When you have people who'd rather sit on their butts and play solitaire on the computer, you are gunna have wasteful spending. (one of the only reasons I'm glad our local office closed) But in all honesty, things change. We don't need a nationalized postal service. With the use of email, texting, and the like, sending a traditional letter just doesn't happen like it used it. 95% of our bills are paperless (all the ones that offer it). They even manage to add ads. As for supermarket ads, I get those emailed too. I print out the coupons I need. Half the time I regret even going into the post office to mail something. It's like playing 20 questions. Is it fragile, liquid, hazardous? Do you need insurance? The question I hate the most! I'm paying you to do a service, and to do it correctly. When you go to a garage to get your car service, I think you'd fall over if they'd ask you to pay more in the event that the mechanic broke something off that he shouldn't have. AND NO... I don't want a teddy bear or framed art!:tiptoe:
