No wonder the USPS is going broke

[1963Topps Set]

I have been a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service for over 22 years now. I welcome anyone to walk my route with me for one day, then see what they have to say. In all of the years I have been around, I have seen so MANY people come through those doors as carriers thinking they were going to have a cake walk. You would not believe how fast they drop out! Being a carrier is hot / cold / wet, etc.. I am not complaining, I love what I do, but walk in my shoes before YOU complain!

Tom I have the utmost respect for the carriers. I live in South Dakota and we have some horrible winters. My problem is with the way the sorting facilities are run because of the insane Union rules. Also in my area they are paid almost twice what other unskilled workers make in this area.
