Answer 1

Their business is mail, yours is probably flipping burgers. Unless a mail carrier tells you how to short order, you shouldn't worry about mail delivery.

Answer 2

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. That's a quote from Herodotus that has been used by the post office.
The post office delivers daily because, many small home based businesses depend on the daily delivery of the mail, and because a mail carrier usually works over 8 hrs a day, now imagine if he had to sort and deliver mail twice that amount. It happens only on national holidays, were mail is held and delivered the next day. but it would be almost impossible to do every other day deliveries

i think of the walking around the grass is okay however the flower mattress is somewhat lots. Postal workers could walk lots whilst human beings have their mailboxes via their front door. i'm beneficial they like it whilst the mailbox in close to the line or the community has clusters of mailboxes. Grass is meant to be walked on, you may pass your mailbox and then he won't walk there. the lads who examine the meters additionally walk in the path of the grass.
