Magazine subscriptions

[1320wayne]

This is for all those folks who get magazines in the mail. If you've ever received your magazine and it's all torn up I can now say how it happens most times. 

I have been driving a truck now for almost 4 years and I finally got my first US mail load down to West Palm, FL. It was a media load which is pretty much catalogs and magazines and assorted advertising. I'm watching some of the employees here unloading trucks and they could honestly care less about how they do it. They're running over magazines and spearing catalogs with their forklifts and simply throwing the items back onto the pallets that they fell off from. And these are all items that are addressed for personal delivery.  So there you have it folks. Minimal wage at its finest.

It is my understanding that people working for the USPS do not make minimum wage.

I count myself lucky I guess. I subscribe to quite a few magazines, and in 20 years of receiving magazines, I've only ever had one issue show up damaged. And when I sent a pic to the company, they sent me a replacement issue.

I'm still not sure how magazines arrive at my door with the subscription cards still inside them.
