Out of towners,
Is your post office better?
In Athens the post office has chairs and uses a number system to call next customer --- the PO does mail as u would expect -- it also sells phone cards - pay electric bills -- pay phone bills, water bills etc. --it is also a bank -- in this country many are on a cash system and do not pay by credit card -- i try to stay away from it---- also no such thing as a letter box to receive mail in apt. building , postman leaves the "buildings" mail in a bundle outside of main entrance and anyone picks it up and looks for own mail , you find out a lot about a person just looking at his unopened mail that is why i use a p.o. box
when I compare Athens with NY post offices -- about same except greater chance to run into a lazy or nasty person in ny
