The post office closed for lunch between 11:30am and 12:30pm daily....in the spring, they'd designate one day to give out fresh strawberry shortcake to anyone that stopped in....you walked in and you were greeted by first name....it was like "Cheers" everybody knew your name (and your business...lol). The only 'blue' mail boxes in town were outside the post office....

when we lived in Ft Lauderdale one of the carriers serving our area was fired....at 2:30pm whatever mail she hadn't delivered she threw away, because she needed to get to her second job and apparently you couldn't come back to the PO with undelivered mail. Bad help is easy to find.
Wonder why we never got any cake.
