Reminds me of a day I had some stamps to round date for the record. The clerk, after asking what I wanted to do, handed me the round date and had me cancel the stamps myself!

It's almost comical at times to watch and listen to certain counter clerks defend the stamper as a self-perceived "untouchable" instrument and others just hand it over not unlike a pen or a stapler.
Like with the red Registered Mail stickers too.
Regulations allow that the clerk will give a regular Registered Mail patron an entire roll of 600 stickers.
This is fresh on my mind from the other day. A California suitor went to get his stickers. They did not want to give them so he cited the regulation. The held a 10-minute pow wow and showed him his new 600 sticker roll but were concerned that they might not have enough for themselves. So he accepted their partial roll instead.
