Why are postcards so hard to come by? Post office didn't have any. Walmart didn't have any. Guess I'm buying some off Amazon.

The *post office* didn't have postcards? That's bizarre.
Did you try a drugstore, convenience store or book store? Around here you can get postcards in those places. (Of course, around here you can get postcards at the post office.)
Or where's your nearest tourist destination? You usually don't have to pay the entrance fee to go into the gift shop.
Or buy a greeting card and cut off the front, if you can find one with a picture you like.

Barnes & Noble carries them. You might also try drug stores or Target. (I had the same trouble when I had a friend visiting me last summer - she wanted to mail postcards to people, and we went looking all over to find them.)

truck stops tend to have them, not sure how useful that is, but another place to look.

Check out a gift shop or a shop that caters to travelers?

It seems weird that the Post Office didn't have post cards though...

The post office didn't have any? Did you try asking at the counter? They weren't pretty, but I bought some pre-stamped ones for USPTO paperwork at the end of 2011 that way.

Not where I live. They're everywhere. But then, I live in a tourist town, so maybe that's why.
