Great that it was open on Saturday. I ended up buying tape and an envelope. It was about $5 in total. The attendant was pleasant albeit not knowledgeable or helpful about their “services” and products. None of this was unexpected from the USPS. What follows is more a comment on the actual vs potential postal service where I would have gladly paid $5-10 more for it to have been a smoother operation with better service.
Consider this scenario where what precedes the forward slash is what happened and what follows is an ideal alternative universe where USPS provides actual value beyond snail mail.

Me: Hello, I have this item to return (not packaged) and this return label. What do I need to mail this?
USPS Worker: We sell those envelopes over there (points to a retail shelf across the room) / Happy to help! We have retail envelopes and tape in the corner across the room, but for a $5 service fee, I’d be happy to package it up for you.
Me: Which one? / Ok great!
USPSW: Any one. / The white one is probably best and most affordable.
Me: Which one is least expensive?
USPSW: I don’t know. You have to look at it. / Of course, the white one is least expensive, but it’s not as padded if that’s important.
Me: Really?!? You don’t know? Ok I’ll go grab one real quick and leave this right here (runs off)
USPSW: You can’t leave this here! / Sure, I’ll place it to the side while I take the next customer, but you can step right up and resume completing your packaging.
Me: (Returning with the envelope)
USPSW: (No longer at the station) / (Checks back at the station) I’ll be right with you again momentarily.
Me: Hmmm
USPSW: (Returning, silent.) / My apologies for the delay.
Me: Is there a slip for me to affix this label that I printed from at home?
USPSW: We sell that tape right there (points to rolls of tape on the counter) / Unfortunately no, but here’s a roll of tape that a previous customer left for the community.
Me: ok (grabs tape and masks each side)
USPSW: (watches me work) / Let me tape that up for you.
Me: Ok, is this good to go.
USPSW: Yep, that’ll be $4.59.
Me: (pays) Can I leave this here for the community?
USPSW: I can’t guarantee that. I don’t work here all the time. / That’s so kind, sir. I’ll attach it to this station and let my colleagues know.
Me: Ok. Thanks, have a great day.
USPSW: You have a great day too.
