I've been getting that treatment for many years , but , today , there was not a lot of helpers ,
So we ( pleural ) just walked past that Looong line , to the front, then a helper came & pointed to the scrutineer awaiting clients.
Also no chairs awaiting the senior citizens.
So had to use the bus-stop seating when going home for a ' rest-stop ' .
when home had have a good ' sit down ' & a cup of tea , before awakening the urge to do something .
