You're supposed to open at 9. It's already 9:15 and a whole line of us are waiting out here. We have places to be too. Making us wait is disrespectful.

Today (03/28/2026) I want to share a heartfelt thank you to an incredible postal worker, Mr. Rick Garcia, the relief supervisor filling in at the 111 Alvarado Dr SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108 station.
In a time when my mail was nearly lost, Mr. Rick went above and beyond—taking the extra time, care, and effort to make sure it found its way back to me. What could have easily been dismissed as “not my problem” became a moment of true dedication and kindness.
It’s people like Mr. Rick who remind us what real service and integrity look like. The kind of person who doesn’t just do the job—but does it with pride, compassion, and a genuine commitment to helping others.That kind of work ethic—that kind of heart—is rare. And it matters more than ever.
Mr. Rick, you didn’t just deliver mail… you delivered peace of mind, trust, and a reminder that good people are still out here making a difference every single day.
We need more people like this in our society.
Thank you, Mr. Rick Garcia, for your hard work, your perseverance, and for making a difference in a way that truly matters. It did not go unnoticed.

Pretty sure the delivery person has been stealing my free samples as there are MANY packages of mine that have simply never arrived.
Also, my personal letters from my mother that have TYPED address have been returned to sender even though I've been living at my current residence for almost 2 years.
This postal service is a JOKE

2/3 of my mail gets lost here & then returned to sender. Expect to spend a good hour in line.
