The USPS is planning on closing several post offices locally. It makes sense except it will create a shortage of post office boxes unless more are added to the post offices that remain.
How about ya go to a PRIVATE postal place for a box?
Hell with the post office and their UNION.
Besides if U go to a private place that is owned by a small business owner they will treat ya better than some overpaid postal clown who looks at you with contempt.
But they won't lay anyone off. Bet on it.

They can put almost all those folks on a rural route. There will be a lot of route realignments over the next few years as all these useless post offices are closed. My study (done in the 1970s) said they could eliminate all but about 1200 of them ~
