Unfortunately, that's not gonna happen. Federal employees' union. I don't know if you saw that article posted in the forum about a year ago. It was about a postal worker in the midwest who'd been caught stealing packages about 7 times and was still working there.

Here's a true story you may not have heard. When William Faulkner was a young guy, he somehow got himself hired as local postmaster at the University of Mississippi Oxford. He hired all his poker and bridge buddies and they sat around all day playing cards, drinking and ignoring customers. This went on for several years before an inspector showed up and fired Faulkner. He said, "At least I won't have to dance attendance on every SOB who's got the price of a first class stamp." LOL!

Yep, that's sadly true. I guess if they PO enough eBayers, then the UPS stores will reap the benefits. Not enough of them around, in my opinion.
