Junk Mail?

When I read about today's topic I was first reminded of Cliff Clavin from "Cheers" but then I decided that Cliff did mostly deliver the mail he just spent a lot of time in the bar. Then I remembered it was Newman from "Seinfeld" who rented storage for the mail he didn't deliver. Not to be outdone by TV personalities a real life postal carrier in (of all places!) San Carlos Park,Florida decided the best way to deal with mail, other than actually delivering it, was to take it directly to a dumpster and call it task completed for the day without any pesky middleman. The carrier may have been getting away with her scheme for some time before the owner of the pizza parlor noticed a dump on the security camera. When the dumpster was checked there were hundreds of pieces of mail of all kinds,not just junk mail. The post office came and picked up the mail and a copy of the video footage. There was no mention of what type of disciplinary action would be taken against the carrier,but hey it is Florida after all!
