And the people at the PO, except for one black power loony I had to deal with in a southern city, always really try hard to make sure your mail gets there.

i mean, where else can you go, plunk down half a buck, and have a reasonable expectation that an envelope will be delivered anywhere in the country within a couple of days.

I remember back in the 80's during the Christmas season a Temporary Appointment 90 day wonder was sorting bundles of letter mail into priority sacks.

The full timer working with him, noticed the zip on the top piece of a bundle he threw into a sack. It was the wrong sack. The full timer brought it to the temps attention. The Temp informed him that he could not read numbers, so was just throwing bundles into the sacks to equalize the level in the sacks.

The temp was removed from the area, and discharged by the tour sup.

The temp of course tried to play the race card, but being a temp outweighed his race card. He was gone.

If he'd been a full time regular, the race card would have worked and probably he'd have become a postmaster somewhere.
