Something I ran across:
"Nothing reduces the morale of an efficient post office more than a Mystery Shopper coming in with a pre-determined intention to fail another post office just so that they can justify their own phony-baloney job. I don't think it matters how well we do at the front counter. The Mystery Shopper is going to either pass us or fail us as they have intermittently scheduled for themselves to do because this is how they manage and maintain their quotas against us as they try to prove to all our superiors that they may actually serve a needed purpose. This helps keep them from having a real job like the rest of us."

That poor USPS person. They might run back as fast as they can if they were out here in the wild without their pay and benefits package, in some of those "real jobs" like the rest of US have, in at-will employment realms.
Or maybe they would feel more comfortable flying on the same plane as some of those hazmat packages that should have been declined.
That said, I also would rather find a post office that is hitting all the marks. Those standards don't seem to be too much to ask, compared to some of the customer service "items" seen out here in Retail Land.
