U.S. Post Office may cut one day of mail delivery per week

Eh...I don't see this as a big deal. If it saves some money, go for it.

I heard a Post Office employee on talk radio saying that if they canceled a day, they would need more people at the actual post office because of all the excess mail. While that would be more jobs, it might be cheaper than all the gas.

I do understand mail back up though....when I was in school I worked at the campus post office. We were always backed up on Monday's because we were closed Sunday!

What about Netflix? And stuff bought online? I don't about you, but we are all anxious for the mail.

And if they cut Saturday does that mean they'll stop doing pickups on Saturdays too?

The only issue I can see, for me, is at work. I work in a law office, and a lot of that stuff is time-sensitive. It's not going to be a huge deal for me, but it's going to mean more work for our secretaries, because we're going to need them to get stuff out a day or two earlier.

Personally though, I don't think it will make a whole lot of difference.

What I was thinking was that, instead of getting stuff out a day or two earlier, most people will probably overnight it via FedEx, thereby costing the post office even more business!
