Long waits in line during the holidays...

I know that the holidays are exciting and everything but there's one thing I dislike about having all these people out and about. And that is the super long wait at places like the bank, post office and even the store. It's such a hassle sometimes. Just today, I went to the post office to buy some stamps and ending up waiting for over half an hour in line. It couldn't be helped because our post office took out their stamp dispensing machine a while back. And just moments ago, I had to wait another half hour at my bank to deposit some money into my account. I'd usually use the ATM machine but I was dealing with quite a bit of money so I figured it would be better if I deposited in person. And worst is going to the stores. It doesn't matter where, they're all packed. That's probably why I'm still putting off my Christmas shopping trip.

You know what, saizo, you'll have an even harder time to shop for those Christmas gifts by the time you decide to! The stores are getting fuller and fully by the day. Even the most quiet stores are turning into busy, human-filled rooms where you can never get out unscathed.
Regarding those lines in the bank, I think it's best to use ATM's.

Well, for the last few years I have doing my shopping a few days before Christmas and I always go really early in the mornings or really late at night. I'm stuck working during the day so I don't have much time. Even at those times there are quite a few people about but it's not as hectic as in the daytime so I don't really mind. And I would have used the ATM but I was depositing a large sum of money at the time so I felt that it was better to do it in person. Normally, I'd just use my card for my purchases instead of trying to withdraw it from the bank. It's easier that way.

This is one hassle at this season of the year.
The long wait in line...not only at the malls,banks and other facilities,but even on the road.
As x-mas is being near,there are traffic everywhere due to shoppers and gift buyers the most.
Even with travelers,there were lines with the ticketing offices(plane and ship).
Have a nice day always friend
