Everyday Rachel and I go to the Post Office about three times. The first time is at 9 A.M. to get the morning mail from the business PO box. Then we go again around 11:30ish, depending on the day and amount of bills. Then we finally go again at 4:45ish to deliver the P.M. mail.
Because of our frequent visits the people at the post office have come to know us and most of them are pretty nice…. except one lady.
This woman is the rudest lady I’ve ever met, I think. She has her nose pierced which seems to be really out of character for someone like her. She’s pretty tall and has really broad shoulders… almost like a man.
She’s ridiculously bitter. She always says something mean and is really abrupt.
One time there was quite a line… about 5 people and only her at the cashier position, we were second in line and the woman in line in front of us had set her packages and envelopes down on the line “island” table that was in front of us.
The witch was done helping the current customer and the woman in front of us started to grab her belongings. As she did, the witch yelled “NEXT!” like she wasn’t going fast enough.
Then one time an old old woman came in to buy/pay a PO box fee. The old woman was paying in cash and had only 20s. The witch was completely rude to her and asked her if she had anything closer to the dollar amount. The old woman apologized and said no, she asked if she should go to the bank and come back. The witch told her no very abruptly and gave her the change.
It just amazes me how rude this woman is! I always forget that I want to glare at her once I get up there and smile… but man oh man, someday I want to just tell her she’s the rudest lady I’ve ever met.

I hope I never run into this lady at the post office, because when people are rude to me in a professional environment, I let them know…

Oh, man…she sounds awful! I always wonder what makes people so, so bitter in life. I can understand feeling frustrated about the general population (especially after my lovely days spent in customer service…), but it seems so sad when people let bitterness rule them like that. I had a customer at Starbucks once who acted quite hateful toward me and caused this big scene, all because she spilled coffee on herself (which, she actually accused me of doing…though her window was rolled up, and she already had her coffee…). Good luck with the post office, especially since you go there so often. You’re probably one of her favorite people, since you keep accidentally smiling at her, hahaha
Who knows, maybe you brighten her day?
