At the gas station were you carrying significant weight for your whole shift? Did you have to stay outside for the entire shift without any breaks from the weather? Were you never off your feet? Did you have to run from dogs? Did you walk up steep hills and slippery staircases? Did you have to conserve your water in the heat?
Look, I'm not saying letter carriers are superhuman and worked like mules but don't assume all walking is walking.
I've worked as a waiter in a busy restaurant where tables were sometimes 1 min apart from each other for 9 hour shifts without breaks and I probably put more miles on there but no way was it anyway near as physical as being a letter carrier.
How long did a pair of shoes last you at your job?
