Nonsense.... I know it fits your narrow world view but it is flat out wrong. Maybe the workers are willing to work for peanuts.

Oh well if you say so, Afrique. Your complex understanding of how the USPS increasingly circumvents federal pay scales in order to hire nincompoops who will accept legumes as compensation is enough for me to take your word for it.

#3 - The only way to get tracking on first class packages is to purchase the postage online. Since you said in the very beginning you don't like to buy your postage online, sorry but you do not get tracking by using just stamps. Postal worker is right when they say you need to pay for Priority Mail to get tracking, or certify your first class STAMPED package at the post office.
True. I find registered, return receipt fine for important things. But one has to admit, OP is funny by using the characterization "LUMPY". Would make for a good stand-up comedy skit.

Finally! Someone with a sense of humor who appreciates the Seinfeld like position these USPS rules put us in.
