While many of us wait for our mail to be delivered same group of ten postal workers sit in starbucks drinking coffee for over an hour and a half with their bags right next to their feet filled with peoples mail and it is a common joke in our town.

Actually you have RM to thank for that one too. When the two daily deliveries ended so did the working practices at the time. It is now perfectly acceptable for your postie to go home and have a sleep, or some breakfast and he can take as long as he wants about it too, that is as long as the mail is delivered by 5pm (In order to qualify for being delivered by that working day). The mail should also be stored in an authorised safe place or kept in the posties possession the whole time.
For some reason a lot of the public can't seem to grasp this and so I still get told how late I am when I'm still on the road at 13:30 delivering and constantly get accusations like what you have said above thrown at me. Now I don't take any long breaks, I get out as early as I can and on the rare occasion I do finish a little bit early I count it as a bonus on my break, which I have to take at the end of my shift in order to avoid abuse from the public.
