A while back I went to the Post Office for stamps so that we could send out that weeks invoices. In our Post Office there is a stamp vending machine just inside the lobby. Which is very convenient, pop in a $5 $10 or $20 and get your stamps from the bottom and your out the door. Simple! As soon as I entered, and before I approached the machine I noticed a line of 6 people on the right side of the counter with one lady serving them. I popped in my $10 into the machine,,, friggen thing ate it! No stamps! I went to the other lady behind the counter, explained that the machine ate my $10. She hands me this form to fill out and told me to stand in that line ( pointing to the line on the right ) After I filled out the form, and took my place in line. I notice that the gentleman in front of me had a similar form, and the lady in front of him had one also. A quick survey and I discovered that everyone in that line lost $$ to that damn machine. Just as i took my place another person walked in and up to the machine. I said to her "that machine eats money". She thanked me, went to the lady on the other side of the counter, got her stamps and got out. I suggested to the lady who was working on the line I was in that a sign would be a good idea. To which she replied "sir, i am far to busy to post a sign!" What What What! Another fellow walked in, and up to the machine. I seen the lady watch him, everyone in the line was watching this lady watch him as he went to the machine. Nothing was said. Damn thing ate his money too. The other lady hooked him up with a form and he took his place in line. I said to the lady behind the counter "a post it would help!" To which she politely replied "sir! cant you see this line! It keeps getting longer! I have no time for post-its or sign making!" What the???!!!! There was all kinds of grumbling coming from the line. It was moving painfully slow. Another person came in, went to the machine. Everyone watched including my sweetheart behind the counter. Nothing was said, money was eaten, form handed out and she took her place in line. I very politely, just as nicely as i could, told her "mam, you are gonna get alot busier if you dont get your butt out from behind the counter and hang a post-it!" She started to say something smart and the fellow in front of me cut her off, and with a string of obscenities that was almost poetic in nature says "look you stupid fucking lazy meatbag, hang a fuckin sign!" this was edited btw
