The line was clear through the lobby and out to the door!! I'd have rather stuck a dull pencil in my eye than wait in a line that long at a post office....

And where else in th U.S. have you seen a post office in which there are NO stamps etc. sold in the lobby???? The one across from Target sort-of is the same way!! Standing in line to buy postage at the window only (no vending machines) is ridiculous and backwards.

I buy postage at the supermarket or online now..no wonder the P.O. is losing mail volume...they close early, before people get out of work at 5-6:00, and nothing is sold in the lobby. Pathetic way to do business.
