Alright, I have been shipping tons of stuff over the past 6 months. Most of the time I use Priority or even EMI for international orders. Recently I started to sell bulk media (games) and packing it in boxes. The weight ranges from 8-12lbs.
So I have been going to the PO everyday this week and it's the same 4 clerks asking me:
them: "hi what can I do for you today"
me: "Media mail with Delivery Confirmation"
them: "what's in it"
me: "Games"
them: "what kind of games"
me: "video games"
them: "what else is in there"
me: "just video games and the boxes/manuals that go with them"
them: "you know your packages are subject to verification"
me: "that's fine..."
random clerk: "you know media mail is for books and media"
me: "yes I know."
them: "you know it."
me: "ok"
them: after asking again what's inside about another 12 times as I ship out a few packages. "would you like to buy some stamps today."
me: "NO I WOULDN'T LIKE TO BUY SOME FUCKING STAMPS YOU BASTARDS YOU SEE ME COME IN HERE 4X A WEEK AND WAIT IN LINE FOR A GODDAMN HOUR AND I ONLY SHIP HEAVY PACKAGES, WHY WOULD I WANT STAMPS?!!"
okay the last part may not have went down that way.
so everyday it's the same 3 clerks asking the same questions knowing it's me because they know it's me and I know it's them knowing it's me knowing they're asking the same questions. It's a very small branch and I'm definitely the highlight of their day. I'm not gonna slip up and say I'm shipping TV's. I'm getting tired of the 40 questions and the uncomfortable stares especially since I'm not doing anything wrong.
Maybe it's because once Mr. Adolphis Bell was off and I said "oh where is Mr. Bell, there is no line today!" because he moves slow as a snail.
I'd go to another PO but I'm going to keep going out of spite.
So how do I tell them to stfu politely so that my packages won't mysteriously disappear? If I was sitting behind a counter everyday making $30/hr with all benefits and job security, I wouldn't interrogate the customers who keep the PO alive.
I'm thinking of writing a letter.
