No. There's a fuckin' post office in pretty much every town and if you're in a city, there's dozens. There are 3 post offices (that I know of) - Jim Nov 16, 06:20 1

    - do people really not know where their closet PO is? Like, don't you have to pick stuff up there, etc? - Andie Nov 16, 05:56 2
      - we do. they're open crap hours, I think is part of the issue. for me to get to a PO, I have to drive to work. some supermarkets have "you can ship - amanda Nov 16, 06:23 1
        
        My PO is fairly close - a little over a mile - but I have an Office Depot closer that has full postal and shipping service. -- nm - Meg Nov 16, 06:28
They are closing a lot of smaller stations, sub/contract stations, but its real easy to google and find one, also get stamps by mail now -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 22:38

Perhaps if the Tea Party had their way. -- nm - Qale Nov 15, 21:38 4
- IIRC, the PO is one of the federal things the teabaggers like, maybe because thats how most of the still get their social security checks -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 23:49
- I think so yes -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 15, 21:45 2
  - which one of us is making the little sandwiches, and who is making the pastries? -- nm - peglegpete Nov 15, 21:51 1

- Some would claim that time works differently when waiting in line in post offices -- nm - JD Nov 15, 21:57 4
  - when I taught a photo portrait class I told folks to go to the post office, people waiting in line usually fall into classic poses -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 22:39 3
    - Our PO recently went to a number system - like a deli. Walk in, take a number, and wait to be called. the wait is still as long but you don't have to - Meg Nov 15, 22:53 2
      - our Govt service does this, works alot better -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 06:22
      - my town's PO stopped doing that, so annoying adn there are soo many seniors -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 23:50
