and yeah, them disappearing...what's annoying, yesterday, last thursday of the month, so busiest day of the month anyway because everyone has to get plates sorted, and thursday is the longest day of the week there open, 13 desks, only 4 people manning them...

Not only in time but also in attitude - the staff were great and so polite. Even apologized for keeping us two minutes longer to wait than they told us! So I know your pain and so grateful we moved to civilization
