to buy some forever stamps.

i went up to the stamp machine that sells every kind of stamp
"sorry, this machine has been scheduled to be taken out of service June 1, 2008. please call this number to find the next nearest location."

looked at the one next to it, same kind of machine but only sells a few kinds. of stamps.
"sorry, this machine has been scheduled to be taken out of service June 1, 2008. please call this number to find the next nearest location."

went over to the little one that only sells 42c stamps.
"sorry, this machine has been scheduled to be taken out of service June 1, 2008. please call this number to find the next nearest location."

wtf? the post office stopped selling stamps?
no fucking way i'm standing in line for 8 hours to get some stamps

so i went to the grocery store.

but seriously? why would they do that?

cost of production exceeds the demand?

ronmcdon · 06-03-2008, 01:20 AM

because they suck.

I've actually never had any luck with those damn stamp machines. come to think of it, I've yet to see one that works. I think they're just some sort of in-store ornament for decorative purposes.

When I need stamps, I just pay a friend who has a wells fargo checking account. he can buy stamps directly from his atm. that's the most hassle free way of buying stamps I know of anyhow.

edit:

Andrew Bohan · 06-03-2008, 01:26 AM

crazybb · 06-03-2008, 01:40 AM

Andrew Bohan · 06-03-2008, 01:50 AM

i like to go to the post office to drop off my boxes.
i can't drop off boxes at the liquor store or grocery store, so figured i'd buy some stamps while i was there, put one on my envelope, and mail that too.

but nooooo i have to go somewhere else first and then come back if i want to mail it that day. and be sure they get it. cuz i don't really trust random mailboxes on the sidewalk.

infinitexsound · 06-04-2008, 02:53 AM
