| - Oh boy. Things have certainly changed here, and NOT for the good. They took out all the chairs. There's a small row of them for handicapped or priority "customers" but good luck getting one of those-unless you dare to whack some kid with your cane.
They took out the board that shows you what number they called.
They removed the speaker that they used in the past to announce what number was up.
They even removed the monitor that hung from the ceiling that gave you news, weather, and public service announcements.
They replaced all this with lines labeled from A to whatever.
When asked, they say that the new system is much faster and more efficient.
Maybe, but I timed it, and I spent EXACTLY the same amount of time that I always do there.
Except this time it was utterly miserable and felt like I was a second-class citizen-and this is even AFTER I snagged a chair.
Horrible, sad, ugly, unhappy, place.
Oh, and as an extra bonus, there was some strung out chick in the bathroom that had spread all her stuff all over the floor and counter and was doing her makeup.
I can't tell you not to go here since it's a necessary evil, but DANG, definitely try and do some of it online.
