I have found that each post office has its own 'flavor'. Best to make friends with each of the workers at your favorite post office - shoot the crap about nothing in particular. If they are still anal about ridiculous things, use a different post office.
I used to go to the lower Queen Anne post office in Seattle, and I'm happy to state publicly on this forum that they were the most ridiculous USPS employees to deal with ever: I had a package get bumped out of a service class for 1/2 inch of extra girth. A different worker would not insure a package I was trying to ship in a recycled USPS triangular box, because it had a couple of bent places on it. But I kept returning until the general rudeness overwhelmed me. Everyone there acted like they hated their jobs.
