Rural post office with no plumbing and a porta potty out back?

Posted on by 21cpw User Post

rural_po_porta-pottyMost of the offices I represent are small rural 2, 4 and 6 hour offices with several L18’s.

I have an office that has a porta potty out back that anyone going by uses. And no running water in the building. Does anyone have anything remotely close to that? I have a hard time believing either scenario is appropriate. Thanks for any input.

    “Funny this came up now. I was at the Ochopee PO today. It is the smallest PO in the country – about the size of a small garden shed. It has no plumbing or facilities, and the clerk must close down and drive to another office to use the restroom. Note the sign above the hours.”

    Sounds like one of those new village post offices and I’m guessing with the continued cuts porta-poops could be the trend. Otherwise, your scenario is outlandish…and in MN ?

    Hell no! Definitely a health and safety grievance. No hand washing available?
