You might think: “Ah, but the Post Office inside the supermarket—that’s surely a loophole!” Nope. Even the in-store counters (the ones run by staff in blue uniforms) typically follow the same holiday schedule as the main branch. If the supermarket is open, the Post Office counter might be locked tighter than a Christmas turkey.
Remember: supermarkets are greedy—they want your cash on holidays. The Post Office? It wants its employees to have a lie-in. So unless the entire store is closed (which rarely happens), assume the counter is off-limits.
