*A stroller for Liam and a positive yet stern discussion to the kids about behavior at the post office=Thumbs up
*Waiting in line twice because the post office doesn't have their boxes stocked and then getting jilted on the cost of sending two small packages=A heavy most definitely thumbs down!!
I filled out the address labels and just had to toss stuff into their priority mail boxes and seal them up. Of course, no boxes available, so I had to stand in line to ask for a couple. I finally get to the front of our long line with only one cashier and he tells me to use a specific box to make it cheaper. That's nice. So I step aside, take about 60 seconds to fill the boxes and seal them, then look back at him hoping he will let me jump back in...No. He looks at the next person in line and calls them up. What a...jerk. So I get in line behind 8 people! And wait. Again. I get to the front and he acts surprised to see me. huh? Our post office is about as big as my living room. Plus I had three kids with me. AND someone commented on Liam's great lungs. (what can I say? I was venting my frustration through him)So I get back up there, and he says, "Oh, I thought this box was the cheaper one. It's actually twice as much. Sorry." Again..huh? He won't budge on the price. He asked if I wanted to rebox it, and I said, "well, I don't want to stand in line again." He just nods and says "oh, yah." What a...jerk. So I ended up paying a gazillion dollars to mail two small packages. Honestly, the postage costs more than what's inside. Hmph. Sorry, I had to vent for just a minute. Argh! Can you feel my pain? So needless to say, I will go to the UPS store by my house. I guess I'll add this to my list of "Things I've Learned the Hard Way". (I really do have a list called that.)
Thanks for reading and sympathizing with me. I just needed to let it all out and now I feel much better. ahhhh....now where was that little bag of chocolate in the freezer......

I'm waiting for your "things I've learned the hard way" list to post . . .and for the record I'll boycott our post office with you, they are devilish there I must agree.
And, shame on the 8 people in front of you for not insisting you go before them! I always defer to either the mom with little kids or to the really old people...I've been there...or I WILL be, one day! Have you looked at the USPS website? Is there a 'contact us' button? Probably not...they don't really want to hear it, but if they did, at least you could vent...
