We too used to have workers at our local post office who really went the extra miles to take care of a chick delivery - no more. My son got into a dust up only a couple of weeks ago. Expecting a call from the post office that never came, he phoned the post office to see if the chicks had arrived - the postal worker said yes - my son drove over (about 10 minutes away) to find the box of chicks sitting out on the loading dock in the cold (who knows for how long.). In an absolute fit he grabbed the box - got it into the car with the heater on - got home, opened the box and realized the chicks weren't his!
Took them back to the post office - left them in the car with the heater blasting away - and went in and told the postal guy to call the real recipient and he would wait in his car with the chicks for her to come and get them. The postal worker went ballistic and told my son the chicks were Federal Postal Property and must immediatly be brought back into the post office - which my son absolutely refused to do.
We've always had the best postal people at our local post office who used to call the second the chicks arrived and even went as far as putting the boxes of chicks under lamps on their desk to keep them warm. This last incident was a big disappointment and my son wrote a letter to the post master about it, so perhaps we'll see an improvement. Janet - Healdsburg CA
