Today I needed to complete a transaction at Medicare, so at lunchtime I went to our local shopfront. By the time I took this photo, I had been waiting for my number (A129) to be called for about 30 minutes. That was okay. I expect to wait when I attend such places during the lunch hour, and I certainly wasn't the only person having to wait. But then I saw the woman in the picture come and take her number (J856) and she was called to the counter within SECONDS! And so I immediately came to the conclusion that there is some conspiracy whereby certain people have a special access code that they put into the ticket machine that gives them preferential treatment. Maybe she's a current or former employee of Medicare. Maybe she's a member of the government. Maybe she's boffing Medicare's CEO. Whatever the case, her speedy transaction bothered me.
