For decades now the situation as regards service to the public at the GPO during the Christmas season remains the same.
If you get there at 11:00hrs you will find long lines of persons wasting time, just because there are only two tellers, one in the air-conditioned area and one in the larger open area. The excuse is that it is lunch time. Does this mean there are only two tellers? Giving customers their change too is a problem, as there is often no change in the tellers’ possession.
Every Christmas customers are sold some silly looking little stamps that are most likely over five years old and do not have any paste at the back of them. Is this the best our postal service could do? Our mail goes all over the world, so what impression do we give?
By the way, when you go to put on the stamps on your mail the sponge bowl has no water, and while you are thinking what to do your mail is sliding off the stand because the people who made it fixed the incline too steeply.
So much for the problems at GPO.
Yours faithfully,
Francis Canzius
