Poll: Why is there no mail on Sunday's?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Because the mailman needs a day off too

Answer 2

Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, and even the mailman needs a day off woek. 

Answer 3

The USPS has to have SOME day off - but in my area it feels like they actually do deliver on Sunday if they feel like it - unless I'm just simply checking it late and forgetting.

One could cite the whole American Evangelical thing as the tradition being behind that idea but I could swear I've seen USPS trucks on Sundays and found mail on Sundays but... my concept of days and time aren't great these days. 

Answer 4

Ask God.         

Answer 5

1) Traditionally businesses have been closed on Sunday. Google "Blue laws." While the post office isn't a business it has followed the same tradition. 

From wikipedia: 

In the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court has on numerous occasions held blue laws as constitutional, citing secular bases such as securing a day of rest for mail carriers,

2) It would be impractical. Seven day mail delivery would require two people per route which would effectively double the number of employees. 

Answer 6

Why do you believe that to pluralize Sunday you must insert an apostrophe before the S at the end?

Answer 7

Because...Even God rested  on Sundays.  It is a day to relax for most people.

Answer 8

The mailman doesn't deliver then
