Yeah, it was for me too. Walking 7 miles a day was nothing for me. Memorizing the names and addresses of the 700+ possible deliveries on my route was nothing for me. Sorting 1000 pieces of mail into delivery order in 45 minutes was easy for me.
For most people, it's too much to handle.
Like I said, not sure how Canada Posts' operation is set up so I can't speak to them specifically.
