The local post office is hiring for carrier, which I always thought was kinda a cool job for a semi-retired guy so I checked it out.
Come to find out you have to use your own car now (they have multiple carriers but only one mailtruck). Stop and start and turn all day long so the kids' beaters don't last long and need new tires like every 5 months, what a shit deal.
That would be terrible. They would probably send you down gravel roads and all sorts of shit so all kinds of parts would need replacement. I think sorters etc still get $17 an hour or something but they will try to work you 60 hours a week with no benefits.
Yes exactly, it's "Rural Carrier" so gravel specifically. Poor kids get their first or second rides trashed, quit and the "Now Hiring" sign goes back on the door. Happens every couple months.
