Ours for one. Some of the folks in the roughly 70 square miles served by the post office are illiterate. Guess who makes out checks and money orders? The postal clerk. Those same folks live in an area where internet access is dialup at best. Not to mention most of the elderly don’t own computers. We’re in the process of screwing the greatest generation that fought in WWII and Korea.
Most of the mail is delivered by contract carriers that sort the mail in that liitle post office. Most folks (maybe 60) in this unincorporated town don’t travel in winter.
I think the post office would save much more money by delayering management. Simply cut the management levels by half.
Yep; you said it. My uncle couldn’t read or write. The postmaster made out his checks for him and mailed them to pay his bills. I don’t know what he would have done without her help; she even fed him a lot of his meals as he got older and unable to manage. I hated it; but he lived on the other end of the state from me. - He was like a pesky kid that like to have drove her ‘round the bend at times.
