Generalities aside, whether they're lazy or not - its about public perception.
And when I see my letter carrier sitting in a mailbox on my front lawn (looking very much like a federal porta-potty) smoking a cigarette...and then look at the footprints in the snow he leaves through my gardens (his daily shortcut to the neighbour's yard/mailbox), the elastic bands he litters all over my property - what image does that project to the public?
True...they're not all tarred with the same brush. I'm sure there are plenty of hard-working individuals within the Postal service. But like any profession there are those who leave us scratching our heads over their work ethic.
