I have been going to the postage office for the last 30 years for the business. The last eight years I have been going to a post office substation in a local supermarket. I like use it as I have free parking, they can handle my foreign packages and if I need take a big package into the post office I can use a shopping cart. The supermarket is only two miles from the house and the people that worked there are great, so my packages get out with minium hassle. The postal people enjoy doing my packages as I have them ready to go and we have a pleasant time.
What I do not like our the customers that come to the post office. They are so unprepared with their packages. Some people think that the postal person should fill the address out for them. Then there is a group of people I call the impatients. I tried to keep the number of packages to a certain minium and go when two people are on duty at the substation. It does not always work for various reasons. I wait in line for my turn and do my business as quickly as possible. When I get up to the desk many times there is someone who feels I should let them ahead. I used to do it until I got this jerk who was two feet behind me. I let him go ahead for the postal person, but after that I no longer will let anyone ahead of me.
I have to enforce that policy as I have a new problem at the post office, the post office software is crashing when I am getting packages done. They did an update recently and since the update the software is going out almost every day. I have had the computers go out twice on me. The first was on Friday and the other was today Tuesday. On Friday we had one terminal crash then we moved the rest of the packages to the other terminal before it crashed. Today the same procedure happenthey were able to get the computer terminals up so it took about ten minutes more than normal to get my packages done. Still it is another hassle to deal with.
