Grumble...I Don't Do "No" Well - Particularly Around Kilts

**Riverkilt** · 14th July 12, 03:29 PM

So my new USA Kilts Casual in the Pennsylvania tartan has arrived. First time I've paid the extra for faster service. So I head over to my little town's post office to pick it up.

Post office has always been open from 2-4pm on Saturdays for parcel pick up...

Right...not today. Closed tight. Radio blaring in back so I buzzed and knocked until a postal worker opened up and said they were closed. What? Always been open Saturday afternoon.

Apparently there are 2% who never get the word. They started closing on Saturday a few weeks ago. budget or something.

Fine, look, the door is open, please give me my kilt. No way....come back Monday. But its here...too bad - I don't care - slam.

Its not like I don't have a kilt to wear - I just want what I want when I want it and I want my new kilt NOW!!....ideas surge through my mind....followed closely by penalties for tresspassing in a closed post office....

Now have to wait (I don't do wait well either!) until Monday to pick up what is so temptingly close a few feet from where I was standing...and Tuesday to wear it to work....

A different kind of jones....

But good news - I wasn't arrested.....

I don't know...I'd be interested to watch your addiction to county and federal jumpsuits. I still have my orange one from Johnson Co., Iowa...

well, that would have been one way to promote your image as the eccentric kilted guy in your town. i am just glad you did not threaten to "car wash" the person who answered the door. we might not have heard from you ever gain.

Sounds as if you need help...hope to be the same soon :-)

Hey, I have one of them orange jump suits too. Sometimes wear it to group to get the client's attention. And, seven years of hanging around prisons I remain amazed at all the ways the orange jump suits can be "styled." But never seen one fashioned into a kilt.

Hope they're not waiting with a warrant when I go back to pick it up on Monday.

Don't be goin' postal. Bad for your health.

I appreciate your position, what horrible customer service. Sure they can fallback on that the postal worker was within their rights but they just helped solidify a stereotype. Read this story from Chris Hurn:

I thought only the german Post was pedantic...as their privilege...

danged rules and regulations and those who follow them to the tee.

Aye, a question we ask during employment interviews at my agency is, which is more important - compliance or outcome? So far, since I've been there, no one has been brave enough to answer outcome...the answer we're seeking.

Today I got compliance...I wanted MY kilt!!!
