I really like those two photos. You could spend half an hour looking at them.
How did the driver climb up on the roof? Presumably he did it at just about every stop, multiple times a day. And if he's doing it that often, he has developed a routine. Is there a little step somewhere out of view? Surely he doesn't climb on the customer's luggage or on the parcels. Does he climb up the open rear door? The various window sills are certainly strong enough to use as steps and the running board gives him a little head start. I read somewhere that UPS drivers are taught how to climb into their trucks to be as efficient as possible. But I can imagine there are little foot holds bolted to the side of the car on the other side.
He pulled that car into that exact location, and has done so before. Why didn't he park a foot or two closer to the gas pump so he wouldn't have to bend awkwardly under the post office sign? Was that only to make it easier for the customers to get out the rear door? Or was he just not paying close attention to his driving?
Look at that luggage. Nice and strong and square for efficient stacking. Everything is soft ballistic nylon duffel bags now and wouldn't stack nearly as well.
Looks cramped and warm in that back seat. I bet it is a little smelly too.
