There’s a phrase about keeping your mouth shut and letting people think you’re a dumbass as opposed to removing all doubt.

In all honesty they should just move to delivery 3 days a week except for overnight or priority mail. do half the routes MWF and the other half TuThSa

Eliminate junk mail and they could go to twice a week.
