Just in case you didn't know, let me explain what those automated postage machines at your local post office is for.
They're for people who have one, or two at the very most, envelopes or packages that need to be shipped that do not require special services (i.e. insurance). Under no circumstances should you come in with a BOX full of parcels to send and decide that you want to use that machine unless it's midnight.
They're for people who have some knowledge of automated systems and can anticipate what the next screen will say. Prior ATM use is a prerequisite. Under no circumstances should you decide to take your time and PRACTICE on that machine when the counter queue is so long it's out the door and there are an additional five people behind you waiting to send one package each.
They're for people who AREN'T BEING DISTRACTED BY CELLULAR PHONE CONVERSATIONS AND ARE THEREFORE TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME.
I feel better now.
