Now she has to sit and wonder to herself “dam was it worth it”.
Sad!
I bet she was born in Jersey.
Seems that clerks get caught stealing mail more than carriers.
I would have thought that carriers had more theft opportunities.
Maybe the catwalks and the creeps behind the “mirrors” are doing some work.
REALLY? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
God bless you girl!, God Damn the Inspectors and OIG, may they meet death at every door, pigs!
