We are looking LIVE at two copies of that Full Metal Jacket book, written by a notorious book thief. Very valuable volumes, apparently. Shipped, mysteriously for no good reason to spaced99 and insured for $1000. That transaction was a story in itself the veteran grey-haired postal worker lady was more than a match for me. No matter how I answered her questions she never once wavered from a practiced near perfect office patter.
How much is the package insured for?
$1000.
If something happens to the package you will have to prove to the insurance company these items are worth $1000.
I am a collector. Replacement cost today is $1000.
How fragile is this package? (She's poking the pile of business cards suspiciously)
You can run it over with the truck once, but not twice.
Run over once. Not twice. Right.
What day shipping do you want?
2 day I guess is good enough. Doesn't matter what day it arrives at this point.
As I leave I turn to the two lady workers behind the counter and I said I really appreciate y'all today, you were a very big help. Both ladies turned to me and said thank you, sir, you have a great day.
Notice the sir.
I told my dad I am Mr. Wu, Management, but nobody has ever called me Mr. Wu.
