Public Sector

My wife went to the post office to get stamps and noted that the line extended to the entrance because only one postal worker was working at the counter. The postal worker called several times for more help, but did not receive help until much time had passed. My wife remarked that this is an example of why the U.S. Post Office is losing money. I think this is also an example of government indifference to the needs of customers. I'm not saying all government employees are indifferent (I used to be a government worker after having served in the military). But there does on occasion appear to be a difference between private sector and government employees in the promptness of meeting the needs of customers.
