Coming to a Post Office near you.
Discussion
Well of course that's assuming you even have a Post Office anymore and not just a shoddy corner of a supermarket/branch of W H Smiths.
Anyway, I digress. The new system just introduced at Reading Post Office has to be the brain child of one of the most disingenuous f
kwits I've yet to have the displeasure of meeting. Beforehand the queues could be fairly long and they still insisted on sending two thirds of the staff to lunch during the peak lunchtime period.
But it was almost bearable.
Now however they appear to have turned the place into a branch of Argos. You now take a ticket and wait for your number to be called. Of course the inevitable delay caused by the cashier waiting for a minute until she realises that ticket 92 has in fact got pissed off with waiting and left the building has now increased the waiting time for everyone else. What kind of retard ever thought that this would be a better system than a simple queue?

The sooner they get rid of them the better as far as I'm concerned. I'm hoping it's only the popularity of eBay that's keeping them afloat. Never in all my life have I come across such an incompetent, unhelpful, rude and sarcastic bunch of people. Their attitude is typical of an organisation where the staff get paid regardless of their performance.
Thankfully, I can now buy car tax and stamps online in seconds rather than having to cross the threshold of one of these little oases of bureaucracy.

Couldn't they change to an automated cashier for most things. Like self service at the supermarket. Ram the place full of self service booths. Package on the scales. Put the postage fee in the slot, put sticker/stamp on package. Put package in the shoot to the basement/conveyor belt to the back.Munter said:

They really do seem to be retarded.
I now have a fifteen minute walk to my nearest Post Office. For a 20 minute queue. And 15 mins back. So, guess what, I don't send anything bigger than a christmas card by post unless it is absolutely necessary. Way to drive away business, guys!

"Cashier number two please"
I feel slightly wrong that I really want to be the person/voice that says that. Just for a day...It's almost like they climax on the number.
