Going postal

The US Postal Service sucks.

I’ve come to terms with the increased price of a postage stamp. I understand that stamp prices go up from time to time—that’s just the way life is.

But here’s what ticks me off: I just came back from the Post Office with a handful letters with 37-cent stamps on them. I couldn’t mail them because they were all out of 1- and 2-cent stamps!

Actually, the guy in front of me bought the last of the 1-cent stamps.

Seriously, they’ve known about the postage increase for how long and they couldn’t make sure every Post Office would have enough stamps?
