Neither Rain Nor Snow. But Impatient
New Yorkers?
- This 'Opinion' Is Not Worth Publishing, but...
A postal employee in this city wrote a
Letter to the Editor of their local newspaper - please click
link to read. We do not believe, not for one minute, that the vast
majority of letter carriers would say the things this person states was
said. This person wants to the paper, and its' readers, to believe his
statement... "So, why do the mail carriers accept cash and gift cards when
they know they are not allowed? Well, at the post offices where I have
worked, they all state they deserve the cash and expect cash gifts. They
then give special treatment to customers who tip graciously." We do not
and encourage you to
submit an
e-mail to this papers editor disagreeing with this persons letter.
