S3E13 Uncle Joe Plays Post Office

Joe criticizes Sam's management of the post office, prompting Sam to let him take charge. Joe relocates the post office to the hotel’s front desk. Kate urges Joe to return the post office to Sam, advocating for his friend’s return to his duties. As Joe scrambles to gather necessary supplies, he resorts to seizing items under the guise of federal authority. Customers mistakenly approach the new setup as if it were still at Drucker's Store, seeking groceries instead. Chaos ensues, and eventually the Government intervenes, leading to the post office's return to Sam’s establishment.
