> A survey commissioned by La Poste found that French citizens rank mail carriers among their “favorite figures encountered in daily life,” second only to bakers.

This made me laugh a little.

Just how much bakers are appreciated in France.

(Which I think is great.)

Postmen and bakers are basically the two persons everyone sees everyday, so it makes sense.

For the bakers, it depends on how much bread you'd eat every day, I need to go to the baker once every two or three days. And if you live in a flat, you never see the postmen, mail just get dropped in your mailbox.
