nonnaB 4,895 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Can't guarantee it, I feel a mischievous mood coming on. Beware! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I feel even more mischievous and angry because this morning I went to post a package. The post office had 5 people already waiting to be served. I was there about 8.55 / 9.00 I came out in anger at 9.20 and hadn't been served. One assistant at the desk, every transaction is done by computer so each customer takes time. One customer was about to close her transaction when the assistant said " don't worry I'll help you" she helped her with the cash point, ( ok very kind ) then she stopped to chat with her. 4 people waiting presumably all in a hurry. Then the next ones credit card wouldn't work, so cleaned and cleaned it . It eventually passed , then came all the palava with the computer by this time I was worried about an appointment I had at 9.30. Came out and went back later. Still 5 people waiting. All I had to do was hand over a prepaid package but you would have thought I was trying to draw unauthorized money out, the amount of paper work from computer. A 5 second transaction had taken 5 minutes. Oh for the PO service in UK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,730 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ahh but.. Nonna.. In the UK you'd have had to deal with the 97 old buggers who have been up since 4:00 a.m and queuing outside the P.P. since about 06:30.. in the full knowledge that it doesn't open till 9:00 am. In their twisted minds, being first in the queue, even if they have to be there 3 hours early.. saves them time.. Used to drive me mad when I needed to visit the P.O. on my way into work and still get there no later than 9:30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,510 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think our Post Office is really struggling now Nonna. A lot of big post offices have closed, including the main Nottingham one on Queen Street which has moved into WH Smith in Victoria Centre. I’ve only used it once since it went in there and there was no queue and I was served straight away. Unfortunately the letter I handed over hasn’t reached the recipient after 3 weeks. Admittedly it was going to Dominica in the West Indies but the person behind the counter told me it should take about 6 days. The item was an important document so I think we’ll be starting over again and this time we’ll use FedEx and pay about £60 for the service. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,138 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 You want to try Fiskerton post office. Some dozy person behind the counter and the locals are in there just for a chat. Lowdham, on the other hand is quite efficient. Might be worth the trip! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Sounds like the post here Lizzie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 If it wasn't for delivering junk mail I doubt there would be much for the P O to do here. A personal card or letter is pretty much a thing of the past except for the odd birthday or Christmas card Quote Link to post Share on other sites
