It’s a little slow at first, but a couple minutes in, they start getting to the sorting machinery, which held my interest quite satisfactorily.

I had a moment of unintended comedy at the 2:00 mark, when some mail from a warehouse / sorting facility got handed off to a blonde in a Post-Office-blue blouse — who I thought was a postal worker — who took it into a kitchen to open the card and read it. I had to back up to convince myself that she was not a postal clerk!
Later, there was some near-comedy as an obviously heavy box came tumbling out of a chute millimeters from hitting a box marked “Fragile.”
You have to ask?
Not like working in a grocery warehouse. The selector (order picker) wears a small computer strapped to his wrist, with w laser scanner on his forefinger. hitting F1 on the computer downloads an order, complete with the time allowed to pick the order. Selector takes an electric pallet jack with a pallet to the beginning location, scans a bar code on the rack by each pick location, and so on. Forklift operators likewise have a computer mounted on their machine, telling them every move, and tracking them throughout the day.
Where’s the part where the USPS delivers my package to the wrong address, then when I complain to the lazy slobs in my PO they give me a phone number that no-one answers, and then refuse to pay insurance on the package they lost.
I love the “dramatic” tone of the narrator….. and the background music is sweet! If I didn’t know better, I’d be looking for drama around every corner…. LOL…. wait…. it’s the Post Office, there IS drama around every corner.
Of course, I have a hard time understanding how the “less than motivated” postal employee will make it out of the cozy mail truck to put a notice in our mailbox that mail isn’t being delivered because a vehicle is blocking the mail box…… if he had to get out and deliver the message…..???
See, and I always thought Kevin Costner did all the work. On a horse.
