The bar code scanner at our station was working when I went and not when my folks got there just after I left (like less than 5 minutes after I left) *shrug* It took me max 10 minutes to go through the process and my folks, even with the defective scanner, no more than 15 minutes. We did miss the bus from the retirement village though.
