Go in any government office (starting with just about any post office, if you don't believe this.) When dealing with a public employee these days, you're lucky if they can speak english. We have three orientals at our post office who must have all just fallen off the boat. One doesn't have the slightest concept of our money system, and gets a bewildered look when you hand her a bill and she has to make change. (It's guaranteed that your change will in no way correspond with what you should have been charged.) The second speaks pigeon english but doesn't understand it when it's spoken to her, and the third doesn't understand the various postage classifications, and charges whatever she wants, regardless of what you ask for. Don't bother asking for the supervisor. He's worse than they are. Used to be a failed, worthless clerk, so they promoted him.
