Purchasing Stamps @ Post Office: ACTION-PACKED ADVENTURE!!

[Theminecraftplayerdd]

Gah. I thought I heard the tornado siren outside in this video, made sure it wasn't me. So I paused 2 times to make sure it wasn't going off.

We have a siren that blasts on certain hours, like 6pm, 8am, and when there's a fire.

[Theminecraftplayerdd]

@georgef551 Was it?

[georgef551]

@Theminecraftplayerdd

Just a time announcement, I believe (don't remember, really, but likely).

[Theminecraftplayerdd]

@georgef551 I bet it's annoying.

[georgef551]

@Theminecraftplayerdd

Not really. We're so used to it.

When it's a fire signal, it does get annoying, especially when they blast it minutes on-end. (4 blasts, silence, versus using Code 3.)

I would LOVE it if someone would make a video of shipping a package and getting TRACKING INFORMATION. I have tried 3 times without success. Maybe after you make the video you could post it here as a video response to this video? Just a thought.

@davidtheatheist

I do all that stuff at work, via UPS.

Sorry.

Look at the machine more carefully. The post office just put an ATM there and put software to dispense stamps. It is a Wincor Nixdorf ATM with software to vend stamps. In fact Wells Fargo ATMs allow you to buy stamps and vend stamps in the very same way.

@dontwalkhand

Hmm. Interesting! Never really looked at it that way.

Makes a lot of sense, now that you mentioned it.

Thanks for the info.!

George, this is very exciting. stamps are very useful these days. buying a lot helps us keep in touch.

[georgef551]

@Balarick

I'm one of the few that don't trust automatic payments.

Purchasing them in-bulk means the price stays the same: no fee hike, even if implemented (until the stamp well runs dry).

It's weird how stuff like this happens. I was sitting in the food court at our mall with a friend of mine last night and there was one of these machines inside of a Post Office convenience center right next to us. I watched about 3 people buy stamps. I guess now there's a fourth :)

[georgef551]

@TheElevatorChannel

Yep.

Not everyone trusts automatic bill paying systems. Some just take what they need out of your account. I'd like to know what I owe, before paying.

EPIC!
