First we had the USPS PR guy in Oregon who responded to the report that a lucrative delivery contract had been awarded to the son of a PO supervisor with this: “We all have relatives that work in different facets of the post office,” Jeffrey says. “There’s an old joke about providing full-family employment.”

Now we have a nice story about a letter carrier who went out of his way to accomodate an elderly, legally blind woman on his route, and what does the local PR person have to say about it?

“It’s rare to see a carrier like Mike take initiative like that,” Thomas said. “Usually, it’s instigated by the customer.”

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up- wouldn’t want to give people the wrong impression, would we?
