Counter clerk was efficient but not friendly at all. No acknowledgement to my polite "thank you". Just a "next".

Don't buy mailing supplies from the post office. I purchased several envelopes last year to mail packages. They now say I have to buy the envelopes again when I mail the package unless I can produce a receipt. I had no idea I would need to keep receipts for envelopes that I package my stuff in. I will never buy products from the post office again. I was called a thief for products I purchased. I could have purchased envelopes at Office Depot. I learned a costly lesson. 👎 👎 boo...
Update: the post office accusing me of stealing envelopes can't even spell Bessemer on their own postal stamp ( see pic)

I have been waiting on a package that's supposedly been stuck here in Bessemer since 08/31/2025 and it is now 09/10 with no updates since. Says delivery status is unavailable. Now, I can't get a refund or replacement for my items. Junk mail is delivered religiously. So, there's nothing in my environment hindering deliveries. Where are my packages?
