At The Post Office

Queues and post offices seem to go together like peaches and cream. No matter where you live there is never enough staff and the clients are left huffing and puffing and shuffling their feet in the queue.

Now in Nice they've approached the problem sideways: appointing new personnel is obviously expensive so, instead, install a soft drinks machine and air conditioning and queuing becomes less of a nuisance. In fact with a couple of comfortable chairs and some reading material posting letters would be a positive pleasure!
