Wellesley postal workers on the job despite COVID-19

by

Wellesley Square postal workers are on the job, making sure that home delivery service throughout town remains in place despite COVID-19 concerns. I stopped into the 1 Grove Street office to check on the status of Swellesley’s P.O. box and was greeted with a number of safety measures. All interior doors are propped open so that customers and workers do not need to touch handles; blue tape on the floor marks out 6-foot distances between customers and front-desk employees; and the flower boxes out front maintained by the Wellesley Gardeners’ Guild remain empty for now so that volunteers do not have to perform watering and dead-heading duties.

Wayne was working front desk  duty when I stopped by. “I brought the flowers in and put up the sign,” he said, which says ‘Just my way to brighten your day and encourage you to stay positive! — Wayne.’

The camera angle is deceiving — from left, Wayne, Mark, and Charlie are keeping a 6-foot distance between them. Shout-out to Mark, who delivers to the Swellesley home.

Manager Brian is work-ready from his tie down to his perfectly polished shoes. Remember the days when you’d get up, get dressed, and head out into the world looking sharp? It seems so long ago…

    I really appreciate the positive attitude and great service this team always gives our town. To maintain it as they have been doing is above and beyond.

    That is great but they do need PPE to protect themselves. They will eventually get sick if not protected. Can Swellesley encourage donations of masks and gloves to the postal workers please?

    Just a minor correction: I bought the flowers in for my customers for, as my sign reads:
    “Just my way to brighten your day and encourage you to stay positive.”
