Handing it over

Do any of you get a slight tinge of worry when you hand your letters over to a human behind the desk of Canada post? It seems like some of the workers are angry about letters and stamps ! I'm not saying all of the workers because there is some that seem very happy to take your mail and make sure its delivered . Anyways this is my outgoing . I did it again too !
