If the post office is so concerned about losing money, let it consider one little item that costs a lot.

Every mail carrier has a large rubber band around each block`s mail. At the end of the block, the rubber band is discarded. Multiply this by the thousands of carriers we have, and you are talking about a sizable sum.

Why can`t they drop the rubber bands into their sacks and return them to the station?
