I guess I am the odd man out, I have an absolutely wonderful clerk at my local PO. She will check the different methods to be sure I am using the best method. She has never complained about the tape, even told me that the actual rules don't say anything about using tape. But I live in a small town and so she is not usually dealing with lines of people so can take the time to help each one. I also do what I can to help her out. She is not allowed to order some of the flat rate items that I can order online. So I order her what she needs and drop it off next time in go by (which is often since it is a half mile from my home).
