Sometimes they'd use the old 'but the employees told me' trick ~ alas that doesn't work with me. They'll drop a dime on a customer in a second ~ 'cause we got ways of watching them work ~ and will instantly refer inquiries about 'how much yo got in yo cash drawer boy' questions to somebody who is NOT sitting at a desk!
Did you see the guy with the gun?
Much of your difficulty is you asked a question that didn't trigger the response you think you wanted ~ ...... bet they've got your picture too.
“Much of your difficulty is you asked a question that didn’t trigger the response you think you wanted”
My bad. I thought “I’d like to cash this USPS money order” was the code. I must not have used the right handshake.
“bet they’ve got your picture too”....Thanks for the inside baseball. I had no idea that we lived in a 24/7 surveillance world. There’s probably a camera taping me while I’m crawled under that rock.
“Did you see the guy with the gun?” No. Next time I’ll walk behind the counter and go look for him. But, yes, I am very much impressed.
“cause we got ways of watching them work” - I have been involved in the design of a post office. I may not know how to cash a flipping money order, but I am aware of the viewing gallery. I am impressed that you have knowledge in both areas.
Now this is where the free market comes in...and maybe a glimpse into why the Post Office is insolvent. I will never, ever, under any circumstance, not in a million years, accept a USPS money order again. Now I know it was all my fault for not knowing how to crack the safe or low crawl around the guy with the gun...but still I’m going to shy away. And, quite frankly, I tell everybody I can to avoid them like the plague.
Aaaand...since I did such a poor job of procuring customer satisfaction for myself, I avoid the USPS at all costs. Electronic banking all the way, Fed-Ex for packages, e-mail relatives, the works. I haven’t bought a stamp in years. Once again, I know this is all the result of my own foolishness.
