They used to in ours, but not for a few years now.
It was because there was a PO a couple of doors away (officially).
Think the reality was someone was caught 're-allocating' some funds from surcharge cards.
But they were unable to prove who the culprit was (or knowing and covering it up :shhhhh ).
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a Rep.

In our Callers offfice, people keep coming in and asking for stamps as PO is very far from sorting office.

I have basic First and Second stamps with me on a rural duty which occasionally is most helpful to the elderly and isolated. :Very Happy

Still called 'books' even though they've not been books since 1975. :crazy:

No, but people keep coming in asking for them then getting really shitty when you tell them you don't sell them.

I've done the odd collection when I have found money taped to the letter expecting me to put a stamp on it. I just put it in the bag and let the mail centre deal with it.
