And hopefully 3,700 “Postmasters.”
That will save gobs of cash.
Except for delivery, most post office transactions could be handled by a kiosk-ATM type machine................

And when did you ever see any of them cut from the top down?
I went to the relatively new local UPS store for the first time in our small town. Family managed. The managers 16 yr old daughter was working, knew the business inside out. Friendly as could be. Bent over backwards to help. I had to mail several framed pictures. They took them and said don’t worry, we’ll do all the packing, labeling, etc. No waiting.
Contrast to the local US Post Office. The uniformed workers there struggle to get out a smile. Getting anything extra is like pulling teeth. Move slow as turtles. No wonder it’s losing money.
Over in Hollywood where I work, I could literally travel in each direction for FIVE minutes and hit a USPS office, no kidding.
The bad part is that most of these clerks have worse attitudes than my GF with PMS.
My dad worked as a postal clerk for a while before he retired and he was always railing about how many "supervisors" they had on every shift. About 1 to 3 ratio it seemed he said. Absolutely ridiculous.
Many of these tiny POs don’t have a real postmaster, they have hourly employees who act as the PM/clerk. I think around here they pay about $10/hr.
