Refusal to serve me after supervisor request

Hey guys today, I had a very bad altercation at a local post office while trying to obtain a new passport for my newborn daughter . Arrived there on time, but there was a long line I had checked in with a lady that was sitting behind some kind of desk/office ,but there was only one clerk working. By the time I got to the clerk, it was 15 minutes after my appointment. She told me that I had missed my appointment. I explained to her that I had checked in earlier, but because she was so busy I decided to wait in line respectfully. After that, she got very disrespectful and told me that I was a liar and asked me to leave or she will call the police . As you guys can imagine it was very embarrassing and very disrespectful and draining. I felt belittled and disrespected. I decided to not leave and I stepped a little bit to the side and asked to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor took about 10 minutes to come out and when he did come out, he was very respectful and listen to my side of the story and went and confirmed with the first lady that I had checked in with that I did actually check in and I did the right thing . He apologized and told me to wait just a little bit while he went over and spoke to the employee to tell her that she needs to serve me because I did not do anything wrong. However, she firmly refused and told her Supervisor no I will not serve him. He can wait till 4 PM to the other employee gets in and she can serve him. To cut it short I’m basically reaching out here to see what kind of action I can take in this situation. I have already filed a complaint to the USPS website however I don’t know if I will get much of a response or if they will escalate the situation.

Packages Returned/Refused?

Hi yall. I live at an apartment complex. My packages are arriving and then being “refused,” then returned to sender. Multiple times now.

I don’t even know what they mean by “refused,” since I was not home… I guess that’s what it’s referring to? But it wasn’t a “signature required” package. Why didn’t they leave it at the door? I’m pretty sure it went to the mail box though, not the door. So how was it refused by my mail box..

I used to just get a card in the mail box or at the door, stating that it wouldn’t fit or no one was home or whatever, and that they’d take it back to the mail office for me to pickup instead.

Why is it now, just straight up returning to sender instead of being held at the post? What can I do to address this? I’m out the money I spent on shipping fees and am frustrated because some of the packages took long to get here.

My package was small, envelope sized, and would fit in the box, by the way.

The sites don’t tell you if it’ll be held or returned or whatever. So I don’t quite know how to go about addressing this. Call the post office and ask?

I have also, three times now, opened my mail box to see a “vacant; new resident put name” card in it, even though I check at least once or twice a month when I’m not expecting anything. Why check more often when it’s just a bunk of junk mail to recycle? Is that not often enough, hence why the post man keeps just tossing a vacant card in there? The apartment office says they have nothing to do with it.

I’m not savvy when it comes to mail. Any help is appreciated. I know the nature of reddit though so roast me at your will and call me whatever names makes you giggle to yourself.

What is even the point of paying the extra money for priority express anymore?

Everytime I’ve decided to pay for it over ground advantage with a vendor I shop with frequently, it takes exactly just as long, if not longer than ground advantage. Currently have a package shipped out on Tuesday that won’t even arrive until “Saturday” (in reality Monday).

ISC/NY

Has anyone had something stuck at ISC/NY for awhile & you hadn't received it nor got that dreaded seizure letter? What's the odds of still getting your packages? I know about the 45 days and I know they're a separate entity but when usps stops tracking, do you still get your package? I guess maybe it's a good sign that I haven't received anything!
