How does the rehab act apply. I looked but I think I missed something. Why doesn't the ADA apply to post offices?

For grins and giggles, while at the PO today, there was a plaque on the wall dedicating the PO to "Richard Nixon and to all whom enter this public place". They also had the good old "seeing eye dogs" only decal on the door.

I'm not sure of all the dirty details, but the ADA doesn't apply to Federal buildings (PO, federal courts, IRS buildings, etc...) but the Rehab Act does....and they mirror each other. It's just one more way for the government to confuse the common man.

I've changed post offices in plans for moving... and the new one had bad doors that didn't work well and an old half torn seeing eye dog decal. Now, after a month of my going to get my mail --though I know it has nothing to do with me-- both doors work well (power assist?) and the decal is a new service animal one.

BTW what I learned from my former postal clerk is that if you are handicapped you do not have to stand in line. You may move to the counter and tell them you are handicapped and would like to be served sooner. If it is a very short line and I'm having a half way decent day (or I wouldn't be doing stuff at PO anyway) I'll stay in line. But if I move ahead, I always smile and tell those I butted in line ahead of, thank you!
