USPS employee refusing service? [View all]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/tell-me-youre-in-maga-country-without-telling-me-usps-worker-refuses-service-to-woman-submitting-absentee-ballot/ar-AA13DcYe?pc=U483&cvid=5152cf11bab24401ad5f1c5f6f4271ca

‘Tell me youre in maga country without telling me’: USPS worker refuses service to woman submitting absentee ballot

A woman says a Smokey Point, Wash. USPS worker refused to take her mail-in ballot, claiming he said he could "refuse service to anyone" in a now-viral TikTok. She believes that this was an attempt at "voter interference."

In the video posted by TikToker Jenn Marie (@_jenn_marie_) on Oct. 25, she stands outside of the USPS branch and shows the pre-paid mail-in ballot envelope that was rejected at the counter.

"Tell me you live in MAGA country, without telling me you live in MAGA country," she says in the clip. "I am actually a resident of the state of Pennsylvania because my wife is in the Navy. So I have to vote absentee."

She continues to state that the worker said he "has the right to refuse service to anyone, so you're going to have to take that somewhere else" when she tried to submit her mail-in ballot.

The caption reads, "Sir, I will literally buy a plane ticket to PA before you stifle my vote."

********************************

Apparently, some of the replies suggested she contact the Postmaster General to file a complaint. LOL

Obviously, the employee must be fired immediately.
