I think it's ridiculous for your carrier not to secure your building. There is no excuse that I can dream up. If the key keeper was not working correctly it should've been fixed. . I dunno, this just seems like laziness.<br /><br />What should you do? Obviously call and complain. And call and call and get your neighbors to call. You can complain online too. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Do not think that you can get a unionized employee FIRED for not locking a key up. Not unless the employee has a well-documented lonnnnnnng list of other petty discipline. I've made a mistake or two in my eleven years at the post office, but I'm human. I don't cut corners though and hate to hear your story. Your carrier might have some (crappy) excuse to tell their supervisor/postmaster, but more likely you will have your problem solved. If not, call again and again and again. That supervisor doesn't want to have more paperwork, that is their incentive to fix this problem. Every time you have a legitimate complaint, they have to document that the problem was addressed.<br /><br />In the meantime, get that mailslot sealed up!! Do not give them a way out. Have your landlord drill screws into the slot and make a little label that says "Mailboxes are inside" or some such to stick right on that slot. Hey, maybe you got a new letter carrier that doesn't even know that that key was ever used! That certainly happens. Be prepared to not get any mail though, if you seal up the slot and don't get the Post Office a new key.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-30606164382452109592006-12-05T16:49:00.000-06:002006-12-05T16:49:00.000-06:00Too bad you can't *69 Denise and give her what she...Too bad you can't *69 Denise and give her what she dished you.Liz Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-38021371185482995902006-12-04T16:08:00.000-06:002006-12-04T16:08:00.000-06:00Kate: you are brash but correct.

I don't know why they set it up like they did. Seems like they also could have put the boxes outside of our lobby, and then <i>nobody</i> would have had to get a key to the front door. I think they used the master postal key or something, so maybe it was something the letter carrier already had. The box was there for a couple of days before someone installed the lock in the first place.<br /><br />The rent's cheap, though. That counts for something.The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-37608418535680796902006-12-02T10:34:00.000-06:002006-12-02T10:34:00.000-06:00I work in Property Management and I'm appalled by ...I work in Property Management and I'm appalled by your mail situation. You should say something to your landlord - if they care at all they'll replace the front door lock and contact the post office. <br />What I don't understand is this - why did the mail carrier have to open a box to get out a key each day? They should just have the key - that way there is only one person who is responsible for it and has access to it. Giving someone a key to pick up another key on a daily basis is just plain silly.SDCC 2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/05305078421968366506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-68317273750528466982006-12-02T09:45:00.000-06:002006-12-02T09:45:00.000-06:00Moon,

No one wants to sift through tons of other people's mail just to find their own. Besides, these other people could steal your mail! <br />Get it sorted, dude!
