Realistically at this point, Canada Post has become a giant spam generating organization. I ask myself if receiving coupons or flyers in the mail makes me buy products? Its doubtful, usually I just leave them there and they get chucked out, Its a big waste of trees.
For the most part if you open the market for parcel delivery and its profitable more people will enter the business.
As well I receive all of my important correspondence, ie bills and other things, I get them electronically.
So we don't really need to support some giant make work project like Canada Post.
At the end of the day, they shouldn't be there to be a giant wasteful job generating project, they should be there to deliver a service in the most economical and efficient way possible.
Just like with McDonalds its nice to have this thought that they're there to generate jobs, but they're really not, they're there to generate profits, and if that means less employees and more efficient services by installing computer screens, then so be it. If the customer satisfaction falters then they'll dump the project and go back to the older model. I do know and I talked to a McDonald's manager the other day that it was taking longer to get my order out, and it was probably around staffing levels to deliver the food, I was satisfied that I could enter my own order, but they seemed to be short in terms of preparation of orders, so if they get enough of that feedback it might change the employee to computer ratio.
