If I never bought a stamp for a letter in 2 or so years, then needed to, so went into the post office to buy a stamp and found out the cost of a stamp is 70c instead of 45c I paid last time... is it the PO Office's fault I didn't know that? Having a little tanty at the counter about the cost of stamps wouldn't impress the staff or other customers and I would still have to hand over 70c if I wanted to post that letter.


I nearly choked when I found out the current cost of a money order ($8.95). I remember them being $2.95, and thought they were a bit too steep at $4.95...

 

I don't blame AP for my not knowing until I did know, but I still feel ok about shaking my fist in their general direction and saying grumpy "back in my  / the good ol' day(s)" type things about it, and probably still would even if I had found out the second the price rose.
