I would also guess they were over-sized. Try to always bring a sample in of piece to be mailed. If you ask for postcard stamps they probably assume you know what you need.
On the flipside (I worked for USPS many years) the same type of thing would happen with invitations and such. We would ask them to bring a sample with everything complete. People would swear they knew what they were mailing and it was just a "regular" envelope and refuse to bring sample. We sold them what they asked for and then when they came to mailed them they would be oversized, irregular shaped, 2-4 ounces each and many had bumpy things (bows etc) inside and out.(making them non-machinable) Then of course they were mad at us that they bought wrong postage.
I understand your frustration though. Sometimes what we see as the simplest act often isn't.
