I don't have the resources to do a study on the impact of no Saturday mail.

Posted by nubby Jan 29 '09, 07:34

However, I'm pretty sure that businesses would suffer.
And if I'm a landlord and rent's due, I don't want to wait to extra days for my rent check. And a million other anecdotal reasons.

Okay, I'm actually going to work now.

The black holes from the supercollider will eat up all the Saturday mail. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 07:39
I don't think I've *ever* mailed rent. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:38 21

  - but then, the American attitude generally is "No Saturday mail?! but that would make us no better than savages!" when these things come up - Reagen Jan 29, 07:44 7

      - I'm exaggerating of course, but nubby plays Chicken Little in most of these kind of discussions. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:47 5

        i think it's because you guys are resisting things the rest of use have already adapted to. - Andie Jan 29, 07:52 1

        We're giving counter-examples. That's all. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:51
        
        that seems unfair. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:48
  - I have no problem with mail on saturdays, I just think "it'll harm small business." is a ridiculous (and unfounded) reason. -- nm - mafic harms small business Jan 29, 07:43
  - totally not criticizing, i understand wanting to keep it. but acting like your entire society will crumble is sort of overreacting. - Andie Jan 29, 07:40 5

      - Isn't it that they want to cut back so that they *continue* making a profit? -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:46 1

    - I really don't think anyone is doing that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:41 1
      - *points at nubby* -- nm - zork Jan 29, 07:41
  - yeah, mail on Saturdays is good. we like it. what's wrong with it? -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:40 3
    - makes no sense to me, really. Usually it's just crap mail -- nm - CQ Jan 29, 07:44
    - I want Sunday mail!! -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 07:40
    - seems like a better day to cancel service than a tuesday *shrug* whatev. -- nm - zork Jan 29, 07:40
- at the end I was paying my rent online -- nm - zork Jan 29, 07:39
who relies on the mail service for rent cheques? besides, you can't deposit it until monday anyway. -- nm - zork Jan 29, 07:37 7
- I did that for like 9 years when I lived with my twin - con_carne Jan 29, 07:39

  - same here -- nm - decline Jan 29, 07:39 2
    - and here. so you mail it one day earlier and date the check for the appropriate day. really guys, it's not rocket science. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:39 1
      - actually, I mail my rent a week early (but that is just me) and I could give a rat's ass if we get mail on Sat. or not :) -- nm - decline Jan 29, 07:43
- Oh, so we should close banks on the weekends too? -- nm - nubby Jan 29, 07:38
- I would never mail a rent check, I bring it in to the office. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:38
if the rent is due on sunday, when do people pay it? Saturday right? well, now you get in Friday with a check dated Sunday. it's the same. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:35 8
- If it's due on Saturday, and they mail it Friday, I'd get it on Monday instead of Saturday. - nubby Jan 29, 07:37 7
  - you ignored my point. if you rent is currently due on sunday, don't you expect to get in on Saturday? - Andie Jan 29, 07:39 4
    - If it's due on Sunday, nothing changes. If it's due on Saturday, it's two extra days. - nubby Jan 29, 07:39 3
      - dude, you get a check on friday that's dated saturday. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:41 2
        
        *hops in time machine kills Hitler and gets mail* -- nm - Nubby Jan 29, 07:42 1
        
        Ooops Nubby si -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 07:44
  - you can't deposit it on saturday if it's dated for the sunday -- nm - zork Jan 29, 07:38 1
    - If it's dated for Sunday, it's late. -- nm - nubby Jan 29, 07:39
My mail always sucks on Saturday. - ty97 Jan 29, 07:34
