Poor postal workers

This could change things as well.

The US Postal Service wants to 'cluster' subdivision mailboxes — and developers aren't happy

Seeing it happen plenty. There’s a subdivision I deliver to with 150 homes. Every mailbox lined up at the main road on top of a hill. Dangerous as hell. Not to mention the postal worker is probably delivering amazon to half the houses anyway.

I can’t blame them. Too many people in the burbs or the boondocks think every postal route is mounted and forget that thousands of letter carriers have walking routes. Now instead of walking for 4-5 hours a day, they’ll get to walk 8 hours a day. I’d be pissed too.

I sure as hell don’t want to walk all day through a foot of snow or in 100 degree heat.

Shocker the mail man came here to Bitch about it lol

Could be wrong but
I think that was the point

That’s the point at the post office too. They’re just 49 years behind the times lol

You think you have problems with those subdivision mailox set ups? Try running across one of these set ups in the country with little roads going every which way. Add in very few names on the boxes

Back in the day

Just bag it and tie it to the post. They’d figure it out

Hey I drive a nice air conditioned/heated tractor all year, doesn’t have any effect on me.

I understand where they’re coming from, though.

Back in my day (early on) we had to get signatures for MOST of it. A bunch of mailboxes like this was common when delivering around the lakes area. Your best hope was that the people had put up a little sign nailed to a tree that directed you down a road with about 5 cabins to choose from.

That’s allot of mailbox stuffing in a short distance.

Don’t see those much anymore but man I remember them.

Find a different job then.

Why? Seems like the union is doing their job.

We don’t have those yet. As long as the houses are numbered somehow I don’t really care.

Numbered on the light post 2’ off the ground with a shrub placed infront of post... so in 1-2 years you cant see the damn number.

Or shiny brass numbers on a green or black board... so they dull out in a couple years and look green/ black.
