Hey, USPS is all the time trying to close post offices.

Really?

Quite a few have been closed around where I live over the years. But there's always a bigger replacement. Each one of the bigger replacements sells teddy bears and pictures of Derek Jeter too. When you give them something to mail, they ask if you want it insured or some other inane question which delays the other folks waiting on line. Are the postal workers getting a commission? And BTW, we have a net plus of at least one post office where I live. The post office where I have my box used to have counter service from 7:30 to 5:30. Now I think it's 8:30 to 5:00. It's a disaster for me to receive certified mail.

Close 'em all and let UPS and FedEx fight for my business.

I don't think you'd care to wait around on FedEx where you live ~ if there's not enough business to support full-time window service, there's not enough business for them either.

My advice to you is to move to town, get a real job, and accept curbside delivery at a clusterbox.

BTW, you want that nasty little post office that doesn't serve you well to get closed, go ahead and complain to your Congress-critter. They'll all get a real laugh in his office as they pin your letter up on the "jokes board".

And no, the employees don't get a commission on anything ~ but they are required to ask certain "types" key questions ~ the experience being that certain people act like they want registry and/or certified on each and every letter they send.

You are simply matching a profile.
