The defining moment for me was one Christmas, standing in line at the post office during lunch hour, and listening to a postal worker whine about how busy the lunch hour was. Her solution was that the post office should close during the lunch hour.

Her attitude was that her job was sinecure, and we were inconveniencing her.

I have dealt with many friendly, helpful, efficient postal workers. Unfortunately, the deadwood is going to drag them all down.

I knew someone who worked for a pretty large company in a small town. The plant was located in walking distance to the local post office, and a good portion of the employees were locals. Lunch time for the plant was noon...and the post office closed for lunch from noon until 2 p.m. If they weren't throwing something in a mailbox or going to their own box...fuggedaboudit.
