So this is a bummer.
I went to the Post Office on Saturday and asked for the card I was mailing to be hand canceled. I was told that because of the recent layoffs and budget-trimming measures at the PO, hand canceling is, as of very recently, a thing of the past.
I was also told that if the worker you speak with agrees to hand cancel, they're just humoring you because they don't want a bridal meltdown.
I'm not trying to induce mass panic, just want you girls to be advised.
