So, if I leave money and phone number for my mail lady, I should get excellent service, got it! (It won't make a difference if I have never met her or if it's a straight guy, right?)
Sounds like you're on a good mailing route. I get a different mail man/lady every now and then. It's not a bad road if you ask me; they get a vehicle, short distances to walk between addresses and they have a straight drive back to the post office, less than 15 minutes away. They used to leave my parcels at the outlet on the way and I could pick them up the same day they left the card 90% of the time, even though it is supposed to be next day after 11 am. That outlet has now been transferred to the one I drive right by when coming back from work, but they only get my packages the next day. Now I have to stop on the way back home or on Saturdays while I drive to the store. Lazy bassturds! I much preferred getting back in the car and going for an extra 20 minute drive in even more traffic on the same day than stopping by the next day. It is just preposterous! I can't even imagine what it's like for those who have to wait the next Monday...
