It was last year, mid-August. I had to wait for nearly four hours to get an ATM card. It's not your regular bank card, you know, but it's a student one where only students are eligible to get it. I was in the post office at 8 AM and I only left at 12 PM. The whole time, four hours, I had to wait. I just sat there playing games like Subway Surfers and some other games on my phone. It was the most tiring experience I had, especially in the hot weather. To add to that, the post office was full of students because they were all in a rush to get that card due to the slow processing of applications in the union. All the unions in Tunisia accept only payments from that card.

And to add to that, that day it was full of students, post office was full because all of them were in a rush in order to get that card because of the line of penalizing your application in the union is slow.
