All of us are just trying to get along, so why do these people take such delight in “the rules”?
How infuriating. Any other day, an identical package (specially purchased to comply to the maximum ‘Large Letter’ dimensions) would have been cheerfully processed as a Large Letter. Today, a vengeful Co-op assistant took maticulous glee in demonstrating that, because it required a bit of a push to get it through the hallowed piece of Perspex, they would “have” to do it as a ‘Small Parcel’ (thereby doubling the postage price).
Apparently I could “always try another Post Office and see what they say”.
They did at least have the sense of shame to not use the exact expression “more than my jobs worth” themselves, but I filled in the blanks for them.

On a serious note though, Lady Seagrave works damn hard on her online shop, and the extra couple of quid of postage each time would eat up nearly a fifth of her profit.
