Refusal to sell Christmas stamps in quantities less than 20

I went to my local USPS office today to purchase 10 Christmas stamps to mail out my holiday cards. The window clerk refused to sell me only 10 stamps saying selling less than 20 was prohibited. Huh? When did that come about? I refused... Politely told the clerk I would not buy any if I could not buy any what I needed... She was adamant and said take or leave it. I politely said no, I will not buy any and left. I share this anecdote as a complaint to make others aware of such sales tactics. Ones that drive away customers and no wonder many offices cannot sustain revenue streams that will keep them open as viable point of sale operations. Perhaps all USPS need re-education in our economic theology. Free market stuff... Any economic text will do... And all USPS staff need to understand the no one principle of free market theory: "the customer remains sovereign in purchase decisions, not the seller" thus, the only way we can retain our sovereignty is refuse to buy... I did just that... Walking away without any stamps. The clerk looked shocked at my refusal to buy 20 stamps. As I left.
