The reception is irregular, sometimes downright abominable, especially at La Poste. The client culture is not yet fully entered into the manners of some of the agents of La Poste, who sometimes know to be downright horripilants, impatient and at the limit of aggression. Ask whether the thick windows of safety that separate customer agents have not been put in place to protect them!
