I was just finally winding down when I wrote that letter. I had gone to the PO this morning to mail something to my sister in AK, and I had printed the label at home. I didn't attach it to the package because I wanted to see how much it was without the bar code.
After waiting 20 minutes for a clerk, he said it would be $9. I said, "How much if I cut off the bar code?" He said, "You can't cut off the bar code."
I looked at him, smiled, cocked my head and said, " I printed it, and I can cut it." I took it, tore it up and left it on the counter, saying, "Thanks for your time," and walked out.
