Press or Queue??

Ever since I started my online fashion shop, I visit the post office quite often to deliver clothes to my customers through pos laju. For the post office near my house, we don’t need to press for a number if we want to send/collect pos laju letters/parcels. All we need to do is to queue in front of the pos laju counter and wait for our turn.

I thought it’s the same for the post office near my office. I remembered I walked straight to the pos laju counter (nobody queuing..) and handed over the parcel to the person in charged but the lady asked me to press for a number. Hehe.. I guess every post office got their own rules.

Anyway, this morning I went to the post office near my office again before work. As usual, I pressed for a number. I got the number ‘3016’ and it’s currently serving ‘3014’, should be quite fast..I picked a seat and then I noticed the guy sitting beside me got the number ‘3015’, so should be his turn any minute now and then my turn.

So we both sat there and wait and wait and wait but the number remained at ‘3014’. I looked at the pos laju counter and saw a guy standing in front of it. Hmm, what took him so long? Anyway, I double checked the address that I’m going to deliver to make sure it’s correct, then when I looked up again, I saw a lady standing in front of the counter now. Ei, strange, after ‘3014’ should be ‘3015’ mar, the guy holding ‘3015’ still sitting beside me. The lady left and then I saw the person in charged served another guy! Hey!! They’re serving customers that queued in front of the counter, and not those who pressed the numbers!!

Funny lar.. there’s even a notice pasted in front of the pos laju counter, asking ppl to go take a number and yet they go serve ppl who queues in front of the counter and ignore us who really go press the number. Argggg….
