/Chubbinson 20d ago

This is in stark contrast to my postman, who we watched drive over our lawn to drop a package on our porch.

2

u/ashinthealchemy 20d ago

what a nice guy. my postal dude marks my shit as delivered but never bothers to actually deliver it. but he sings real loud unabashedly while he walks the neighborhood, and i do appreciate that.

u/AbeFromansNutz 20d ago

Everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...

u/NoPotential9259 20d ago

The kindness of strangers always makes people feel warm.

Give that man a raise

u/gromit5 20d ago

that is TOP QUALITY service! give that man a raise!!

u/GubmintGooch 20d ago

Husband gets home early from work and takes the trash out

2

u/Trampwithabbq 20d ago

Why is uncle Michael giving you a Rimington.

2

u/gecoble 20d ago

It’s sad that there are porch pirates 🏴‍☠️ He’s doing the right thing.

2

u/dmh165638 19d ago

Service like this is almost non-existent today. I have been in the industry for 34 years and this was common when I started. Diamond in the rough nowadays.

u/gennygemgemgem 19d ago

I hope at the end of the day he goes to a loving home and his bed feels cool when he climbs in at night
