They alternate houses that receive on those days (or just skip blocks). Its frustrating, but at least it would be expected with the new system.

Our service here is horrible! They lose mail - yet claim that doesn't happen. Our local employees are just plain rude but I know they all have good benefits. Overall I wish it had been run better, but maybe the private sector can pick up the slack if there is an actual need. Only the market can dictate that. A demand will be supplied. :)Andrea Krusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14605909254317987384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539168354110016201.post-60962382363753658782013-03-06T16:17:19.118-05:002013-03-06T16:17:19.118-05:00I wonder if more people will start mailing package...I wonder if more people will start mailing packages through UPS or FedEx so they can have Saturday deliveries?

I call them mom and dad too, they helped raise me), They are both post masters in my hometown. I can sacrifice if it means they will be ensured to keep their jobs, but it doesn't mean I like it. And seriously if I'm going to be giving up my Saturday mail, which is a big thing with my business; then I want ot be assured it really is saving jobs. Not more of their "propoganda" that it "might" save jobs.

It does suck for those workers though, I mean some of them depend on that extra day of work if they can get it. Hopefully they have a plan behind it and a better reason then we are all expecting. <a href="http://grlnlve.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">totally_rachel</a>Rachel Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856472716281399044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539168354110016201.post-1452897816033291552013-03-05T06:05:20.969-05:002013-03-05T06:05:20.969-05:00i WOULD RATHER THEM DROP A DAY THEN LAY PEOPLE OFF...i WOULD RATHER THEM DROP A DAY THEN LAY PEOPLE OFF.

They could work 3 12 hour days(36 hrs) and they would save on overtime and operating expenses for 3 days a week. It would be better than no job.<br />Or they could do as the government generally does, pour in a lot more money with no accountability and in<br />10 years we would be back at the same place again.
