"THE PACKAGE" by Cindy K. Mackey

Copyright © Cindy Mackey, 2010.

Cast of Characters:

Terry..............Manager of "Mail Etcetera" (peppy personality)

Jon.........Businessman in his forties. (dark and somewhat gloomy)

Tina....................Employee of "Mail Etcetera"

INT. PACKAGING STORE - AFTERNOON

A man (Terry)in his thirties is behind the counter watching Spongebob on a laptop. Above the counter, a banner reads: “Mail Etcetera Grand Opening” (big letters) America's fastest growing franchise” (small letters).

Terry laughs.

A woman come in from the back

room(Tina).

TINA

I'm going on break. You want anything?

He laughs at the show.

TERRY

This is my favorite episode! I just love slide whistles...

Tina rolls her eyes and exits.

Terry laughs again at the show.

A man (Jon) wearing business clothes

walks in. He is breathing heavily, his

hair is a mess. He looks paranoid.

Terry frantically turns off the

DVD—causing papers to go flying and he

slips and falls. His face quickly appears above the

counter.

TERRY

May I help you?

JON

Yeah. (beat) I need to get something out of the country.

TERRY

Of course! (pointing to the banner above his head) See the sign? MAIL Etcetera! That's what we do! We mail things...and, you know, etcetera!

JON

Wonderful. Can you get it off today?

TERRY

(looking at watch and hesitating) Uh...of course! Of course! No problem!

JON

You sure? It's almost five...

TERRY

Five o'clock? (chuckles) Our day is just beginning! You see, sir, WE at Mail Etcetera are on the move 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! We deliver any time, any where! Satisfaction guarantee!

JON

(to self) Any time, anywhere...

TERRY

    Usps Synthesis Paper

    The continuous loss of revenue for the USPS can be alleviated by simply eliminating two or three mail delivery days every week. The business sunk like the Titanic just three years ago, when “the Postal Service experienced a 13 percent drop in mail volume… more than double any previous declining and lost $3.8 billion” (Source C). Unfortunately, the problem is only predicted to deteriorate with even “steeper drops in mail volume and revenue” expected in the next decade (Source C). Some experts disagree, and argue that increasing service is the answer. Marketing professor Richard Honack advises, “don’t drop from six- to five-day delivery; go the other way” (Source A). On the other hand, Source F argues that “eliminating Saturday mail delivery would save $40 billion over a decade,” whereas Honack states no guarantees in money increase or savings. Having mail delivered four or five days a week is a necessary solution for the USPS, in a time where…

    USPS: Keep Up With The Business World

    For two centuries, the United States Postal Service (USPS) had been delivering many packages to people all over the country. However, in the modern world, there are less packages for the mail carriers to deliver because of email and other companies. In order for USPS to stay in business, they should change their ways of delivering to meet the needs of the changing world.…

    USPS Synthesis Essay

    One of the steps to helping the USPS keep up with all the new technology is to increase services and give their customers more options. People are choosing other ways because postal services aren’t as efficient as the internet. According to Source A, they are dropping from six- to five-day delivery. With the lack of faith in their services and drop in delivery days, the number of customers will probably decrease due to the slow services. The USPS should be providing a seven-day delivery service so their customers can be guaranteed to receive their letters and packages faster and easier. The inefficient and unreliable service causes the number of mail to decrease but increasing services can help attract and gain the trust of customers.…

    The United States Postal Service (USPS) has delivered packages and other various mail for more than two centuries. With a significant increase to the USPS, however, the deficit in income has caused the USPS to shorten delivery days. In light of this, the United States Postal Service should not cut back on delivery days, but alternatively be reconstructed to meet the needs of Americans. It is important to support the traditions of the USPS by revamping the corporation’s policy, image, and by implementing modern-day morals.…

    American Legion: Personal Statement Of Purpose

    Last summer, I endeavored a life changing experience. American Legion Buckeye Boys State is a leadership program. It is the best Boys State program in the nation. On top of this, it is among the top programs for leadership, growth, and is a meeting of the greatest minds of Ohio, and by proxy, of the nation. But it’s so much more than that. From Day One, the minute you step off the bus, it instantly becomes an incredible experience. Everyone, people who have never even met before, are shaking everyone else’s hands, introducing themselves, and campaigning for positions before anyone has even dropped their luggage off. It was breathtaking, truly, and it made me realize that I too had to step up. Naturally, I did just that. I started meeting people,…

    Synthesis Essay On Post Office

    Since the world has become technology based, less snail mail is being delivered. In 2009, there was twenty-six billion less pieces of mail delivered than in the previous year. This suggests that if the United States Postal Service does not adapt to the new electronic age, they could eventually go bankrupt. Source C reinforces this claim by arguing that changes are necessary after “the Postal Service experienced a 13 percent drop in mail volume last fiscal year, more than double any previous decline, and lost $3.8 billion.” Eliminating saturday deliveries and merging post offices together will help save some of this money…

    Every single day Jenna sits at in her living room. Without fail around 5 minutes after 9, her dog Luca begins to bark. That is the signal she waits to hear, this means that the mailman is coming up the stairs. Every single day Jenna greets him at the door, until one day the mailman, whose name was Steve, isn’t there. Not because he passed away, but because he had been let go. The United States Postal Service is very important and should not be expected to change in this changing world, because it is part of our history, gives people jobs, and is cheaper than other services like UPS and FedEx.…
