US Post Office

A small post office with one guy behind the counter moving as fast as he can to help the impatient costumers.
For me, I was attempting to mail a laptop to MO, an endeavor I took on myself. In hindsight I wish I would have just taken this task to my mail room and let them handle it. Hindsight is always ²⁰⁄₂₀ right?
I went through every box in the store trying to pack the laptop and carrying case into one box. Alas, the one box I hadn’t tried, the biggest one in the store was the winner. The laptop was lonely in there, in that big box with nothing to keep it company. Poor thing.
The guy behind the counter was friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor. I really appreciated that he took the time to help me with everything I needed. It’s a small post office, and an efficient one. I’ll be back.

I don’t think many people can claim to love a post office, but I come close to loving this one and mainly for one reason only — I can come in here on any given day, at any given time and invariably witness something like this:
An older gentleman who is quite dapper, usually wearing a pair of nice pants and a vest opens the door and looks in. There is a line (doesn’t matter how long) yet his face lights up. «Bill!» he exclaims, «How have you been friend? It’s so nice to see you today!»
*My eyes rove wildly, looking around for Bill*
Another older gentleman who is also quite dapper, perhaps in a newsie style hat he’s owned for long since they were a gleam in your local hipster’s eye looks up from his conversation with the woman in front of him. «Sam!» he also exclaims, «My man! What are you mailing today?»
Sam and Bill, or whichever other two gentleman I’ve seen proceed to engage not only each other in a conversation, but pretty soon almost anyone in line is being called upon or chiming in.
And before you know it your turn at the counter is up and you almost want to say to the person behind you, «After you…»
But, it’s the post office so obvi you don’t.

The clerks are just as friendly here and boy howdie are they also efficient. So if I ever find myself having to wait in line at a post office I’d much prefer to do it at one with such a friendly group of neighbors!

This is a decent post office but it’s very dated. So dated that I didn’t even know we had one in this area and almost passed it by when looking for it. Theres no parking lot that I saw, instead just off street parking which got a little cut throat with people swooping in for spots. I went a couple of weekends ago to mail out Xmas gifts and apparently, everyone else had the same idea because the line was out the door. Sanitizers on hand would have been convenient because there were wild, little children running around hacking their brains out, while their parents ignored them while waiting in line. It was gross.
I prefer to go to post offices that have an automated machine so I can get in and get out but they don’t offer one here so if you’re coming here, be prepared to wait. They were out of a majority of forms like delivery confirmation and customs so instead of filling it out while waiting, had to do all that when I got up to the counter. Definitely not my preferred choice of post offices to go to but would go to again if I had no other choice.
