I used to be an auditor for the Postal Service. Your story reminds me of two incidents.
One was a postmaster back in the woods who was in trouble for all sorts of other things that were going on. Among the things we found as we tried to sort out the mess were some UPS packages on the shelves, waiting for PO Box customers to pick them up. Maybe they have some new arrangement now, but the rule in those days was if it was in a post office for delivery it had better have postage on it.
The other, I was in a post office to do the on-site part of a postmaster's annual evaluation. About mid-way through, I hear a roll-up door and look out the window. There's two UPS delivery trucks out in the post office yard, backed up to each other and swappin' off parcels. I asked the postmaster about that. She allowed as it happened most days and that they were really nice guys. I went out and explained to them that if the yard at the UPS terminal wasn't big enough for their trucks, they needed to get with a more reputable outfit. It was an amicable discussion up the point one of 'em piped up and started giving me this line about how the post office was public property and they could do anything they wanted there. I allowed as how it wasn't public, it was government property, with a dedicated purpose that did not include providing yard and terminal workspace to private enterprises, and they had a choice -- they could find some other place do their work in or I could impound their trucks until everything in them had been weighed and the postage calculated and paid. So they went over and clogged up the parking lot at the town office.
