UPDATE: So, I had a positive experience after digging into it a little further. I was able to locate a public phone number for our West Seattle Post Office (206-923-0485) which goes directly in-house and to the supervisor for the mail carriers, Robert. I’ve actually met Robert in the past, so I do know he is who he says he is. I called and spoke with him, and he was able to verify for me that indeed, if the package will not fit in your box slot, then it should be carried to the front door. He apologized,saying that this definitely should never have happened, verified that it was not our usual carrier, and claimed he would speak with the employee as soon as they arrived for their shift. We’ll see if it makes a difference…

In the mean time, I would encourage anyone who’s dealing with this same issue to call Robert and let him know it’s happened at your home. He was very polite and genuine to deal with; and this is in no way wanting to get a carrier in hot water – but if you’re bound to a particular rule at work, follow it! Package thefts are only going to escalate through the end of the year, so why not do our best to try and improve the situation? I think it’s worth a shot…

a good question.. i suspect fear has overcome our common sense and decency

[cheeseWS777]

Last week some of you may have heard about the auto collison under west seattle bridge about 330 am. A man in his van had spun out of contol and was pretty badly injured. My friend and i wrre the first ones to notice this van. To give u an idea the metal gard rail went up through the grill of his van all the way up under the steering wheel. Neither my friebd or i had a cell phone on us and at 330am there isnt many places open. So in a panic i try to wave down some of the passing cars thininking someone will see the horrible accident next to me and stop to help but no… Not one person even slowed down. So after about 3 or 4 mins of doing that i notice some flashing yellow lights over by the on ramp so i run over thinking i can for sure get some help from these guys( 2 Seattle public utilities workers) as i run over and very quickly explain that i need them to call 911 about an accident with a man being hurt. The two just kinda look at me and say they dont see any accident and refused to cross the road so they would be able to. Then start to question me about why i cant give an adress and without one they cant help me.

At last i finallly found soneone to call it in as they drove by. 20 mins after the accident had happened. My question is is a city worker allowed to refuse to call 911 if some one asks? And if you saw a young woman waving saying help next to a vheical that is obviously in an accident wouldnt you stop and atleast ask if shes ok?
What is this world coming too???!!!

I’m also just now researching health insurance for 2018 and sympathize with how much its costing those of us who don’t have it through our jobs. I’ve been happy for several years with “Pro Benefits of Washington” @425-643-3350. Check out their well deserved, 5 star reviews! I’ve always worked with Samantha Hensley, but Iman is now managing individual insurance. I’ve loved Samantha, but so far, Iman seems ok. I’ll probably stay w/Kaiser Bronze plan.($$$). Sigh. Good luck!

I won’t place orders for merchandise delivered by the USPS for this very reason. They will drop packages on the ground by the mailbox out on the street, in the rain and where they can easily be picked up by anyone passing. On one occasion I found a package that had been thrown over the fence, crushing some plants. Complaining is futile. A few years ago, after getting no answer (or a stupid one) from the Westwood P.O., I began going up the ladder with USPS. After six months of multiple transfers and no answers (to a very simple question, I might add) I was told to contact my local PO.

Usually you don’t have these problems with your regular carrier. Most packages are delivered by a separate branch of the PO, so the carrier is probably not the problem. I feel your frustration. I think Patty Murray’s office handles postal issues; going through the PO will get you nowhere.

Found out last night (after riding the bus down to Alki specifically to go to Spud) that Spud is closed for renovations and remodeling until mid-November. According to their Facebook page they are shooting for re-opening on November 13th, and closed on October 16th. If there was anything about it here on WSB I missed it, so here’s another notice about it.
Sunfish is still open, however (except for Mondays and Tuesdays) and takes credit and debit cards now- the last time I ate there years ago they were cash only. Good food at Sunfish as well with tasty scallops and fish, although the fries weren’t quite as good as at Spud.

lallen, I have to agree with not-so-dumb, above. Your last paragraph was brilliant. “Pampering” involves an activity that creates comfort, reassurance, and stability. An IRA will help to accomplish that – a manicure will not.

[jissy]

blades: I’m curious, was it the same cashier both times? I agree with anonyme… bizarre but I’m wondering if it’s not some rogue employee who’s found an easy passive stream of income and nothing to do with how MM has asked cashier’s to respond. Easy to reconcile the till if it just goes in their pocket instead of yours.

I too always want my change although my husband can’t be bothered with it like lallen — he hates it jingling in his pocket and always hands it over to me to “hold”. And I do, happily… put it in my change jar to fill my kids’ piggy banks that then go into their savings accounts.

[JoB]

lallen..
i too grew up with a depression era parent who was penny foolish in many of her choices.. and as a result i grew up to be the woman who could survive a natural disaster with her well stocked pantry.. restocked by sales at the market i visit that day for other purchases… i literally don’t leave the store without checking the sales and the managers close out bin.
I get it.

i also get that change adds up.. which is why i contribute to change jars by cash registers whether they are charity driven or not… but.. that change hits my palm first.. because I think it should.

i wish more stores had jars or cups or whatever next to their tills because what i carry home from those that don’t weighs heavily on my shoulders.. and quickly accumulates in the change jar..

we are doing well financially right now… but i have never forgotten the times when that change jar was literally the difference between eating.. and not. When it’s full it serves that purpose.. for someone else.. and i start over.

i think i have found a balance between my parent’s foolishness and gifting the local merchant with additional and unexpected profit… but it is my balance.

if yours works for you.. it works for you.
