Mailman not bringing the mail

Today I read an article in the Star Tribune called, “A mailman who didn’t deliver”. This article was about a mailman named Steven Padgett who was not delivering the junk mail he was given to peoples houses. Why? Because he felt overwhelmed by the torrents of direct advertisement mail. Supposedly Mailman Steve had not delivered seven years worth of mail, he kept the mail that he didn’t deliver in his garage of sometimes even burry it in his yard. He was caught when a random person saw the bin in his garage and called the police . Mailman Steve was given a 3,000 dollar fine, three years on probation, and 500 hours community service. On the flipside of the story there was never one complaint for the undelivered mail and some people like Kenna Reinhardt responded to the charges saying "Mr. Padgett did not mean harm to any person, rather he overcompensated by doing his job better than anyone". Yet 1/3 of the mail companies income comes from the junk mail sent out.
