How do we love thee, post office…
Five bucks says you can’t name the postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service. But for a few brief moments last week, John E. Potter was like a rock star in San Jose.
Potter appeared on stage before a packed HP Pavilion during eBay Live, the San Jose company’s annual gathering of eBay members and employees. EBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman invited Potter onstage to discuss new shipping services available to eBay sellers.
To most people, mailing a package is about as interesting as running a load of laundry. To eBay sellers, mailing is their life. And anything anyone can do to make the chore easier is greeted with wild enthusiasm.
So when Potter took the stage, the crowd gave him a hearty ovation. And when Whitman asked the crowd after his talk, “How much do we love the Postal Service?” eBayers let it rip.
