After learning from one of your previous posts that this could be done, I asked supervisor for new barcode to be printed to replace an illegible one. Instead, supervisor looked up tracking number on computer, hand wrote it on parcel, and said I had to manually enter it. I told her there is a way to print new barcode. She looked at me as if I were the most entitled pita, and condescendingly told me she had taken the time to write the numbers on the parcel for me, and that I had to hand type them in.

The real story is I think she’s in over her head and doesn’t know how to print them. Rather than admit that and offer to find out, she chose to belittle me. About par for the course at the P.O. these days.
Most of the parcels that I have to enter by hand or smooth out to be able to scan did not receive AAU scan from pass machine. Our clerks never have time to enter by hand either. I can tell this while using Load Truck feature. It doesn’t recognize tracking numbers that didn’t get AAU scan. I always wonder whether I am getting credit for delivery scan since parcel isn’t listed for my route.
