Let me tell you something, people need to stop harassing workers at post offices - you need to understand things are backed up, the work has tripled and the staff has lowered, they are doing the best while exposing themselves to not just COVID but also your bad attitude https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😤" title="Face with look of triumph" aria-label="Emoji: Face with look of triumph">

The family that runs the Canada Posts office near my house are súper profesional I have been going to the same spot for the last 6 years, I had to tell some young girl to back off because she was being extremely demeaning to the ONE person doing today’s shift @canadapostcorp

There are giant boxes and packages waiting for people to pick them up. This girl got a NOTICE on the door, that she received TODAY, and she went to claim her package without being aware that when you get a notice one then has to wait at least a day until the package is at post...

She started to huff and puff, and do what a call “the Canadian shake” when they are confused about something and instead of asking how the system works start shaking and almost crying because things aren’t going “their way” - anyways I felt so bad for the man working today who

Calmly explained to her how the procedure works and that she expect it tomorrow, she kept rolling her eyes at him and squinting at him, arms crossed because “she couldn’t understand” - his muffled voice through a mask, plexiglass but she I assume attributed to his thick accent

I said to myself “what would Larry David do?” And then I said to myself, wait, what would I DO? And then I said, fuck this, what am I about to do NOW?

I told her to back off

I told her to read the room

I told her she isn’t the only one waiting for a package in the mail

She clutched her pearls, open her mouth wide open and...left...because she knew she just made a fool of herself

The @canadapostcorp worker thanked me profusely, let me know about this new discount I am eligible for, hooked me up and continue to serve the people wait f in line

These are the ESSENTIAL workers that now more than ever we are to show nothing but respect and patience - and when you see someone out of line disrespecting any worker who is making sure you have mail, food, trash taken care off etc, you need to SPEAK UP ON THEIR BEHALF!

Continued to serve people waiting in line**
