Which of the following is NOT an employee role associated with the retail counter?

The role of the Mailbox Technician is not associated with the retail counter operations. In the context of the USPS, the retail counter primarily involves functions relating to customer service, transactions, and the sale of postal products.

An LSSA (Lead Sales and Services Associate) is in charge of overseeing retail associates and ensuring customer service standards, while an SSA (Sales and Services Associate) directly interacts with customers at the counter, managing sales and services. A Postmaster, especially at smaller post offices, may also be involved in retail operations, overseeing the entire function, including staff and compliance with policies.

In contrast, a Mailbox Technician is often focused on the maintenance and management of mailboxes and related equipment rather than participating directly in customer-facing roles at the retail counter. Therefore, this role does not directly contribute to the functions typically performed at the retail counter, making it the correct choice in this context.
