Highlandtown Logic
I went to the USPS satellite office on the corner of Highland and Bank on Saturday to mail my last $0.37 letters and pick up a book of the new $0.39 stamps. I completed my transactions without event. A Hon was standing in line behind me so I moved to the side of the window to deal with arranging my change in my wallet, stowing my stamps, etc. The following is the conversation in was privy to between the Postal Clerk and said Hon:
INT. USPS SATTELITE OFFICE - DAY
An older Highlandtown Hon walks up to the Postal Clerk's window which has a large sign taped to the inside stating that there no one- or two-cent stamps available.
HON: I need a book of the new stamps.
PC: That'll be $7.80.
HON: So, you don't have any two-cent stamps?
PC: No, but we have three-cent stamps.
HON: Are all of the postal offices out of two-cent stamps?
PC: I don't know but if you would like some three-cent ...
HON: I've got six thirty-seven-cent stamps in need to use up.
PC: We have three-cent stamps.
HON: That doesn't do me any good.

The other question is: How did they run out of $0.02 stamps, knowing that demand would be huge?
