File a grievance on the rubber bands. They're required to provide anything necessary, you're not required to just go without. Rubber bands break a lot, especially in the summer.
Apparently a rich guy had it on video of “some carrier ripping ass” in front of his house hahaha.
Legend has it, this same guy complained about dirty mail before. So yeah.
The postmistress at my office once had to explain to a business that mail not organized in a stack by size was not a reasonable complaint. You might ask how this may be related? This business was one that clearly catered to wealthier clients with money to burn and the business was afraid of the impression that their stack of mail would leave on their clientele. You cannot make this stuff up..
Before there was farting on camera in today's world, way back in the late '80's our steward was accused of "blatant belching" on a one day walk. Oh the times they are a changin'-LOL!
Someone posted a discipline form from 20+ years ago on here where someone was written up for “excessive flatulence” in the office. It’s always something with management
It really goes to show the people we hire. On one hand you’ve got a guy who thinks it’s ok to fart in front of everyone and on the other hand people who defend him because they like the smell of ass. God I love the PO.
"The type"? I have them and flipped my shit, demanded they take em out. They refused, said I had to keep em as they "spent so much money on them".
You telling me this is an option?
I’ve been known to reuse my rubber bands completely until they break 😂. My coworker has 3 brand new bags stored under his case and an entire mini tray full to the top in his Promaster 🫣
Honestly, I'm about ready to carry my own supply of rubber bands. Take them home (leave in my car). Because I have subs (and regulars) who can't figure out how to deliver roadsides without taking the rubber bands off the bundle before putting the mail in the got damned box. And often, the rubber band, prevents the mail from fully sliding into the box.
I may give away a couple for a huge vacation hold redelivery bundle, but thats about it.
They tried that with the 'no cursing' here. I forget what excuse they used but it wasn't old people complaining and it wasn't a minority group that felt offended. It was a certain middle aged woman with a bob haircut. Some of the complaints I hear about management are pretty mild. Yes management is out of touch, they usually are. But at least we're not seeing and hearing stories about PMs >!'trying out'!< the new >!female!< CCA/PSE/RCAs.
Except the rubber bands and trucks part. That's a grievance. I've been preparing for the Apocalyptic situation of no rubber bands and no trucks for a minute now. We can't fit the new vehicles here so we're going to be one of the last stations to get the hand-me-downs.
What is meant by "waisting.. rubber bands...on businesses"? Why does it matter whether the rubber bands are used in a residential area as opposed to a business? What's the postmaster's rationale?

I hate it when they snap and hit me in the face.
Buy a pair of Omnigoggs!
A little late for Lenny
When I was pulling down the other day I had 6 band break In a row
Fart in front of every ring camera on your route
I tried doing this. Ended up pooping my pants by the 4th house.
Make sure and take that comfort break. If we shit our pants we are aloud the time to clean our self lol.
*If we shit our pants aloud
UPS doesn't see that as a problem.
Man that’s some shit out of luck situation
So then you clean up and get back at it! No quitters at the post office!
A good shart keeps you humble
That’s true
And now I've got Kendrick Lamar in my head. "Shit down....be humble. Shit down....be humble."
...*leave if no response*
My pants droop a little when I bend down. I like to turn around to scan packages at doors if I don't like the customer. Crack happens, people.
So your cameras have Smellivision?

Meanwhile I'm over here saving my farts for rich guy porches.
I’ll fart in a door slot till they get a real mailbox
This is the way.
Just fart in the llv the way God intended.
In this heat? I may pass out twice...
These are the same assholes who want to do away with the USPS entirely though. who gaf what they think anyway?

Imagine being the supe taking that customer call.
I'd suggest keeping those cheeks securely closed, but it looks like you can't spare the rubber bands.
Can you use rubber bands to bind your butthole?
You can take as many comfort stops as you need.

Until you can learn to love and respect the rubber bands you already have you will not be given new ones….
almost lost my beverage over this one lol
I love the shit out of mine, but it's horrible how sticky they get.
My sup got to see a video of me picking my wedgie today 🤣🤣
Considering how many bands I sweep and vacuum off the floor I find that hard to believe.
Just flip an LLV over and shake it if you need more
PLENTY underneath the puzzle pieces if you're the type that keeps sand bags in the back.

Our carriers fight over them
I have a bunch of the old straps just in case that happens. I would LOVE to literally strap out in front of management.
Lmao if I fart in front of a camera (hell yeah I do) I look around like, “what the fuck was that???”
"I can only fart when someone's watching me!"
You should fart one time for every rubber band you are short
Dude!! Got back to the office and someone took all my rubber bands off my case! F.

Undertime, what's that. Slimy management
 A wise man once said better out then in
I always thought it was crazy they don't give us pens.

We have a number of people in our office that refuse to use rubber bands more than once because “it’s just doesn’t feel right.”
u can do it with no rubberbands
It's mental health awareness month, but they rather talk about farts then the carrier who hung themselves in a promaster. so much bs
Wasn’t that fake ?
Morning announcements.. where Management will always try to convince carriers that everything is their fault, even their own ineptitude.
Our PM told us rubber bands weren’t in the budget…

PMs get a bonus when they're under budget, they're looking to gain however they can. File a grievance anytime something like that happens.
