Apologies for not updating my blog for the last few weeks but it has been very hectic to say the least. I have quite a few issues I intend to write about when I get more time. In the meantime however, I have been persistently annoyed by the following issue.

The Post Office (or at least the one I frequent) doesn’t take credit cards as payment for items such as postage for Special Deliveries, etc. They accept debit cards, but not credit cards. Well, that is to say they say they don’t accept credit cards, but a friend has had no problem using one when he put it in the PIN-pad machine, but I am assured they don’t.

It seems quite backward that an organisation such as the post office cannot accept a modern means of payment for their services. If it was a question of costing too much, I would be quite prepared to pay for it, just like at Ikea where a surcharge applies for credit (and I think debit) card transactions to cover the extra cost they incur in processing.
