Today, Tim and I went to the village post office to mail some things home to my mom that are for Christmas presents. Twice. We had to go back because my big box was too big by .2kg to be a "small parcel" and would have been too expensive, but if we split it into smaller packages they'd all qualify as "small parcel" and be cheaper (and it was true. It was £25 cheaper after splitting it up).
Anyway.
The first time we were at the Post Office, the woman proceeded to flirt with Tim in front of me. Asking him really personal questions I felt were out of line for a Postal employee (even if they were a friend!) to be asking. And then she refused to let me pay for my stuff with my US credit card because it didn't have a chip. She claimed it "wouldn't accept" my card when she didn't even frigging try to swipe the thing. When they had a problem with swiping it at another place, the clerk just manually typed in my number and it went through no problems. But, Tim was nice enough and paid for my postage.
We went home and split my large package and went back to the post office where the woman flirted with Tim again, and this time completely ignored me! TIM had to ask her for the custom forms because she ignored me when I asked, and she said to Tim "oh, did you get it all sorted" as if they were his packages to mail!
I'm just so annoyed and can't figure out if this was a dis on me being American, a dis on Tim dating someone who is American, or just a rude woman.
