I didn't have to stand in the line today. Thank goodness. Only dropped off an envelope in the mail drop. It doesn't seem to matter if it's Christmas time or just a random Wednesday, it's always busy here. I just try to use the automated machine where you can weigh your envelope or package yourself, then prints out your stamp for you. Same thing if you want to buy stamps.
I don't think I'm very much with the times, I think you can do your postal services much easier now. Can't you get them to pick up your packages for you, if you use FedEx? Buy stamps online or at the checkout counter at your grocery store? I think I'll have to remember these methods next time. We're just creatures of habit, I guess.
Try another branch, that's my suggestion. This location has more than they can handle.
