If you haven't Noticed the USPS is getting cozy with the spanish language.
I never go there, mostly because I don't send many packages or letters, but had to pick up a certified letter the other day. I drive down and notice the same banner on the front of the building telling people in Spanish to send money to Mexico with the USPS.
Then once I get inside I see a newer banner which says the same thing. I look around, not one single banner in english or advertising anything besides sending money to Mexico.
I asked the African-American women at the counter what the banners were all about and she said "Its for those type of people that need to send money to Mexico" and I asked her "what about Canadians?" She just looked at me funny.
So I grabbed one of those lil brochures that says I can tell the USPS exactly what I think by calling. I call the number and of course it's an automated system with nothing on it about talking to an operator. So i fumble around for about for a few minutes until the system finally gets me to a "Customer Service Professional".
It was then I reached a guy, sry name I didnt catch. A little peeved I told him exactly what I wanted to tell the USPS, that I dont appreciate one arm of the US Government aiding and abetting illegal aliens while another fights them off.
The young man then told me, a little angry at me, that it was to protect Mexicans money. I decided to play a little game and told the guy that I was born in Mexico but a Naturalized US Citizen and that I thought it was a bunch of crap. I asked him where the banners in Farci, French, and Swahili were. I then repeated that I do not think that illegal aliens need help sending their $20 billion to Mexico.
The representative then told me, very angry, that Mexico is our largest trading partner buying $300 million worth of goods every year from us.
Of course I pointed out that that equals a trade deficit less than 1/20th of what we send to them comes back in trade and that is not a very good deal. I then told him that I think the USPS needs to discontinue this practice and start focusing on good hardworking English speaking Americans.
The customer service rep then told me "Im sorry you're prejudice". To which I replied "What? did you not hear me say I was born in Mexico?".
Then he told that I was not a real hispanic and called me a piece of racist white trash and hung up.
I called in to talk to his supervisor and explained what had happened. Instead of telling me he was in the wrong and that this problem would be dealt with she told me she would take my complaint.
She also then told me that Taxpayers do not pay the USPS salary but people who buys stamps, and if they can sell those stamps to people sending money out of the country then they will.
