Went to the Post Office (near to The Plough and the Co-op). Waited outside to see if the proprietor would come out and speak to me. Could not go in, sign said no dogs due to 'a number of incidents', but guide dogs are allowed in. Waited 5 minutes, the proprietor who was stacking cards in the greeting card racks came out.
I said that I needed to send an urgent letter. She would not let me in, but said I could tie my dog to the handle outside. I said it was a high value dog, rare breed did not want to chance it in getting it stolen. She wpuld not help. I thought she could have taken my letter, given her the money for posting, problem solved. Pathetic, I wish that Post Office every success, selling their cards and wrapping paper. I will take my business elsewhere, and I will not be sending my staff to send parcels from there in the future.
In regards to 'a number of incidents' I was wondering if they have had a number of bad experiences with non-guide dogs. I mean, my dog is only 4 months old and she never said or showed any intention of holding up and robbing the Post Office. I would be interested to know if there is a dominant breed that has caused an unfortunate 'number of incidents'. Like to see some E-fit photos. Talking of animals, I and others that I will tell of this debacle, will get my cards from Moonpig.com.
Anyway, I went to the Post Office at the top of Heaton Moor Road by the Avanti restaurant and Charcuterie butcher. Took dog in posted letter, done and dusted.
I wish you all the best. read more
