Dear…
♥ Comments (1) ♥
Dear Chicago Post Office Lady,
Please do not assume that everyone needs you to tell them how to read the screen and then touch the answer on the pay by credit/debit kiosk at the post. Please DO NOT come up to me yelling NO NO NO!!! when i tld the screen i had a flat rate ENVELOPE yelling at me t choose “OTHER” packaging. I told her this is an envelope, she still insisted it was “other” packaging. I picked it up and pointed to the red circle ont he envelope that says FLAT RATE ENVELOPE. she then says oh i thought it was for the one in your hand that is in a tyvek envelope. I said the one in my hand isn’t being weighted and paid for, please leave me alone to do this quickly thanks. I am not a moron and can read the screen and answer the questions and since i do this strictly for our shop, i can do it rther quickly.
You are just slowing me down and making ther people wait.

This scenario was quickly followed by her pointing out to me on the tyvek envelopes i address my customers on the WRONG side and from now on to put it on the other side. Which results in this....
Dear Portage, Indiana Post Office,
Thank you for being so nice MOST of the time. But when i ask NICELY for one...just ONE SMALL piece of packaging tape, please do not hold up a roll and say NO BUT YOU CAN BUY THIS FOR 4$. I only needed one small piece. You are not very helpful and that was lame and your small priority stickers just did the purpose i needed, a small piece of something sticky, and it was free.
Also after now addressing my customers on the OTHER SIDE of the package as directed by the Irving Park CHicag Post Office, the Portage IN office points out to me that the address should be on the OTHER SIDE where I ORGINALLY was putting it.
What gives?

Just a note. I will be closing down the shop Dec 21st in the evening. I know there is a holiday charity drive that will be starting with The Sweet Mary Jane Pattern and all, but frankly I cannot check in with every person as easily as i would need to while in Philly. So I have to apologize and close the shop down until Dec 28th when i return. So anyone wanting to purchase the pattern to donate to Dctors without Borders, if you want to order it between these dates please check back. I try to keep a high level of customer service, checking to make sure each pattern is received, then paypalling the cash to erin and i just can’t do this to the extent i normally do while traveling. So i apologize. But after the 27th please buy the pattern and know the money is going to an extrmely good cause. I will do a better post about it when erin gives me a better idea of what to say.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Thanks for all the nice messages, I liked reading my email on breaks from moving. Nathaniel got the ok to move at 10am saturday. Thing was they never told him it would be coming. So nothing was packed up. He was moving upstairs in his building to a larger apt. So for two days we carried everything he owned up some steps. Now i think my arms and legs want to fall off.
