the local office pulled the stunt where the line is to the door (mostly with idiots asking for 2 stamps or the person holding a bundle of items and doesnt own a roll of tape), so i attempt to leave my 2 pre-paid packages on the counter and am rebuffed as this is considered "target mail" apparently a fancy term for POSSIBLY A BOMB. get pissed, leave and call the main office where I usually drive out to drop stuff off. They inform me that its not allowed at ANY post office but they make an exception at their location. Go back in, wait in line for 20 minutes. Ask the guy when we'll be able to leave packages at the counter, he's instantly annoyed, says never - We have to make sure your packages are the weight it says on the label. Me: "At FedEx they just check it later and bill my credit card if its wrong". Him - "Well you can ship your packages by FedEx then." Me - "Well i would have spent the extra $10 to do so if i knew i had to wait"
another thing i hate is the people who think the post office is socializing time so they start telling jokes when they get to the counter
now i have to keep my eyes on the tracking to make sure they actually ship the items.
