"Why is everyone so unhappy?" "Because this is the post office son."

I recently completed selling a bunch of stuff on Ebay, which resulted in going to the post office four days in row. Everyday was a fifteen to thirty minute wait, but what made the wait absolutely unbearable was that out of three people working the counter, only two would deal with paying customers. The other postal employee only dealt with non-monetary transactions. Sometimes the employee would just be standing there doing nothing. Can someone explain to me how this is effective customer service? Why not have all three deal with all the customers? Then there are the customers that just completely screw the people behind them. “Hey lady, how about addressing your fifteen packages before you get to the counter? Do you think that might be considerate for the rest of us?” Better yet, was the man who brought all his EBay packages to the post office just to have them weighed. He was not even sending them yet. “Dude, did you at anytime think about buying a cheap scale!” Here endeth the rant. Sorry about that, I needed to get that out of my system. More happy, sunny and pretty posts to follow. Cheers!!
