Post office rant...

[Dave_Obsession]

I just need to vent, and then I'll feel better

I hate going to the vast majority of post offices here in Melbourne. Not that the staff aren't friendly and helpful. It's not because they don't know what they are doing. IT'S THE QUEUES!

It drives me up the wall having to wait 20 minutes (usually more) in a queue so I can pick up a package, while seemingly every pensioner in the suburb wants help paying their water bill.....and then spends another 3-4 minutes chatting to the staff member about how their grandson works in the mines blah blah blah.....

Why can't they have separate lines for mail collection / postage AND for bill payments? That way all the oldies who don't know what BPAY is can still go and do their thing, without holding up everybody else who have got better things to do than stand in queues!

Most of us simply can't afford to waste that amount of time in a queue!
Waiting in a bank queue is bliss compared to a post office!!

I wonder if other AFF members share my viewpoint?
