So, I’m supposed to buy things I don’t want so the post office employees can collect their pension? Apparently you’re not aware that those “employer” contributions are tax dollars.
And don’t give me that garbage about how those postal workers worked for less. The post office has always been one of the best paying jobs around while the “patron” stands in line because the union makes sure the guy selling stamps gets a break every two hours.
As for those fliers, if I need to buy something I’ll find it. I don’t need a flier to tell me where the store is located.
Actually, the junk mail you refer to keeps postal rates low. If you had to figure the cost per piece of mail, it would be much higher without the mass mailings that advertisers do.
Since the 1970s, USPS income comes out of the rates charged customers, not from the taxpayers. Postal employees earn their income, like all their fellow taxpayers, by what their customers pay for service. The USPS is not a charity case. If it was there would be no issue about it losing money in the first place.

Breaks every two hours? Sounds nice, but not my experience. Which post office did you work at?
