post office

so today i was at the flushing post office and i'm inserting money into the stamp machine cuz the freaken line is too long, so i can't get nice looking stamps. since i didn't want to wait on that ginormous line, i just settled for the stamps...so i'm checking out the machines (theres three) and i found one that had decent looking stamps (antique toys) and these two ladies are checking me out (in a nonsexual way). i bought my stamps and they just kept staring at me. so i turn to the closest lady and ask if she needed help. she nodded i think but then after a series of pointless jabbering and sign language (she only spoke spanish) a post office dude just interrupted and assisted this nice old lady unable to dispense stamps from a machine...heres the dialogue:

[stanley retrieves stamps and change from the machine, and glances 180 around]
stanley [staring at spanish lady]: do you need help?
old lady 1 [nods]: "rapid spanish that i can't understand"
[stanley points to machine and to the 20 dollar bill lady is holding]
stanley [pointing]: just put the money in and choose what you want
old lady 1 [points at her money and continues to look at me]: "more spanish"
[more pointing from stanley]
old lady 1: cuantro "something something"
stanley: four? forty? you want forty stamps?
postal dude[interrupts]: "spanish"
[stanley senses that his help is useless and slowly retreats]

[old lady 2 makes eye contact]
old lady 2 [in chinese]: can i purchase the stamps with a credit card?
[stanley looks at the machine]
stanley [thinking to self]: theres no slot for a credit card]
stanley [outloud]: if you want to buy stamps with a credit card you have to go to the cashier [stanley points]

[stanley leaves]
end dialogue.

well that just about wasted a few good seconds of your life. flushing is turning into chinatown influx with all the other ethnic groups...it smells bad too
