You have to go wait in line at the PO while one or two of the slowest, most easily distracted USPS workers take forever waiting on the two dozen or more customers who are in line before you. It can take an hour or more to mail something internationally. USPS PO employees are widely known for being sloths, and they never have enough lanes open to handle the number of customers.
We joke that grass grow faster than PO employees move. I guess they have a good union! Any job I ever had that kind of slothfulness would have resulted in employment termination.

So true! My FIL worked there for 20 years and is now retired. The stories I've heard... My hubby hates going to the post office other than to get mail. This is why he bought my Kindle to keep from doing that.
