Update from a blue state post office: All my customers wear masks (at least over their mouths......). They all stay at least 4-5 feet apart. We have 2 ft wide plexiglass sheets in front of us that customers usually don't lean around to talk to us. (1)
But everyone's coming in. The holidays are coming, and presents are starting to be sent out. We are now seeing the same amount of customers and business we usually see in a non-pandemic year.
Things aren't better, friends. We're not winning. (2)

Cases here are up to April levels, and judging by the wastewater. testing, they're going to get worse. To those of you still limiting your trips out, wearing masks over your noses, and stepping away from the counter when you can, THANK YOU. (3)
To the rest of my customers: I'm not expendable. When you see the "ONLY TWELVE PEOPLE IN THE LOBBY AT ONCE" sign, count me in that number. We may be employees, but we're still people and we deserve to be kept safe. (4)
Wear your mask over your nose. Don't come in if you've got a cough. Stay six feet apart in line, and stay behind the glass.
And most importantly, if you don't HAVE to come to the post office.... just don't! You can just not. (5)

Because some people have to come in. Folks without bank accounts who have to make money orders to pay their bills. People picking up medicine that can't be delivered safely. And, oh yeah, the folks who WORK HERE. (6)
So do me a favor: pretend it's April, and you're not allowed out except for emergencies. This year isn't the year to spend fifteen minutes hemming and hawing over which christmas stamps to buy. This is the year to buy them online instead of breathing on my counter. (7)
Remember how much we all loved the post office for a month this summer? Let's try getting a little of that energy redirected back to KEEPING US SAFE.

(Although hot tip for retail friends: I have discovered that if you smile and say “could you cover your nose? That’s where the germs come out” 80% of the time they’ll laugh and fix their mask
I really don’t feel like joking about it, but hey, whatever works, I guess)
