Found a Swiss post letterbox in the lobby of the hotel I’m staying at in Tenerife. Definitely unexpected, but definitely very cool lmao

Swiss Post creepily takes over world domination!
Maybe check out [this article](https://www.reddit.com/r/askswitzerland/comments/vqhz9i/what_is_this_seen_in_mallorca_spain_why_would/).
Saw one too in Gran Canaria
Common
I would have been surprised as well as I would not expect this in a foreign country.
[This article from 10 years ago](https://www.srf.ch/sendungen/kassensturz-espresso/themen/familie-und-freizeit/post-betreibt-briefkaesten-in-mallorca) adds a little more context.
According to [this article](https://www.blick.ch/wirtschaft/gelbe-briefkaesten-im-ausland-das-soll-kein-geschaeft-der-post-sein-id15216089.html), the emptying of these boxes is not done by Swiss Post:
>the Post does not operate a foreign business … , which is why no postal employees empty the mailboxes. This part is taken over by the Asendia Group, a joint venture of the Swiss Post and the French La Poste. So Swiss Post does business on the vacation islands through the Asendia joint venture.
ROFL
Did a swiss postman/woman emty the box every workday?
if so, I wanna have his Job. If not, it is not a real swiss letterbox!
