For a couple of years, I've been driving by a PO right by where I work.

I don't normally use that one, as I prefer to use one close to my house. Today though, I had a meeting I needed to attend, that kept me from using my PO of choice.

"No Problem, I'll just use the one close to work, and see how that works out for me".

Meeting over, I drive to the PO only to find a sign in the window...

"THIS WINDOW IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED"

Son-of-a-..... It's 95F outside, so I can't leave the packages in the car, so I have to haul them into work, and leave them on the counter where I'm *cough* working *cough*...

Investigators at the PO near my satellite office discovered that the postmistress was (allegedly, of course) embezzling thousands of dollars. They canned her and installed a new one. The new one cut service hours, and the only PO for miles closes its doors at 3 p.m.! That means if you have to use the PO, there is usually a substantial line. I think they actually provided better service under the embezzler.
