13 Things Your Mail Carrier Won’t Tell You
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/...l-you-2445111/
Quote:
This is true. The post office is one of the (if not the only) government agencies that is 100% self-sufficient. They do not get tax dollars or money from the government. Whenever postage goes up, it's typically because the cost of technology used, gas, cost of benefits, or wages have gone up. Anyway, I just thought I would share this. I know my dad has told me several of these, but I didn't know if everyone was aware. |

And UPS could have taken over USPS mail delivery and stamps would be cheaper today.

Dad had a local politician on one of his old routes. He stood there as his dog bit my dad. When my dad said something, he said his dog doesn't bite.
Went to dinner with dad and a coworker of his the other night. His coworker has been bitten three times. Can't remember how many times dad said he has over the course of over 25 years. |

Oh, and the reason they don't tell you #13 is because, whenever they case their routes, they put their mail in a specific order (by how they deliver it). Whenever people stop to ask them, it takes time to look through it to find that person's specific mail. And they do have times they need to be back. If people call in, or they're understaffed for some reason, then they'll take a route and divide amongst a few carriers to get it delivered. So, if your mail is ever "late" that is probably why. Or if they just have someone else delivering that route for the day, then that carrier could do it in a different order than your normal carrier, which would affect delivery times.

Mailmen get paid great and receive great benefits to stuff letters in a box for a company that is inefficient and nearly obsolete. I wish I could be a full time mail carrier, those guys got it made.
