Slow people at the post office

Every time I need to mail something no one else seems ready to go but me. The last few times it's always someone sending mail to China and they bitch that they have fill out customs info. The postal worker can not enter the Chinese letters into the system which upsets the old lady. People walk up the counter with open boxes wanting to know how much it would cost to mail it. They want every option and each one is too expensive. "In 1980 you wanted $2 to have it there overnight". Well grandpa many things have changed since 1980. The whole thing just seems inconsiderate to me. Do some basic prep work like packing the item and checking prices online.

 

This sort of thing used to bother me. But now I see it as an exercise in learning patience.

 

I always seem to get stuck at an ATM behind people who have never used an ATM before

And I always wonder, who the fuck are these people?

 

i think people have just learned to accept that if you're going to the post office, you need to plan on spending the day there. so nobody has any expectations of getting in and getting out, and therefore nobody feels bad about taking forever to do a simple task there.

interestingly enough, my friend actually sent me a picture just today of the person in front of him in line at the post office, who literally had a trash barrel full of packages to mail out. yes, an actual 32 gallon garbage receptacle, overflowing with packages.

that's the self checkout for me. granted, most cashiers i see can't use a scanner and bag your groceries either, but goddamn it's frustrating standing in line behind someone who is buying 3 things for 15 fucking minutes.

 

Kramer was right years ago. No one needs the mail. If you don't use Amazon and pay bills online all USPS brigs you is junk mail. It was a joke in the 90's now it's reality.

 

One in a hundred and ten people die every year,
Some while waiting in line at the post office.
Many die, as they have always lived,
Determined to play out their part,
Ignoble, right up to the end.​

 

I was thinking exactly the same thing regarding self-checkout at the grocery store.

Standing in-line behind fools who don’t know what they’re doing, and when there’s an error and the cashier assistance light begins to blink, they just stand there like idiots
instead of seeking out assistance

 

Service is always about what you can afford. One bank in Chicago has a full time psychologist on hand to console their ten million dollar depositors on their bad fortune. The post office is for the peasants, who even attack bus drivers for not providing the service they demand.

 

With all due respect, considering the high cost of food these days (I can’t remember the last time going to the grocery store and spending less than $50 dollars) usually much more,
we should be treated like Gods

 

LOL, Gods who almost always vote for whoever advertises the most or whichever clown screams the loudest, while shopping at Walmart for low-as-you-can-go prices. Trampling each other on Black Friday. Chickens are the masters of acting indignant, precisely because the lights are always left on, but nobody is ever home.

 

OK that’s cryptic enough to almost make sense

 

There's simply no pleasing the mindless mob,
Constantly demanding they have their cake and eat it too,
Complaining nonstop about the slightest problem with the service,
Sometimes even breaking out automatic weapons.
That's why its illegal to throw money in the streets,
Because thinking was never their strong point.
Industry calls it, "The Motel Syndrome",
Where one in a hundred is surefire trouble,
Prepared to trash everyone and the entire place.
The more idiots that all collect in the same place,
The more outrageous their behavior inevitably becomes.
Fake news can't actually be fake if nobody knows the difference.

 

I'm the worst customer at the PO because I go in there to complain. and I gives not one hoot about anyone waiting in line either.

 

Socialism in action.

 

Nope. Don't need to politically label my actions. I don't get my fast post in the allotted time frame they gone know about it.

Oh yes I get the shits lol. I don't live in metropolis, but allotted time frame is still allotted time frames. And I'm paying for them.

 

And ensuring it takes more than one guy to screw in a light bulb.

 

Ywah maybe, something like that.

 

The hardest business anyone will ever conduct, is with themselves.

 

Not when the customer is always right.

 

Only the most demanding customers are always right, even when they shoot themselves in the foot.
