United States Post Racket

Usually I try to have my posts be more than a complaint. Usually.

Is anyone else out there getting totally taken by the post office? Now that I don’t live close to my family I mail my presents (probably like many people). Yesterday I got suckered into the “if it fits, it ships” only to have the droopy guy working the counter say “you would have saved money if you had bought your own box and sent it priority mail.” He mentioned that as he was taking my money and wrapping my package with tape like a mummy.

Today I thought I had their number so I purchased my own boxes and pranced up there to pay for shipping only to have the little chipmunk say I would have been better off putting my packages in one of those prepaid shipper dealies.

Anyone else feeling smothered by the Holiday Spirit?
