Over the weekend, I tried to mail a bunch of CDMOM discs. I went to the post office and stood in line for about 25 minutes. When I got to the front of the line, with three Target bags filled with about 80 mailers, the postman said to me:
“Sorry, but we won’t be able to take those.”
Excuse me? All he had to do is put the metered postage stickers on them.
“Sorry, but that would take too long.”
Take too long? I couldn’t stop thinking: Is this not the post office? The place one goes to mail things? I’ve got some experience in mailing lots of little packages — it might have taken seven or eight minutes.
Instead, he sold me about 350 stamps, which I had to go back home to apply one by one.
This is both an ill-considered plea for sympathy and an alert that all of this month’s mixes are finally out the door. Which means I can finally unveil the October mix’s contents.

My response to the lazy bastard would have been, “I’d like to speak to the postmaster. Now, if you please.”
josh-
i feel your pain brother. and i must apologize for that lazy sack o’ sheit @ the post office. what ever happened to customer service? and the postmaster wonders why folks prefer FEDEX and UPS…
p.s.- i do feel sympathy towards you and i thank you for this months mix..it looks like a winner.
You should have said, “I’m sorry, but I’m paying you to put postage on whatever I want to mail seeing as how I’m the customer and it’s your fucking *job* – Now get stamping”
i like liz’s response….. 🙂
