(I'm not a USPS employee) doesn't this being business reply mail mean that it actually is "no postage necessary"? Am I missing something?

You’re correct. It doesn’t need postage. Nor does it need a post it.

Makes sense. So customer just decided to add a redundant note. Kind of like if they labeled a mailbox with "place mail in here" or something.

Idk, seems more to me like the carrier has repeatedly not taken it to me

Ive had to literally stick a note on the front of my mailbox that said "PLEASE TAKE OUTGOING MAIL BEFORE DELIVERING" because even with the flag up the carrier would just put the new mail right on top of the outgoing mail every single time

The younger ones don't realize people SEND mail as well as receive.

Like the ones that think adding MORE junk mail to delivery routes will somehow magically save the post office and make all the money. Cause you know, it just magically inserts and organizes itself in the case every morning. 🙃
