in the post office
« 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.
