Quite right, they have 9 machines I understand. I wouldn't worry too much though, if they are as reliable as the piece of junk in our office it will require MORE staff to run around clearing label and coin jams :sad: See the thread I started a couple of months ago about it.

Apparently they are 'upgrading' the machines to take the money for PostShop merchandise and pay for RMSDs.

Doesn't take a great leap of the imagination to scan the barcode on your bill and insert the correct cash does it?

As an aside we were left manager-less one day. It was a very quiet day but we managed to do 20% of the weeks sales target with no warm-ups, updates etc. Felt pretty pleased with ourselves. Only for the boss to return and say "The 3-letter-acronym says we are not putting enough postage through the P&G". That's probably because it's broken most of the time but a subsequent email from above advised us that this was not an acceptable excuse! Defies logic, doesn't it!
