I never get my mail until at least 2:30 in the afternoon so I was very surprised to see it delivered. Went to the mailbox NO MAIL. Went about the day and around 2:45 I see the mailman delivering the mail. (This person wasnot my regular mailman) I start to tell him the story about watching it on the computer and how all of a sudden it was delivered. I think I caught him off guard a bit as he told me something that surprised me . It was him when he picks up the mail in the morning he scans ALL of his packages in showing that they are delivered! First of all I didnt know you could do that. I said to him why would you do that? I think he knew that it shouldnt be done like this but wouldnt tell me that. I said what if the package never really came but yet SOMEONE scans it in as been delivered. What recourse would we have knowing that the package says delivered but was lets say lost or stolen? He hesitated and said to me the reason that he does it this way is because his route takes to long and to stop and scan delivered at each stop would be very time consuming! And His supervisors are watching the time on his route. Can you believe that! Just found that mind boggling! Just to let you know the package was there with all the rest of the mail!

Sometimes, ignorance really is bliss.

This is funny the other day I went to the post office, I've had 2 clients say they didn't get their winnings from ebay, I said to the post master if I didn't get it back and my customer didn't get it, where is it?

She replied [I]It's [B]lost in the mail!!

It's amazing that I can give refunds to customers for mail that isn't delivered, she replied send it certified for $3.10, so that means they will pay special attention with a little more money, it's amazing they say it with a straight face, no wonder the USPS is in the dump,

Just my .2 cents
