Went here today because I'm flying out of the country on Sunday and wanted to preemptively get and pay for a flat rate box to ship my cable modem back that day before heading to the airport.
Walked up to the clerk and he was like, "those boxes are free" - I had to explain to him 2 or 3 times what I was trying to do and then he was just like, "go to the kiosk," and pointed toward the lobby.
The kiosk wasn't working. Went back in. By this point another clerk was also there, and also didn't understand why I wanted to buy postage for a flat rate box ahead of time - you work for the post office, even someone with a USPS IQ should understand that the post office is not open on Sunday and that buying postage for it in person that day will not be possible, and that if I just put a bunch of stamps on it it will be considered anonymous mail.
Then she tried to refuse to sell it to me ahead of time because she said it would throw off the tracking if the postage was bought that far before it got shipped out, but if that were an actual issue and not something she made up on the spot to get out of doing her job, why does USPS allow you to buy and print postage at home?
I worked for USPS and it's practically impossible to get fired even if you purposely do things the wrong way, so it's not like these people were afraid of getting in trouble for doing something in a way they think is wrong. They're just too simple minded or lazy to complete any transactions that are remotely complicated.

Went in here today and on and on for many minutes, two employees were screaming at each other in an explosive fashion, to the point where everyone in the store was visibly uncomfortable and shocked at the situation. It was so severe that if i heard an argument like that coming from a house or apartment, i would call 911 for a domestic dispute, fearing for the safety of the participants. Thankfully there were no children present, as it would have been traumatizing for them. Unacceptable for a business, let alone a government entity.
