Dear People of America -
I have a request. When you wish to send someone a gift for their birthday, by all means feel free to do so. Buy them something nice. Wrap it up in pretty paper and tie a bow on top. At this point in the process, whatever you do, DO NOT PROCEED TO THE POST OFFICE WITH NOTHING BUT THE WRAPPED GIFT! It is not the responsiblity of the postal employee to find you a box or other package in which to mail said gift. Nor is it their job to find you tape and scissors with which to continue the wrapping process. Borrowing a pen is bad enough but let's come a little prepared here people. And let me just say that if you do come to the post office - totally unprepared - and expect the postal worker to do your job - just to be told that you need to do things for yourself - and you leave the line with your gift to package it up properly - DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SKIP BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE! The rest of us came prepared and had to wait while you were given all the packing materials you needed that you should have USED AT HOME! Get in the back of the line and wait your turn again! You've already caused enough trouble. True story. I'm just sayin'.
I don't think we penpallers would ever do that. We go to the post office so many times a month, we understand its working better than its workers.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess we just have to take it from the lazy e-mailers that come to our territory once in a while. :P
