The reason that virtually all First Class letters reach their destination is that we have an honest, professional, and relatively well paid group of men and women working for the USPS. And the pension system that so many Congressman complain about helps too. Only a fool with vested years in the Postal Service retirement plan would risk his future for a few First Class letters. Postal employees are very honest, and most of them, like you and me, are usually pleasant as well. Sure, they have their bad days like the rest of us. But what I find interesting is this: When I am in a good mood, slept well, and feeling that the world is a pretty OK place to be, I invariably find kind, considerate, and decent Postal Clerks. But on those days when I’m in a sour mood, so too are the Postal Clerks, my family, and all the other people I deal with.
