People can have a bad day. People have the same stress and demands on them that I have. As such, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt if, for whatever reason, I have a bad experience with them.

However...

I have been going to my local post office for over ten years and I never fail to be amazed how little interest the people working there seem to have in providing even a modicum of customer service. Don't get me wrong; I am nowhere near expecting a smile, a kind word, or a thank you. I'd settle for the person who is helping to simply look at in my general direction while we were completing the transaction.

I am sure there are people with great post offices so I am not trying to make the blanket statement that all post offices are unpleasant.

However...

The post office does carry a general stereotype that one would think the post office would not necessarily want to perpetuate. Instead, the closest post office to me for miles seems like it wants to be the poster child for everything wrong with customer service.

Sadly, it seems my post office wants to be the poster child for everything that has gone wrong in terms of general decency in today's society.

Sad. ]]> FL Henry https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1169-The-Post-Office https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1161-500-Envelopes Sat, 04 Jun 2011 00:57:03 GMT I joined this forum over a year ago but after kind of looking around a bit I sort of faded away. About a week ago I stormed back with a vengeance. In the last week I've made about a 20 trades and I'm cruising.

For whatever reason I felt the need to buy 500 bubble envelopes. Since I bought in bulk the price per envelope is actually very cheap - like 7 cents per envelope. In the back of my mind I feel like I now have this unspoken commitment to see how quickly I can burn through all 500 in sales and trades.

I've also decided to make a run at a Tony Parker super collection. Why not, right? I have a decent start at it already and I did think highly enough to make my son's middle name Parker.

Anyway, I'll try to check back from time to time to leave a benchmark of how my 500 envelope quest is going... ]]> FL Henry https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1161-500-Envelopes
