Is there anything more irritating by missing a deadline by a few minutes? Today I spent some time wrapping up 2 big boxes to mail to a friend. Then loaded them into the truck. And then finally headed out to the post office, thinking the counter would be open til 5pm. We got there at 4:38, only to find out they shut down the service counter at 4:30 sharp daily. And of course, the boxes are WAY too big for me to use the self service kiosk.
On top of it, I had to mail a deposit to my credit union and invites for Catherine’s party. They HAD to go out today. I didn’t have change for the stamp machine, so I attempted to use the kiosk to print out the stamps. Nope - it had to be a minimum of 50 cents per item I was mailing in order to do that. To get the three stamps I needed, I had to buy a whole book of stamps from the kiosk. What are the chances I’ll use the rest of those by Monday when the price of postage goes up?
How come the price of stamps keeps going up, but the level of service keeps going down?
