Early Bird Special!

I have been meaning to post these pics I took of my PO Box reminder.

“Amount due: R287.00. If paid before Dec 2009 you only pay R285.00”

Seriously!

What the heck were the South African Post Office thinking?

A whole 2 Rand saving! What can you actually do with 2 rondt these days? Back in the days when 2 rondt looked like this, you could probably buy a movie ticket or something. But in 2010?

Did the South African Post Office sales & marketing executive really think that this would be an incentive for me to rush over and stand in the queue to get this incredible cash saving? I am sure the additional processing cost and admin on the transaction with early bird discount costs more than R2.

Oy vey.
