Post Office conundrum
Posted on April 10, 2009
Today I stopped into the US Post Office on Ludlow between 2nd and 3rd St. This place is always empty and there is never a clerk at the counter. There is a sign made of yellow paper hanging on a stanchion 5 feet from the counter. The sign says:
Do not approach the counter, Please wait to be called.
This is the equivelant of the “line”. Wait at the line. Even when no one else is there. A similar hand made sign is taped to the counter. (To the left in the photo) and there is a professional sign attached to the counter as well. This is not a problem. I normally wait behind the first sign, on a nice USPS rug and wait for the person to appear from behind the great wall.
But..But..today I noticed a new sign. Look on the counter. In the same color yellow, the sign reads:
Please Ring Bell
Okay this is a trick. Don’t leave the carpet without permission. To get permission you have to leave the carpet and ring the bell. What to do? Ring and be wrong or wait all day. Hmm. I chose to wait.
Click on the photo and click again for a closer look.
