#427 - PUBLIC SERVICE ABSURDNESS 02

PUBLIC SERVICE ABSURDNESS 02

Toumba Police Department (flashback)

I am sorry.

Your application was rejected by mistake.

Here's the refund.

You can take in it the tax office. 

Of course we have to charge 8 euros.

It's our Failure Fee.

SIGN HERE

1) - Practice your signature. 2000?

    - Um... yes.

    - Year of birth?

    - 2000.

2) - Eye color? Brown?

    - Um... Blue!

    - Blue? Are you sure?

    - Yes, take a look!

3) - Hmmm! OK!

    - Fee, photographs, ID card, all right!

    - Where does the kid sign?

    - The kid signs nowhere. You sign and we're done!

4) TAX OFFICE

    - But of course the kid had to sign. All the papers were cancelled and I had to do an application
      from the start. But I don't have time because I'm going abroad in a few days. So I have to take
      a 80 euro refund to take back the passport issue fee. What am I supposed to do? Make a 80-euro
      gift to the state because the police made a mistake?

    - I am afraid that's the way it is...

    - The public service tells me I have to go to the Tax Office to get the refund. But at the cashier they
      told me it can't be done.

    - You are absolutely right. But there's nothing we can do.

- So I have to go to Halkidiki to take my money back?

- What can I say? The state is destroyed. Alas!
