Postal Service Removes clocks

The Houston Chronicle is reporting that the Postal Service fixes long waits by removing clocks:

The Watson Post Office is one of the nation's 37,000 post offices in which clocks have been removed from retail areas as part of a "retail standardization program" launched last year. The effort is designed to give the public-service areas a more uniform appearance, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in Thursday editions.

"We want people to focus on postal service and not the clock," said Stephen Seewoester, Dallas spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service.

People should consider this when thinking about how health care would work if run by the federal government.  For health care, they'd remove calendars.
