A competitor to the US Postal Service that isn't run by the government is Fed Ex. To the people who shit on the regular post office I would ask, "have you been to a Fed Ex location lately?"
Cause I got a notice on my door that there was a package I needed to sign for. Then the next day I got a second notice. Since I have a job, it wasn't looking good for that signature to happen. So after work I hauled my ass down to Fed Ex, which has a lot less locations than the Post Office, with seemingly all of them being in the hood.
I go in there and I'm immediately met by a crowd of people. It wasn't a line, it was just people waiting. Oh boy. But there was also a line. And this is the system that they had in place:
Two people worked the front desk. They would take people's door tags. After they had 10 or so, then both of them would leave their post, go into the back, and hunt down the packages.
Meanwhile, the line of people with door tags to give them would grow. I spent 45 minutes there, just to pick up an envelope. Here was the scene:
And there were more people behind me, and to the left, and to the right. I love how angry everyone looks in this picture though.
In summation, Fed Ex sucks.
