A monthly review with potential for continuation.
No isolated cases: these «espresso» stories have potential to be continued! The Google Maps navigation app, which guides cars onto impassable country lanes, and the post office, which has repeatedly declared a man dead. Various responses have been received for both contributions from people who say: «I know!» And then there was the issue of donations at the post office counter. The QR-bill seemed to make this impossible – but now there is a pragmatic solution.
QR: It is still possible to make donations at the post office counter
Almost anything is still possible with the new QR-bill. Nearly. Because the handwritten “note” for payments at the post office counter is no longer on the new payment part with QR code. This worried the fundraisers. A solution is now on the table. Swiss Post lends a helping hand to the charitable organizations so that donations made at the counter can continue to be assigned to the intended use in the future. Swiss Solidarity, as a large charity, is relieved. To the post
Post declares husband dead four times
Someone repeatedly changes a man’s status to “dead” in the Post system. The father of the family does not receive any mail for weeks. In August it happened for the fourth time in a year and a half.

After the intervention of “Espresso” the matter should now be settled. To the post
