The staff are the best part of the Pahoa Post Office! They do an incredible job within a horrible infrastructure. Every time I stand in line I marvel at how they don't "go postal" but instead keep on keeping on with kindness..

I agree, total saints or will be by retirement from dealing with the general delivery crowd.
HOWEVER, enter the drive thru mail drop lane at your own peril, it appears to be too sophisticated for some residents, similar to their problem with merging lanes. Enough locals think it means they can park there while going in and standing in line. When I asked a lady why she didn't keep driving with cars backed up behind her, she answered her kid was inside and everybody uses the drive thru as a loading/waiting zone. It's a bit hard to back out from there, but I've done it twice.
I love Puna and the Big Island yet think the greatest challenge here is not the Volcano or hurricanes, it's that a lot of folk need to get off the island every now and then to gain a greater perspective.
