I went to the Post Office this afternoon to pick up a parcel.
I overheard the conversation next to me - it was a man with his child maybe 5 years old. They come up to the counter and the Dad says "we need to this to get to Nana by Mothers Day".
Turns out Nana lives half away across the country.
The Post Office lady, who gives off a grumpy vibe says "it won't arrive until late next week".
I am feeling for the kid at this point. The kid says "But Mother's Day is this weekend!".
Then his Dad says "Well, that's the new Australia Post".
I leave at this point, I have my heavy parcel, but the Dad and Grumpy lady are continuing their verbal fight.
I just keep thinking, this poor kid, all he is worried about is his card not getting to his Nana for Mother's Day and it's not his fault at all. He might remember this for the rest of his life. And meanwhile these two adults are arguing about stupid things. I thought at the time the Post Office lady could have been nicer, could have lied to make it easier for the kid, but his Dad is fucking idiot for thinking a card can get half way across the country via mail in 2 days.

Hmmm. Registered Express Post is overnight most places, second day at the most. He just needs to pay a bit more.
