Don’t mess with the postal person or he/she will go postal. You want that individual on your side. More things could get “lost”. Consider the fact, the he may not have been responsible for the loss of the other package. Also, the more he smokes the earlier a job opening for someone who needs a job. It all balances out. Now, I think there is much to be said for people who give each other the same gift.

I am so jealous that you have the Admiral Ackbar Mighty Mugg. My Bespin Luke needs another playmate.

I doubt he’s allowed to smoke. But you probably should learn to properly use your postman, depending on the region. In France, in many regions, the postman is someone you need or can socialize and build a relation. Some are rotten, and will be robbers, or signal others of empty homes. To prevent rotting, or to get the guy to make sure you get the mail, and prevent him from stealing it, he/she needs to be cared for, in a social way, sometimes with a little drink, or a cigarrette, a gesture.

Some places, the postman changes so often, or are so rotten or mechanical, there is no way to really influence them manually. Just got to discern.

and no we (i work for the postal service…yes we are an out dated and bureaucratic institution, but it pays the bulls) are not allowed to smoke while on duty, but there are alot of people who do, and the higher ups usually just turn a blind eye to it…

I cook for a living and even I stay way from deep frying. Unless, of course, it’s pre-battered. I messed up deep frying turkey on Thanksgiving. I basically boiled instead. It was a delicious mess.

Also, no, postal carriers aren’t allowed to smoke while delivering. Fire hazard for packages, etc. And it’s really just in bad taste.
