What’s the best procedure for processing online and mail items?
I work at a summer camp where we receive registrations online and through the mail. Every registration needs to be processed by hand. We handle them by the order that they arrive. What’s the fairest way to handle mailed registrations (which do not have a time stamp) and online (which do)? If it were strictly online, there would be no issue, because we’d know exactly when each one was submitted and could handle them in that order. But with a combination of mail and online, it’s tricky.

The fairest way to process would be by the order you receive them. The regstrations sent by mail you mostly receive in the morning, so you first process them, and then you do the online ones. The reason why you process the ones through mail is that they have sent them earlier (at least 1 day) than the ones arriving that day. It would be fair to process the mailed ones first, then the online registrations.
