Danny, you know all too well that folks everywhere, not including me :wink, like to tease the postal employees. We are so overly prone to whine about the delivery service. However, we should also be willing to admit that the sheer volume of mail processed by USPS is staggering!
Grandma Kim does quite a bit of eBay business, which takes me to the Bloomington, Illinois (pop. 65k 2000 census) main post office 6 days most weeks. Most of the employees whose jobs involve dealing with postal customers know me by name. Even the non-union employee from another town's post office, who has been temporarily assigned to "meet and greet" at the APC machine, always has a cheerful, "Hi, Steve" greeting for me on the days when I bypass the APC on my way to the counter to mail international items. I frequently hear employees complaining about how management does things at USPS, and I almost always agree with those things I'm hearing. But you guys have to admit that getting holidays such as National Pickle Day in Albania as one of your paid holidays puts you folks right behind school kids in terms of days off.:rolling
