The U.S. Postal Service has ordered a letter carrier to stop wearing a Santa Claus outfit after a co-worker complained.
The U.S. Postal Service has ordered a letter carrier to stop wearing a Santa Claus outfit after a co-worker complained.
Bob McLean has been dressing up as Santa for the past decade, donning a red suit to deliver the mail along his route in Bellevue, WA. He even has a snow white beard – that’s real.
“The government is shutting me down because it’s a non-postal regulation uniform, McLean told the Bellevue Reporter. “This was the first time; I don’t know what happened. I don’t step on anyone’s toes. Being Santa isn’t religious to me; it’s secular. It’s about giving.”
But the U.S. Postal Service said it’s about looking like a letter carrier.

You'd think USPS would be too busy trying to turn their despicable performance around to try to impose stupid restrictions on employees that are trying to make the job and miserable organization a little more tolerable.
If I were him I'd get a post office issue skirt and blouse issued to me!
Perhaps, the Postal Service should order "Clown" uniforms, not especially for the carriers but for those clowns who are suppose to be running this outfit.
Rural carriers aren't issued any uniform. They also drive non Government vehicles from the wrong side of car.
Obviously, they don't look like letter carriers should either.
