Literal minded machines
Stupid address checker.
Our last mailing list run bounced One Glen Square (it's 1 Glen St.), 6801 Jerichp Rd (Jericho) and from 245 Rodger Ave (Roger Ave.).
Back in the oooooollllddd days, the letter carrier would be allowed the brains to intervene on these things. Now, if the address doesn't conform exactly, it's kicked out as Undeliverable. The USPS is saving their money by making our company spend the money (me) to clean these things up.
I can see a future where we don't even have human letter carriers, we just have little automated jeeps who put only the correctly addressed mail into the correctly sized boxes located an appropriate distance from the curb.
