So without going into a great deal of detail I talked with the postmaster in South Lincoln and he explained in detail the problems they are having.
Basically there is a real shortage of help so they have to close for lunch and they are also having a hard time hiring. If you want to know the details about why he can’t post the hours the postmaster said anyone should feel free to contact him and he will explain the problem.

Signs saying “we are hiring” are up in post offices all around the area. We are a very small unit and lucky to have ANY service. Perhaps our leadership could outreach to Rep. Clark’s office to see what we can do to support USPS? As you probably know, there is an appointee from the last administration whose mission was to dismantle the USPS. We need to make sure that Congress understands we support a well-funded and well-staffed USPS. We really depend on them. ------ Sara Mattes On Jun 9, 2022, at 12:07 PM, Margo Fisher-Martin <margo.fisher.mar...@gmail.com <mailto:margo.fisher.mar...@gmail.com> > wrote: I agree. I’ve been there several times and it’s been closed for an hour. It’s very frustrating because there are no notifications until you get there and then there’s a note on the door. I understand that everyone needs breaks, and to eat lunch, but honestly It should be posted somewhere when they are closing for an hour and a lot of people have only free time during the lunch hour to run to the post office.

Why are they not posting their hours? It is such a waste of time and resources to drive over there during business hours , only to find the door locked. Carol Ryan -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
