rant

The logo of La Poste has become synonymous to total incompetence. The problem, is that this kind of public service has become a breeding ground to laziness, boredem, and professional ineffincency.
A public service is by definition an action for somebody, and in this case the somebody is [It seems quite clearly stated] the public; and yet this service does everything for the public to avoid it.
How can that be ? I mean the post used to be the best link between people, the postman, your friendly daily smile, the stamp a square inch universe that united millions of passionate geeky philatelists from around the world... and now, in front of you, from across the counter, you look into a pair of blurry eyes who tell you, even before you even open your mouth, to fuck off.
Just for the personal note, i spent 30 minutes at the post office this morning for a 2 minute transaction that cost me 3,37 euros. I was very lucky in fact, because if it hadn't been for no less than 5 bored and angry customers, who apparently had better things to do than wait in line for a fucking stamp, i'd still be there...
During the wait, i asked to see the manager who never came out of his hole.
But then who would want to confront 25 people waiting in front of 3 desks.

Nuff said for now... the man below says it all better than me...
