philippine postal worker's, i'm so mad

A few years ago I sent my cousins a few beaded bracelets in a birthday or Christmas card. As usual the card got there minus the bracelets. The bracelets were only worth a few dollars but I was so angry that someone would actually steal from the post and as I had never heard of that happening before (I live in Australia and you can go to jail for opening letters and packages that aren't addressed to you and mailmen have been jailed in the past) I wrote a letter to the Philippine Consulate in Sydney expressing my anger.

I told them that if they actually paid their staff better that people wouldn't steal from the post and that people would actually have more faith in the postal system. I can't remember exactly what I wrote, but in the reply that I received it did mention that I was not to make 'sweeping generalisations' about the postal workers in the Philippines.

Not really true as greed works in every country. Once you learn how to do something that makes you money, you do it more & more, that is the way business grows.
