The annual Christmas rush has finally died down. Thank fuck for that. Even though the last posting dates for various countries were weeks ago, we're still getting a steady trickle of mail for far-flung destinations. The annoying thing is that customers are still expecting a card to get to Australia in time for Christmas. The last posting date for first class was yesterday for fucks sake. What are the chance of something getting down under in time? Fuck all.
Most customers don't mind too much when we tell them. Some, on the other hand, expect the moon on a stick and get the right areshole when we let them down. A guy came in today and asked if he sent a parcel first class, it'd be garunteed there tomorrow. When we told him no but he could send it special delivery for £6.30 he threw his toys out of the pram and stomped off saying that the service was pathetic. Jesus man, think about it for a second. First class doesn't always get there next day at the best of times. At christmas you're pretty much looking at 2-3 days if you're lucky. Please don't get on my case cos you're too stupid, lazy and ugly to organise yourself and get your cards out at a reasonable time. It's not as if Christmas arriving has come as a surprise at all. It happens every fucking year pretty much without fail.
"OH MY GOD!!! Christmas is on the 25th of December this year!!! And there hasn't been loads of warning in the form of adverts all over the place, Christmas sepcials on telly, Christmas cards arriving addresses to me and all of the other myriad of signals that I'd have to have totally fuckwitted in order to miss."
"D'oh"
