Then she pulled the gate at noon and pretty much said "Too bad, so sad," leaving more than a dozen people SOL. I Googled the closest USPS selfservice kiosk (which an understaffed post office would greatly benefit from) and drove 7 towns and 1 state away for the closest one.

It was even more unwise that I first thought. I stood there for like 40 minutes while the one cashier checked out maybe 4 people. Didn't help that the first one had like 6 packages, most of which were international. The shopping fee for one was more than I have spent on clothes in a year or two.
