When customers come into my store and only ask "Do you charge more than the post office?"
It costs me more to take the time to explain it than just to say Get out.
Well, mam the PO is the only shipper that doesn't lower their prices like UPS and Fedex so shops can compete. So if you ship with UPS or Fed I can get you a better deal. With the PO a stamp costs me the same as it does you so therefore we have to charge about $2 more on a package so that we actually make some kind of profit. (customer gets huffy) And actually we have to rent their equipment which costs us extra and buy their approved postage ink for the stamps which costs $90 a cartrige, and then there's all the time I just wasted talking to you, somebody has to pay me for that. So when it costs X at the PO you are paying for their service and the employee there and their electricity. If you're paying the same thing here, I'm sure they appreciate it, but who's going to pay my f-ing rent?
What was that?
M-kay you have fun driving to and then waiting in line for 30 minutes to save those 2 bills. You spending them here would've actually cost me more in the long run anyway.
