I was on my way home from work , I didn't think I would make it to my Post Office before they closed . So , I stopped at a little P . O . in Round Pound . There were no cars , in the lot , I wasn't even sure if they were open .
I went in , The Post Master was there , Gus , He looked like Albert Einstein . I handed him my package - he asked '' Is there any thing liquid , fragile , perishable , and all that crap ? I said '' no '' He started typing on his little machine - the one finger style . He said ''we have this thing called Priority , It's a faster way to get there '' I said '' yes , I've heard of it , how much '' He said '' this will take a minuet or two ''
He typed away and said $12.75 - I said OK ............ He then said '' I can't give you a receipt , but here is your tracking number , it's a peal and stick , so you can put on you fridge , so you don't loose it '' Then he reached under the counter and handed me some hershey's kisses .
I told him that I go to a lot of Post offices , but this one is kind of old fashioned . He said '' Yes , we have the latest technology from the 1980's , and if you need a Money Order , I get the machine out of the closet - I type the stuff in and then I pull the crank "
It was a wonderful experience .
