I agree … who uses Stamps ? Bills are paid Electronically and Christmas cards seem non-existent.
Stamp machines are Dinosaurs

Yes! It’s called service and maintenance costs. Sorry to offend, dumb idea. Buy 100 when you go to Post Office.

jebartle...you can buy stamps anywhere in almost every store. Walgreens, Publix, Winn Dixie are some of the stores that sell them. Why install them at the postal stations and have people breaking into them? You do go to the stores, I'm sure. Pick them up when you go to buy your alcohol

Rich1...I use stamps. Do not trust the internet for my financial information. Too many scammers out there. You probably use your credit card at gas stations also. Don't be scammed!!

No, not a needed service. Just another opportunity for petty thieves.

With email, I rarely get anything but unsolicited advertisements. As for sending out birthday or other cards, a book of stamps lasts for years. All bills and most communications done on line.

You ask "who uses stamps" .... I do. I have two children and two daughter-in-laws .... equals four birthday cards and two anniversary cards.

I have four Grandchildren .... birthday cards and anniversary cards; and these kids keep having children which means more cards and more stamps.

I guess I am a dinosaur!

Oh, I almost forgot, I get Mother's Day Cards .... more stamps.

Graduation Cards and on and on.

Nah, the machine wouldn’t be pleasingly aesthetic, and would be a rusted eyesore in 10 years.

I don't think the U.S. Post Office would place them there because there are no official postal workers, just contractors. You can buy stamps at Publix when you check out.
Publix employees are not postal workers either.

Me too. No e-card, although I do use some, can replace an old fashioned greeting card up on our mantle. And a birthday check in it is always appreciated

Yes. I bought my last sheet at the bank. Will last a while

They used to sell stamps at the ATMs at the postal stations. That stopped about 10 year ago.

So true. Probably rusted in even 5 years & not maintained
