  • A miracle at Lebanese banks

    Breaking news! Lebanese banks & postal services implement numbering system to avoid waiting in line and to save time!

    .

    .

    BEFORE: we had to wait in line.

    .

    .

    THEN, THE MIRACLE: Numbering system

    .

    .

    .

    .

    2- Get informed of "THE MIRACLE".

    .

    .

    3- Nag about it and try to negotiate a faster deal. "But my transaction is fast!"

    .

    .

    4- Resignedly go to miracle and not know how to use it. "Hmm. This looks like toilet paper!"

    .

    .

    5- Have someone explain the "right" way to use it. "you only get one ticket!"

    .

    .

    6- go back to waiting in line

    .

    .

    7- When your turn finally comes 40 minutes later...

    .

    .

    When your turn comes, lady interrupts

    .

    .

    "Madame get a number, please!" "But my transaction is fast!"

    .

    .

    Take the lady to step 4 and repeat to fade

    .

    .

    If you’ve been at a bank [that I won’t name] or at Liban Post lately, then you have surely noticed the new “numbering” system. I had to wait about 40 minutes for my turn to come, so I thought that I might as well observe and analyze the different interactions happening there! 🙂 I wonder how long it will take for the new system to be understood by people coming for transactions!

    I’ll now leave you with this beautiful song, covered by Eva Cassidy “Song Bird”. Have a beautiful day! 🙂
