Postal Lessons

I am really not sure what can be done about my issue but I just have to express my shock. I am amazed at college students that do not know how to mail letters. I don't mean put a stamp and address an envelope though I am sure there are some students who do not but...last week I walked in to the PO to get my work's mail and this girl was on a cell phone standing in front of the mail slot saying..."I don't know which one to put it in"...I at first thought she meant Metered versus stamped...a dilemma I could understand...Just as I was about to help her she said "I mean there is a small slot and then a big drawer." She could not understand that the drawer was for large volume while the slot was for one or two pieces. I turned my heels and went to my PO Box in disbelief. As I was walking away, she said to her friend on the cell phone. "I guess I will just go outside and mail it" This girl walked into the PO to mail a letter but because she could not decide whether to put it in the large or small slot she walked across the parking lot to put it in the outside bins.

I am sorry but that is not acceptable.

Thanks for letting me vent.
