[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 362092, member: 25553"] The waiting time for a Compostela or other item offered at the Pilgrim's Office is directly related to the number of folks waiting and the number of staff (including volunteers) available to process the requests. It is a simple, linear relationship. The presence of lines or the physical plant only indirectly affects this relationship. That said, the appearance of people picnicking, or lounging about casually as if in at a park is vastly better than standing in queues for upwards of an hour on a narrow street. However, the space available DOES make a difference, at least perceptually. I assess that the lines will be a thing of the past, depending on the new procedures, as hundreds of waiting pilgrims can be accommodated on the enclosed grounds. I recall from last summer that there is one car-sized gate in and one car-sized gate out. I hope they use these gates to good effect and only allow pilgrims with credentials onto the grounds. This will vastly improve security. Hopefully, they can stop all the non-pilgrims from casually walking through the property. I look forward to my next volunteer stint there in 2016. While the date(s) are to be determined, my heart is there. I would also like to be part of determining the new procedures they will use. [/QUOTE]
