So, I just spent about an hour and 20 minutes at the Newark Post Office, taking notes on the lines. Here’s some of the basic information:
Time of arrival: 11:20 AM
Number of Customers in line at arrival: 7
Number of Postal Workers at Counter: 2
Number of customers who got in line between 11:20 AM and 12:40 PM: 55
Number of people who walked in, but left before being served: 15
Average number of Postal Employees at Counter: 1.3 (normally just one handling postal matters while another handled passports and occasionally another would call out for anyone who did not have to pay for anything)
Average number of people in line: 11 (as few as 7, as many as 15)
