If waiting patiently for long periods is what turns you on, then this post office is for you. It never eases to amaze me how long the queus are at this post office. Once you're in line be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait.
The place is full of stuff for sale strategically placed for those who are endlessly waiting in the slow moving lane. I've actually bought stuff from the displays because I had so much time that I could read the instructions completely and figure out if the item was for me.
Entertainment? Just listen to the conversations at the counter, the staff are more than happy to talk to each person, no matter how long the queue is. Everything from payment disputes, who's having a baby and what someone did on their last overseas trip. Better than talkback radio!
Oh by the way, if you want service and short queues because your time is too valuable to spend standing in the slowest moving line in Melbourne, do what I do and drive the extra 2 kms to Hadfield Post Office where there is virtually no waiting and the service is professional and friendly. read more
