The postal service ranks up there with public libraries, it’s a great service that needs to be preserved. Are you going to have individual points of failure at times? Yeah, my own postal person kinda sucks, but as long as it’s a system that relies on humans to perform it, that’s going to happen, but on the whole it’s a great service for what it provides on a daily basis.
Well, one might say the reviews constitute one point, a quirk like that isn’t born in a vacuum. Many of the “human errors”, if we may call them that, seem preventable if we include things like theft and the actual workplace. There are also so many tiny but impactful legal caveats (what actually constitutes mail fraud comes to mind) that it feels overpowering. If it were a private business, all this would be decried as an example of “monopoly syndrome”, heck Amazon (who I don’t respect any more) already has this criticism towards it.
