So I arrive at the post office bright and early this morning at 8:05 with invites in arms. I was the only customer in there so I asked the PO person to please hand cancel my invitations. The conversation goes like this:
PO Person: Chuckles and says oh these do not have to be hand stamped.
Me: I hear they get mangled when they are run through the machine.
PO Person: No they will be fine.
Me: Well I would really like them hand canceled, as you can see I have less than 50 invitations.
PO Person: Do you know how long it would take us if we hand canceled every piece of mail?
Me: Sir I understand what you are saying but understand that while this may seem like an annoying request to you, it is a special time for the person making the request and we only want things to be just right. I don't believe you get these requests all day every day so I would really appreciate it if you would hand cancel these as I am entitled to request as such.
PO Person: Fine ok I will do this for you.
And he reluctantly proceeds to start hand stamping and says I'm all set. So I say thank you, I appreciate it, have a nice day and turn and walk out. Why do I think that as soon as I left he chucked the rest through the machine.
Dude really? How hard is it, there was not one other person in the PO! Honestly, I get lame requests in my job too but I do them and don't whine about it. Do your job bro!
End of rant.
Invites are out! Yay!
