If more than one customer was waiting at her counter, she would not serve anyone that did not line up in a straight (and I mean STRAIGHT!) line! (...so, we all did!) Another time I was mailing two very large parcels back to the States. She quoted my fee, and I tried to pay her with a twenty dollar bill. She hollered back that I had to leave and come back with smaller bills because she had no change! (...so, I did!) It was scary enough to even enter that little building, let alone wonder about the rest of the mail system! HA! The Virgin Island Way: I remember the cranky postmistress in Cruz Bay in the 1970′s.

I thought I heard a story about the mail system to get more efficient? I thought they fixed this, or, going to fix it? I thought I heard a story about the mail system to get more efficient?
