Busking Permit Adventure

The city has amalgamated licensing offices as of the end of March, which meant that I had to go to the East York Civic Centre at Coxwell and Mortimer to get my busking permit. No matter what your license-related business, you have to stand at the end of a long line. I was in it for close to two hours. Finally, I got to the counter. I handed the lady my application. What is this for? Busking? Busking like how? Busking like playing a button accordion. OK. Do you have a business license. No. OK. She typed for a minute, handed me my application and said, sit down, we'll call you. Sat down for 15 minutes until my name was called. Mister Anchovy, why are you here. To get a busking permit. Busking like how? Busking like playing a button accordion. OK, go to cubicle 6 around the corner. I stand at cubicle 6 for a minute or so. So what do you do? I play a button accordion. Please write that on the application form. OK. You know it's $34.00. Yes. I take out my wallet. No, sir, you don't pay here? I don't. No you have a seat at the cashier's waiting area. It will only be a few minutes. I wait and after a few minutes I get called. It's $34.00. OK. She hands my my permit. I want to clarify a couple of the restrictions. I'm sorry sir, cashiers don't have that kind of information. No? No. You'll have to stand in line at the front. You should have asked your questions the first time. I'll take my chances that I don't do anything wrong. I can give you our call-centre number. We have 3 people who answer the phones. OK. Have a nice day.
