Bureaucratic Stupidity

So, despite it making little, if no sense, Australia Post in it’s wisdom, have decided to close my local post office.  So anytime that I’m sent a letter or package that doesn’t fit into a standard mailbox, I’m stuck with the job of having to retrieve the little red piece of paper and trudge off to my nearest post office – a position even Australia Post can’t make up their mind about.

So in the space of a week – I get two of these.  Two packages – two different post offices to collect from.  One doesn’t open before 9:00am in the morning.  The other doesn’t open on weekends.  Really great if you’ve got a city job which means you don’t have the opportunity to meander around the suburbs of a week-day.

Australia Post and customer service – two things that don’t go together.
