This post is a disaster and a vent all in one!
A family member is getting married right after Christmas and we can not go because it is so far away. I wanted me to make some Monogram, Bride, and Groom oreos for the reception. I did knowing that I would have to mail them to her.
I securely packaged all of the cookies last night and put them in the shipping box. I put so much bubble wrap around the cookie container that there was no way these cookies wouldnt make it intact! I got to the post office this morning and paid for the postage and kindly asked the postal worker to place fragile stickers all over the box. He said that it was not necessary as the priority boxes were VERY sturdy. I asked him again to please put fragile on it or at least let me write it on the box. He then decided to show me how sturdy the boxes were, so he PUNCHED my box. I almost lost it on him when he first punched the box but I kept my cool. Well, I guess he did not think that the first blow to the box was enough so while telling me the box was sturdy and telling me to look (at this point I couldnt, I had worked so long on these cookies to be perfect and couldnt watch what he was doing) he continued punching the box. Well as you probably already guessed, yup, his hand went through the box. So much for sturdy right dude? At this point all of the blood rushed out of my face and I was FUMING. I grabbed the box off of the counter and peered inside of the box to see that he had hit right were my perfect cookies were. Yup, they were destroyed. Thank goodness no one was with me b/c 1. they would have been embarassed and 2. I didnt want any of them to hear all of the BAD words that came out of my mouth at this jerk.
I talked to the supervisor and she refunded me the postage but said that there was nothing she could do about the ruined package. WHAT? your idiot worker just took all of his holiday frustration out on MY package and YOU cant to anything about it?!? She said that it was just cookies and nothing valuable like most people send during the holidays. I dont give a rats butt what you think the value of my cookies are, that is not the point nor is it any of your business that my package didnt contain a PS 3 like the guy in front of me. I stormed out of the Post office carrying the package and crying.
I dont even know what to do about it all now. I wrote down her name and the wanna be UFC fighter but is there anything else that I can do? Off to make more cookies to send through UPS or Fedex now. Needless to say I have lots of oreo topping for icecream now.
Below is a picture of my cookies pre fight.
