I can see the post office and the bank, but why put something like that in a building where there certainly is something that can cut plexiglass on the other side?

Or Wal-Mart.<br /><br />Venom- With 37 people in your largest town, I'd imagine there'd be some accountability if anyone behaved in a plexiglass-poor way. Like, they'd call your first grade teacher or your mom. :)<br /><br />Julia- Always glad to oblige! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-91333645927702409942009-11-09T11:06:08.258-05:002009-11-09T11:06:08.258-05:00Great post, Jenn!! :D

I went to buy a money order, the post mistress invited me into the back room to help her figure out how to make that happen.

And no, I'm not joking.<br /><br />As for going into the back room, that's where they'll grab a drink, sit for a few seconds and hope to God that they are able to find your package, thus avoiding everything that I just mentioned.<br /><br />People are funny about their mail. They do whatever it takes to avoid getting standard (junk) mail but if they don't receive any mail on a given day they go completely bonkers.<br /><br />...thus the need for plexiglass!Gianettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560583308799336857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-44153705010367809502009-11-09T09:55:15.195-05:002009-11-09T09:55:15.195-05:00BeerDrinker- I bet we could all lose a lot of weig...BeerDrinker- I bet we could all lose a lot of weight, too, lugging around all the bulletproof equipment.

So having plexiglass on the side of the room where the postman IS only protects the customers from the rampage, not necessarily the other people who work there. <br /><br />Maybe they all need their own individual bulletproof fishtanks. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-59051337721902084042009-11-09T09:42:58.059-05:002009-11-09T09:42:58.059-05:00The popular expression "Going Postal" sh...The popular expression "Going Postal" should explain the post office plexiglass.Beer Drinker Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482009304734879440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-62335641834942516282009-11-09T09:38:29.007-05:002009-11-09T09:38:29.007-05:00Lili- The irony is I can totally envision you havi...Lili- The irony is I can totally envision you having done that.
