[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 6315933, member: 105098"]it's sitting with my bills apparently. I talk to my postal carriers, they all have mail out on their delivery trucks that doesn't even belong to this state, not freshly collected, but put on their trucks so they can return it at the end of the day to the post office to then be made to disappear again and again until it finally gets to where it's going by pure dumb luck or someone finally doing the job right. No over time, no extra trips to deliver mail either, meaning if they missed a mail box because it's out of order and a house in the middle of the block was at the end of the pile, they either stick it in someones mail box and it gets delayed in returns, or they return it to the post office and it gets delayed to be resorted and another delivery attempt made. anything that doesn't belong on their truck route needs to be returned to the post office on their own time after the shift ends. Which they do, but it just gets reloaded back on their truck again the next day because everyone's not going the extra mile and following the "no extra time" rules. I'm in florida, my postal carrier showed me a bundle of mail that supposed to go to New York and they keep sticking it on her truck for her delivery route day after day. The truth is, if it got hung up in a warehouse it's going to be there a long time they would need to hire additional workers to clear backlogs, the regular workers are handling the current operations. But the practice is to keep it moving, even if it's moving in the wrong direction because at least it's not backing up and has a shot at being delivered to the correct recipient.[/QUOTE]
