Never; this facility will likely continue to serve for as long as the people exchange mail.
Sure, you might say "the sender should write better", but that's needlessly discriminatory and flies in the face of what the United States Postal Service stands for. Not being able to immediately read the delivery address is not an excuse.
The USPS considers it an absolute failure to do their duty if they fail to deliver mail that was otherwise furnished properly, and I commend their commitment.
- jrpt 4y agoI really think you're overestimating the average postal worker's sense of "duty" as well as how the post office works as a whole system. The USPS once delivered a postcard I sent to myself, because their system confused my "from" address with the "to" address. When I complained, they told me to go buy another stamp and send a new postcard. My postcard was crystal clear to a human, but somehow their automated system got it confused, and yet they acted like it was my problem, not theirs. This was about 15 years ago so maybe their automated systems are better now, but I don't think their "duty" or "commitment" has changed that much.
- Dalewyn 4y agoThe professionalism of a given postal worker, unfortunately, varies considerably from what I've experienced, I've had the pleasure of interacting with exemplary workers and the bad apples. For something like this I don't want to base it around the bad apples, because this really is an example of the postal service being exemplary.
