I needed to mail 2 letters and needed them post marked that day, I used some postage stamps that I had in my dest drawer, so not knowing what amount of postage I need so I just placed 4 postage stamps on each of the letters, I drove to the post Office to make sure that my letters got post marked. I walked in and a bell rang alerting the staff that had a customer, 15 or 20 seconds later a woman (postal worker) comes from the back and asked "con I help you"
(Me) "yes I want to mail these letters, can you check to make sure that I have enough postage to mail them"
She counts and adds up the postage stamps on the letters for about 5 to 10 seconds.
(Postal worker) "It appears that you do"
(Me) "we'll do I need to add more, I want to make sure it gets there"
The postal worker then proceeded to hold my letters up towards the light and with her finger started picking at the edges of the stamps and asking "are these stamps used, did you take these stamps off another letter and reuse them, did you peel them off of something"
(Me) "no they are not used, they are new, I did peel them off of the booklet of stamps that I have, they are just old, that is the reason that I placed 4 of them, so do I need to add more or not"
(Postal worker) "yes you do, all you needed was one, but I don't know if I can take this because it looks like they might not stick or fall off"
(Me) "if all that I need is 1, are you telling me that all 4 may fall off"
(Postal worker) "I'm going to have to check to see if I can accept them, I'll be right back"
(Postal worker) "no I cannot accept them, you are going to have to pay for postage, that will be 98 cents" read more
