Snarky Postal Workers

♥ Comments (7) ♥

Does anyone remember my run in with the tape nazi’s at the portage post office in december? for some reason i can’t get a link to my post, but it’s in december 06 just click it ont he left and scroll down a little. I want to tell y’all what happened when i was in the post office today. I waitied in line, because i had a global priority package and UNFORTUNEATLEY i can’t mail it out from the kiosk. I say that because i’d RATHER deal witht he kiosk than these smart-asses. Anyways...i’m paying and i hear a woman get off the phone and tell the other 3 teller’s “I KNEW IT HOBART DOES NOT HAVE TAPE OUT!!!” She sounded like a 5 year old on the playground doing something in a sing-songy way of i’ve told you so. So the tellers start talking about a man who had left the office 10 min ago. He apaprently asked for a piece of tape (not the roll) and they told him what they told me..no you can buy a roll for 5$. And he apparently said well Hobart (town that is 10 min away) has some tape out for people to use, why don’t you? SO THESE POSTAL TELLERS CALLED THE OFFICE ONCE HE LEFT TO PROVE HIM WRONG, THEN MAKE FUN OF HIM FOR 10 MIN IN FRONT OF THE ENOURMOUS LINE. Seriously folks...they had NOTHING better to do...like GET RID OF THE GINORMOUS LINE OR MAIL SOME STUFF.
So i’m about done i’m gtting myr eceipt and i’m pissed at them for being so snarky and mean spirited to EVERYONE about it. So i say rather loudly so everyone can hear...a simple truth.

Jen: Well the IRVING PARK post office in CHICAGO OFF OF CLARK STREET has 3 or 4 tape dispensers out. With all kinds of tape. AND IT’S RATHER NICE ACTUALLY. You don’t have to ask the TAPE NAZI’S for some and start world war III.

Postal worker with bad limp hair: Holding up a roll of “priority” packaging tape says: was the “free” tape this kind??

Jen: no they have masking tape, clear tape, and packaging tape.

Postal worker with limp hair: we’re “NOT ALLOWED” to have tape out

Jen: well it’s so nice to just grab a little piece when you need it and not be harassed by snarky postal workers

Jen grabs zander and leaves while postal worker with limp hair is still yelling about how they aren’t “allowed” to give tape out

I am POSITIVE they made fun of me for the next 10 min.

ok so what gives? is tape dangerous? DANGER! DANGER! NO TAPE FOR YOU! i mean the worst i can see is that you get some stuck to your nose and then your forehead and walk around with a “pig nose” all day. But still...those people need new intresting jobs or just something to do instead of just pissing me off.
