Default No longer replacements for wet papers

Called today to get a replacement paper as mine was soaking wet this morning.

First time in 28 years I was told I would get a credit, but they no longer did paper replacements.

Another reason to miss the goid old days in the villages.

I think there are paper machines at the postal stations? You would have to pay but you did say you got a credit. Sadly, the days of the paper are long over and I bet the only ones that get a paper anymore in the US are the Villagers.

That is what we do to save money. They won't let you borrow scissors so bring your own.

Also saving money by taking away from others who no longer can see what they are missing.
