USPS restricts nonessential spending to delay running out of cash

[DB.Cooper]

We would get water delivered & trash picked up, but, idiot in charge couldn’t pay in a timely manner, so, we stopped getting water & the trash would accumulate until they got paid.

Yeah, we used to have a water cooler with the big 5 gallon jugs that sat on top, then they got too cheap to pay for it, so that went away several years ago.... I guess WATER is not "essential"...

We had the same type of water cooler. Instead of taking at the most a minute to process a pymt, the guy ended up buying cases of water, weekly ! Brilliant PO mgt.
