I worked for 12 years as a mailman, to scan, which also means inspect every package and letter, I should have said backed up for months.Be nice to your mail-person you have no idea how tough management is on the carriers, there were times we were watched and timed, they would caculate your stride, you had to walk at a min. pace, to stop and chat for a minute with customers that you would know for many years was a no no . There were some perks (guys) you would be amazed how some housewives would like to greet there mailman
