I feel compelled to defend Gracie Post Office. I have had consistently efficient and pleasant interactions with the staff. Many have been there for years and know their customers by name. Yes, sometimes service is slow due to understaffing -- but that's not the workers' fault. Any time I have had delivery problems, they are quick to resolve them and point me to the correct people (say, at the central FDR station) if they can't. So please consider my vote of support in this barrage of criticisms.
