Title: in the post office
Post by: Andy B on 01 June 2010, 18:18:50
So ...... there I was stood in the local Post Office with a newly printed off MOT certificate & reminder in hand waiting to tax SWMBO's Smart. There was a bloke in front of me at the counter doing the same and then a 40something woman came in behind. As I stepped forward to the counter when the bloke in front had finnished, the woman behind me stepped up the side of me & said ..... 'can I be rude, I only want some cash, can I go next?' (how does that work anyway?  :-/) My reply was ..... 'I only want to tax my car  ::) You'd have thought I'd have told her to f*** off! She then stood & called me rotten  ;D ;D As I said then said to her, she was right about being rude & the usual routine was to wait your turn.
When I had my tax disc, I said to her .... 'right then, next please!'  :y  :y  :y  :y
How did she think it was OK to ask to push in, or that her time was more precious than mine  :-/ - I might have been on my dinner hour for all she knew, she might have been cos she was wearing her M&S joacket

I'd have kicked her in the front. ;D

My first choice rhymed with front but Jaime didn't like it. ;D

Post offices are usually in town centres, not knowing your area.... but I would have said 'what's wrong with the cash machine down the road?'

Ainsworth's Post Office is one of the few 'village' post offices left.  ;)

At one time in life Tunnie there was a post office in every village, but slowly and surely they have been squezed out.

Only the larger village ones offered tax disks, but a lot of the stuff has been moved to online services, all the big shops sell stamps.

It was Tesco that did for ours. Took over the village shop with promises to keep the post office, then replaced it with a chiller cabinet full of ready meals and Ginsters rubbish. >:(
