Some of them are such busy places that queues are often out the door in my area, and it's funny because it has an automated entry door.  It's amusing watching people deal with the door when in the queue.

 

Anyway.. half the people at POs seem to just wanna pay a bill which can be done online in a minute.  I wrote to AP about eight years ago suggesting they setup a self-serve pay station for bills and they thanked me for the suggestion.

 

I read last year that they are now trialling them in some stores.  I've never seen one though.


We have a self-serve station at Gympie PO - unfortunately it doesn't seem to answer the purpose as they allocate a staff member to man it to explain how it works, so that means one less person serving at the counter.  Smiley Happy  And the one time I went to use it to pay car registration, I was told it does not do car registrations.  Smiley Surprised

 

Also a self-serve screen where you can calculate postage, find postcodes, etc - but, it seems that is also too hard from some, as they call for assistance from the counter to find out how to use it !!!!
