US Post Office

The self-​service machine is nearly broken. Expect 1 min wait for EVERY STEP!

This is a small post office with only one person behind the counter. I believe in supporting small businesses, so I stopped by this place. I wanted to mail a small manila envelope, size about 5×8. I usually send it from the post office in Auburn and it costs anywhere from 65 cents to 90cents. My mail was addressed to Las Vegas, NV. The woman asked me if I wanted priority mail, I said no, just regular mail. She said regular mail take 10 days, if you like 3 day delivery you must send priority mail (she’s asian so the english was broken). I replied, Oh isn’t this like a regular post office. She started yelling at me, I quote «Be Quiet! Listen to me — I am explaining to you, if you want 3 days you send in this envelope (she was showing me a priority mailing envelope to enclose my manila envelope), if not, you send regular mail, it take 10 days». I glared at her, picked up my mail and walked out. I went to the Auburn Post office and mailed it. The person receiving the mail from me got it in 3 days, as usual. I was amazed at how rude she was. And also how loud she was.
This woman is ripping off the public. If not, she’s an idiot. And if it’s the latter, that’s even worse because she’s handling US Mail. WAH!!!
