Buying Stamps at the Post Office

Clerk: Can I help you?

Tamika: I’d like to buy some Stamps.

Clerk: In what Denomination?

Tamika: I’m not sure. I need them for sending regular letters and for Priority Mail.

Clerk: The current Rate for sending a First-class letter is 41 cents. With first-class service, your letter will get there in three to seven days for Domestic mail.

Tamika: For the first-class stamps, how many come in a Book or a Roll?

Clerk: There are 20 in a book and 100 in a roll. To send a Priority Mail Envelope, you can get $4.05 stamps, and Delivery is usually in two to three days. How many would you like of each?

Tamika: I’ll take one book of the stamps and four Priority Mail stamps. Can I buy stamps to send an Express Mail envelope, too?

Clerk: You can. Those are $14.40 each.

Tamika: Could you add one of those, too? And how much is it to send a Postcard? I don’t need any stamps for those today, but I’m just Curious.

Clerk: It’s 24 cents to send a postcard. Okay, that’s a book of 41-cent stamps, four Priority Mail stamps, and one Express Mail stamp. Anything else?

Tamika: Could I pick the Design of the first-class stamps?

Clerk: Yes. You can choose from these Commemorative ones or the Standard flag design.

Tamika: I’ll take the commemorative ones.

Clerk: Your total comes to $38.80.

Tamika: Here’s $40.

Clerk: Here’s your change and your stamps. Have a nice day.

Tamika: Thanks. You, too.
