PO "Oh, sorry, we can't do that"... Why?? "Because the stickers we print have dates, and a 'to and from' post code..."

Yes, but the date is irrelevant, and so is the post code as it's a standard rate.. please print three so I don't need to line up again.

PO "Nope, can't... If I print 3 now and you use them later they will not go through".. we don't make the rules..

Hmmm stamps have no date, nor do they have post codes. If I find old stamps they are still worth the same face value. If price goes up I'll just add an extra 20c or 10c stamp to bridge the difference..

PO "No, we can sell you a $5, then a $1.80 stamp then three 5c stamps... Oh, hang on, we are out of 5c stamps, I can sell you a 20c stamp but then it will be over 5c..."

Forget it... I'll just line up next time again for you to print another sticker....

PO "Sorry mate, they will be rejected if I print out extra today"..

Funny that, the people who looked after this place prior to you taking over had no issue printing out a few at a time, and they all got sent even if it was weeks after it was printed and to a totally different state...

No reply to that one worth printing....

Bwah Bwah Hah........."who's on first"!
