Does the United States Postal Service (USPS) still use the 94-100 degree range for acceptable urine temperature?  We did a collection of several (25) USPS employees and I did not notice until later that our collectors were accepting urine specimens whose temperature fell below 94.  The last/minimum temperature dot in the temperature strip is 90 degrees.  Has anybody else made this mistake?  Is this grounds for retraining?
