I already mentioned the Post, with a capital P . I speak here of the French Post, of course. My description of 2006.
This year they decided to improve their post office. This is the central post office in the city of A ... nearly 100,000. He had 5 wickets, and they had recently discovered the principle of single-file for 5 wickets. In addition, they had installed seats and a distributor of numbers! The postal customer happy and could sit to read her Agatha Christie and expect cushy called his number. No fighting, no shouting matches.
However, in Last 4 months, the post office was closed for renovations. Everyone had to fall back on the post office plebeian, a little further, where there is always a crazy world. And since he was the only one to make the postal service, the crazy world became mentally ill.
Finally, one day, the central post office has reopened!
I post my Christmas packages. I enter. The world is even more crazy (especially the gentleman in brown jacket, in the queue behind me).
After a while, I realize that there are 3 tails. I look at the windows: the 3 branches of the single queue in which I took place are marked "Withdrawal, deposits, checks. " Euuuuuh ... I have a doubt ... I consult an indication of the single desk single-file # 2 "Parcel post packages and withdrawals." Oops! This second line does well 1km long! The line # 3 is identified as "priority cardholder PRO". Not for me.
I'm wondering if I'm not unique in the queue at the bank. I ask quietly to the person ahead of me in the queue if that's what I think. That's where Mr. Brown to the vest, behind me, encouraging me strongly to go and ask at the counter. I know a little because I hate to leave a line where I'm # 3 to join the queue 1km long. Especially since Mr. brown jacket seems anxious to get rid of me to go faster.
When I finally resigned myself to interrupt the lady go to the counter to ask, Mr brown jacket continues to harass me "bin voilàààà, must go, must not just parleeeeer" and when I finally got to change tail, I continued his invective "eeeeh should not just talk, it was gooo!" A little
he received my collissimo in the face! At least he was entitled to my "colliss!" Which he probably did not understand but at least it did me good.
Here I am in the tail one km long. Meanwhile Mr brown jacket has had time to pass since 3 wickets, it still runs fast enough. Yes, because we must understand that the primary purpose of the Post, France, is to serve as a bank. They therefore decided to improve the banking book and 3 wickets in the bank. Mail with a small "p" will stop in the small corner where there was room.
So finally, here is the list of improvements to the central post office:
- One-stop job (compared to 5 previously);
- The distribution of numbers do not work;
But that's okay because :
- Seats disappeared;
- is a gentleman in brown jacket in place.
And that it took four months to tweak it all!
