Today, i went to the Post Office to buy the zodiac calender year of the TIGER postage stamps, new issu on January 8, 2010.
The counter girl, did not not what is a new stamps issue, nevr mind about that, then the next counter girl told her, it is those stack of things given to her this morning are the new issues.
She then gave me the entire stack and told me to take what I wanted, for she does not know, what they are.
So, i chose the First Day Cover, (FDC), the Miniature Sheet ( Mini Sht), and I ask for two sets of stamps issued for the day.
She looked at me puzzled, STAMPS?..what Stamps. I told her, today new stamps issue , i want two sets.
She excused herself, and went in to the office, ten minutes she came with the Post mistress, who brough out the stamps, in the sheelet of 10 for each denominations.
I told the post mistress, what I wanted. The counter girl is new, she was guided in keying in FDC x 1, Msht x 1, 2 x stamps of 1 value each...and i ask for a 10 stamps sheet of first local ( Tiger), and another perplexing look from both..you mean you want ten stamps of 1st local... by then, I was gasping for...
Anyway, they totalled correctly..paid & went off.
Any bona fide Post Office staff will know, what are stamps, (sets of), FDC, M sht, booklets etc..
The counter staff are selling rice cookers, MP3 players, insurance etc...
They do not sell stamps anymore..and do not bother to ask anymore. I should be buying them on-line...etc..:p
Is this the standard the SINKingpore Post Office had become?, where in the past, i can say hi to the counter girl, know the post master or mistress, and they call out your name..and know what you want to buy from stamps to anything else at the Post Office..
Is this the service standard we are getting???
