And it wont keep postage prices down. They just want to cut that day out of the work week and then in a couple of years later they'll have some other crisis that they'll claim justifies a rate increase. And now that Bush put a new law in that provides even less oversight on rate increases, they'd have no problem getting it through.

What they need to do is close some of the unneeded branch offices. There are two post offices in this tiny little town of Norman, OK (Suburb of OKC) alone and that doesn't even count the post offices in stores and such. It takes a whole 15 min to drive from one end of this town to the other, it doesn't need two fucking post offices. This same story is repeated all across the country, post offices way out in the middle of nowhere when there is one in the next bigger town over less than 15 min away. And people always like to bitch about the drive, well, thats what happens when you decided to live in the middle of nowhere, you have to drive a little ways to town to go do stuff. If you don't like that, move to the city or shut the fuck up.

Also, the post office needs to be forced to stop sponsoring stuff like Tour de France and wasting money on TV advertising. You don't see the welfare office advertising on TV, thats because everyone knows its there. The same applies with the post office. There is only one way to send a letter in this country and even the dumbest of us know where to go and how to do it.

Again, where do you live (or what bank do you tolerate) that pulls this bullshit? I don't play the "posts next business day" game.

Obviously if you're putting it into an ATM and taking the money right out, the check hasn't been processed. Hell, a real human hasn't even seen it!!

Read about Ford's Presidency, how much he gave up personally to hold the country together and avoid a lengthy Nixon trial. You'll be surprised .. or maybe you won't be, from what I've seen in the past.

Hey, I want PROOF I put money in one of those things. Asking sponsors to sift through their canceled checks if the bank says there wasn't a check just doesn't seem like fun to me. If I were writing myself a check from one account to another, perhaps, but when dealing with a big business check, I'd just feel better getting a real receipt from a real person :)

And I know people who deposit CASH into ATMs. I kinda do the same thing when I play the slots though. :Oh crap

Which is why most banks now limit the amount of your deposit that goes into available funds. People got smart and started making large "deposits" that were really just empty envelopes and then they'd use their debit card or ATM card to take all the money out, leaving the bank holding the bag.

I would always avoid putting a deposit in an ATM, esp. a cash deposit. What stops the teller from putting the cash in their pocket the next morning and saying "Opps, we never got your deposit". If I had to do it in an emergency, I would probably show the camera in the ATM each bill and then show me putting it into the enevelope, sealing it and shoving it into the little slot.
