Hey! There was a huge line! I had run out of stamps and had to buy a
coil. Apparently the Monday before Christmas is the busiest day of
the year at retail windows. I went to a tiny post office that doesn't
have many customers; they still close for lunch for an hour like a
rural post office. I had to wait for 20 minutes!
The window clerks are now told to explain tracking to customers, so that
makes it take longer, and the woman several places in front of me couldn't
make up her mind if she wanted delivery confirmation or if she wanted to
pay for Priority Mail in lieu of First-Class Package service. Thank
goodness the clerk didn't ask her if she wanted to consider Parcel Post.
