Sorry, Royal Mail, how much more automated can you make dropping a letter into a box?


Walking my dog this morning I found the post box near the shop “out of service”. That’s fine, there’s loads of others nearby, probably some efficiency savings RM can make. What bothered me is the notice that there’s a notice saying “automated system coming soon”. How can you automate the process of Doris dropping her Christmas cards in the local postbox for someone to collect and deliver it for her? It’s genuinely bent my brain and I’m thinking of all the ways the postal service could be enshittified in the near future.
