VENT!
Positive: Invitations are out.
Negative: I went to the post office on Friday with a complete invitation to ask them how much postage I need on them. The gentlement weighed it and told me $0.61. Great. I confirm that there is no extra charge to hand cancel. Great. I confirm that there is no other additional charge. Great.
I would like to buy postage. He tells me that they don't have the $0.61 stamps there but I can try another post office 20 miles away. Ok fine. Saturday I find them at a post office 5 miles from home. Score!
Present day - I go in today with all invites stamped and request to mail them and have them hand cancelled. The woman tells me that there is an extra fee because they are non machinable. I tell her I was in on Friday to confirm the cost and a gentleman told me that it was $0.61. She laughs and tells me they have no males working there! WTH! I proceeed to tell her that he was standing in the very spot she was. She insists they have no "gentleman" mocking the work I used. I insist that he was a very short asian man. She then says, "Ooooh, Danny. He barely ever works he doesn't know." Ummmm, well then why the f!
@* was he working the counter! The manager comes out, I'm pissed after having tracked down the stamps I need so that I didn't have to place a zillion ugly stamps on each envelope to be told that not only do I have to put an extra $0.20 on each but that they only have $0.44 cent stams so I'll have to pay over double. All this because of the adhesive from the Michaels invites that attaches the invite to the pocketfold. Not the extra monogram I used or having thick paper....no, the adhesive. I HATE THEM!
