If you are running a data storage business make sure your clients are not dangerous.

If you are running a POSTAL DELIVERY business make sure your clients are not dangerous.

So, how'd that work out for ya?

Hmm, well, other than having to audit mailing records submitted by people controlled by the Mafia, or reviewing applications from the Ku Klux Klan not all that bad.

One of my good deeds was to make sure that boxes of Kotex lost in the mail, or refused at delivery were quickly rerouted to charities that serve women's prisons. Not everybody is prepared to deal with that question ~ probably why I got asked about it.

USPS customarily bends over backwards to avoid offending or angering customers ~ I gave that up when I retired. Customers are all retards who want a government subsidy and no competition.

Worst customer I ever encountered was this jerk in Oregon who bred fighting chickens and would send them to South Carolina to fight operators. You could use Express Mail to do that back then. If his agent found that the chicken was sick on delivery at the post office, he'd just abandon the chicken. USPS got stuck for the bill too since these things were sent COD ~ Do you have any idea what you do with an abandoned and upset fighting rooster in a cardboard box?

That was the one time I went home and wrote personal letters to the Virginia and South Carolina Congressional delegations asking them to support legislation to ban animal fights, and to ban chickens from Express Mail.

I gather South Carolina itself finally decided they didn't need that business.

What was really upsetting about this was that by the time a chicken got from Oregon to South Carolina it was too late to send the chicken back to Oregon if it was refused. That meant Oregon had been selected by the breeders to avoid potential conflict with law authorities in South Carolina who could do something about breeding fighting chickens but not stopping the fights. It was a clever, but very cruel trick.
