I remember the post office having a foyer full of little PO boxes that were loaded from the rear, and most people in town had to go there to get their mail. That was in small town Ontario 40 years ago, but they’d have probably used these super boxes now instead.

Mostly a big deal in dense cities, apparently. Figuring out where to put a great many of them when most of the space is taken up by other things. They’re considering using parking spots for some of them, which has raised questions about the safety of the people accessing them. Other solutions and problems as well. Everywhere I have lived for the last 25 years has had these boxes, and they tend to build spots into new neighbourhoods to support them, but subdivisions aren’t super dense, so I can see why cities might have challenges.

OMG I did the same thing at a local pub. Thinking steak sandwich. Ordered one up. Pretty good! Went home, went to bed. Three hours later - gurgle - glorp - oh shit! The rest of the night it was coming out both ends. Feel fine after some sleep. Forget all about it. Three weeks later, at the same pub. Thinking steak sandwich again. Pretty good! Went home, went to bed. Sure enough, three hours later, lather, rinse, repeat. Feel fine after some sleep. Forget all about it. Three weeks later, go to the same pub. Thinking steak sandwich again, third time’s the charm, right? My face when the pub had a sign up saying it was closed down for health code violations :/ To be fair, it was a good sandwich.
