    If you've got a JCB, it doesn't matter whether a bank's open or not.

    Would you use the JCB for making lodgements or just for withdrawls :D

    This happened to me the other day. I never use the post office but had a letter to send so off I went, I get there at half 1 and I see that it's closed for lunch :confused: Wait around and a queue starts to form and they don't open up until 2.05 :rolleyes: and there was 3 people working there.

    Its not that long since banks only opened on weekdays, closed for lunch and shutdown completely at 3pm except for one evening per week where they stayed open until the shockingly disrespectful late hour of 5pm

    Libraries are worse - my local library opens somethin like 10-4 four days a week, and 1-8 another day, and is closed at weekends. So if you work 9-5 you have about a two-hour window in your week to get to the library. given that it's a leisure activity, you think they'd try to open when people aren't working.

    It is a bad situation, but I think it's mainly due to cutbacks (not sure if this was the case pre-recession, though). My local library has great opening hours, though: open Saturday AND twice (or three times) late during the week.

    So do Post Offices, come to think of it.
    Marino post office certainly doesn't.

    Where I work we don't close for lunch, sometimes we get customers who are surprised that we stay open, one called my boss a "slave driver" for staying open over lunch... I just told her we stagger our breaks.
