It's time for another post office story. I know you can never get enough. I don't know I can't.
So I go to the post office on Saturday with my package slip. The post is open until 12. I go at around 11:15am with my post slip.
I go into the side door when they give your packages and the window is shut. I go around to the main part and ask a guy I know where the package people are. He says, Oh,I think they've gone home. But go around back and see if anyone is lingering around.
So I go out back and didn't see the guys I deal with but there are about 3 guys standing outside the door. So I ask them. I say that I came to pick up a package. They say, "Oh, those guys went home" And I say, "I thought you were open until 12". And they say, "You didn't get here in time" and I say, "Isn't the post open until 12?" and he says, "yes, what time is it" So I tell him the time and then he looks confused.
So another pipes up and says, "you need to come at 8am. They are here at 8". I said "Okay, 8am until what time?" And he says "8am" and I say, "until when" "8 am, they are here." Finally another one figures out that I'm trying to ask the hours and then everyone gives me the answer.
Guy #1 (mind you, they're all standing next to each other) "The hours are 8am to 10am on Saturdays to pick up a package"
Guy #2: "You can't pick up packages on Saturday"
Guy #3: "It depends on the Saturday. Sometimes you can pick up your package, sometimes you can't"
and that (those) were my answers. I said, "Okay, that's clear " and I start to leave. A guy calls out to me as I'm leaving, "Come back on Monday!"
The End
So... the question to you is, which is the right answer: Guy #1, Guy #2 or Guy #3?
Brook and I think Guy #3 has the correct answer: sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. What cracks me up is that they are were so serious about it even though they contradicted each other. Very 'afrique'. love it, except I wanted my package and just realized I had made a wasted trip so wasn't in the best of moods. Anyway, thought you would like another edition of "The Post Office"

Instead of criticism write the variants.
In it something is. Many thanks for the help in this question, now I will not commit such error.
