Today while dropping off 5 regular USPS Ground Advantage packages at the post office, I got a really pissy lady at the counter who, after asking me the standard questions of "Anything liquid, perishable, fragile, or any lithium batteries?", when I said no, she acted like she didn't want to believe me and told me:

"I can legally open these and check you know".

I said whatever, and she then just gave me my drop off receipt and put the packages in the back, as normal.

I know for Media Mail they can open the packages to make sure the stuff inside qualifies (books, cds, etc), but I think they usually look via XRAY.

For regular mail though, can they really open any package they feel like opening?

When I go to look at my star rating in my profile, it shows nothing and has a message saying when I get 10 ratings they will show. I have about 66 deliveries so far and I don’t do rides, only UberEats. Do customers really not rate with the star ratings that much?

I realized today that I did that twice by accident. I was just not thinking.
