"Pile ou Face prices the unopened parcels by weight, with buyers having no clue what their chosen boxes might contain until they have parted with their cash." What a fantastic idea (and another great post)!!! I receive so much mail at work that belongs to no one in my office nor in the building proper in which my office resides, and though I always cross out the address with an arrow toward the sender's address and dutifully write RTS (return to sender), I can see the benefit of opening a Pile ou Face in downtown Austin. Hmmmm.
Only Rebecca Holden could write an entire article related to the post - office and draw us in like a magnet. What a creative spirit you have! Loved this.
Letters delivered by 11:30am! Was that due to less population or better efficiency? Hmmm.
Our PO is mostly funded by the government. Stamps and shipping don't cover the costs. And of course since Covid we have fewer mail carriers. There's always a "We're Hiring" sign. No post-atoes.

NOTE: Here in the US, it may be a federal offense to ope someone else's mail: https://thelawdictionary.org/article/what-is-the-federal-law-for-opening-mail-not-addressed-to-you/#:~:text=A%20federal%20statute%20known%20as,yours%20when%20you%20opened%20it.

I’ve been very tempted to post you tea (not taters) in follow up to some comments we’ve exchanged recently, and especially after these letters!
