Postal Service?


Wednesday I went to the post office in an unnamed town - not mine - to pick up my parents' mail. It's being held while they're in FL. I had several packages to mail and also needed stamps.

Did you know that it is postal policy not to accept unsigned credit cards? Yeah, me neither. After waiting in line for ten minutes, I was unable to mail my packages/buy stamps because I never sign my credit cards. I had my driver's license, but the clerk still refused to accept my credit card.

Today I went to the post office where I live, armed with my check book. (No one knows me there, just so you know.) I asked her if she would take my unsigned credit card. "Of course," she said. "I just need to see your driver's license."

I mailed my packages, and I also bought a roll of the "forever" stamps. In case you don't know, the price goes up Sunday.

Do you sign your credit cards?
