As awkward as the PCT wave might be for postmasters, it would be even  
stranger for them not to accommodate it. If you view them as  
government employees, then they are supposed to serve the public.
If you view them as corporate employees, then they are supposed to  
serve the customer. Anyway you look at it they really shouldn't be  
responding by discouraging the use of their services.

That being said, I think hikers should be thankful and appreciative  
of the post offices and the postal employees along the trail.
