Now we have to do it all online, and for the more serious matters there's a post service in ICA, with regular lines. <BR/><BR/>In the pharmacies... been there done that. It's always like that, and the most amazing part of it is how calmly we obey the rules. Personally I don't see a reason to discuss my health issues with the pharmacist - I already did that with my doctor who gave me the prescription in the first place. The elderly don't seem to reason like that though.Annikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517812959204497841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-86265822473468248542007-03-16T18:01:00.000+00:002007-03-16T18:01:00.000+00:00Oh my goodness me!

And there is always someone with some complex enquiry or wanting to buy a new travel pass with photo card. Half the time people leave the ticket office with no ticket as their train pulls in before they get to the front of the queue! Anyway, I think people actually enjoy making you wait in these situations, the one small pleasure their job affords them!Kamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039627235813416300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-55608286439763931742007-03-16T16:40:00.000+00:002007-03-16T16:40:00.000+00:00well at least there was an orderly line...even if ...well at least there was an orderly line...even if it was a waste of time. i hate the clustering in italy...you get frustrated even BEFORE you realize that you wasted time :)Tracie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16220560234729129259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-90608668866616087602007-03-16T16:07:00.000+00:002007-03-16T16:07:00.000+00:00How frustrating!!! although the US pharmacy always...How frustrating!!! although the US pharmacy always has quite a wait too, and usually no chairs :( It's nuts, I was thinking the number system would ensure fairness in the Swedish pharmacy, but apparently it did not.Bearettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695540798528134304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227475381738013851.post-65283739874831498622007-03-16T15:48:00.000+00:002007-03-16T15:48:00.000+00:00That sounds like the post office or any government...That sounds like the post office or any government office in France.
