Bustling Post Office in Little Saigon

Written by Pat's Papers | Monday, 1 October 2012 7:15 AM

The Post Office’s tough times have been the topic of many front page stories recently, which is why I found it heartening to read about a brach that’s actually doing well. The LA Times says the post office in Little Saigon has been bustling since the early 90s and still is. Mail is not the only business conducted, which perhaps explains the branch’s success: “Postal workers act as translators (‘Uncle, you cannot send packages labeled UPS’), advisors (‘Let me show you how you can save $2 for iced coffee’) and family friends (‘Seventh Sister, are you giving gifts to your daughter’s child? She didn’t graduate. How can she get into a good school?’).”
