Bureaucracy
At the Post Office:
Me: One first-class stamp, please.Clerk: Thirty-seven cents.
Me: Thanks. By the way, your stamp machine isn’t working. It won’t accept money.
Clerk: We’re aware of that.
Me: You might want to put an “out of order” sign on it.
Clerk: We don’t have one.
Me: A piece of paper and some tape would do.
Clerk: We’re not allowed to do that. We’re waiting for the manager.
Me: You’d rather have frustrated customers come to the counter?
Clerk: Next in line!
