The USPS

I use the flat rate boxes, everything is tightly packed with prepaid computer generated labels that are unwrinkled and taped nicely on.

That is my exact point. There are a lot of stupid people around. You found one who happened to work for USPS. I can tell you that good postal employees are just as frustrated with the bad ones as you are. If we see someone doing something incorrectly we tell them about it; and if they keep doing it we tell the supervisor. Although usually I would put in terms like, "Newman doesn't seem to know how to handle registered mail. Perhaps you could go over the procedures with him."

Want to either balance the budget or improve postal service?

Charge $1 for every piece of junk mail.
That is what, 90% of the USPS's volume?

How many trees, ergo, more help with the environment would that be?

Problem is if she worked for anyone other than a state government or federal she either shapes up or gets fired. I would not say she is stupid, she just makes no effort to learn her job, doesn't care and is extremely lazy. Her poor job performance is no secret. The post office in the other direction is run by a lady that that would probably be stretching it to call her average intelligence. Everyone is perfectly happy with her, including me. She is always helpful, courteous and if she doesn't know the answer she will call someone who does.
