" It is a tough job" seriously, they do nothing but sit around all day and sometimes they are rude and sometimes they are nice, but tough job?
Watching the idiot travelers that they have to put up with is why I would say it is a tough job. I was in a customs line in South America and listened a US redneck yelling at an agent because the customs agent couldn't understand HIS version of English. After traveling internationally for the last 20 years I have watched travelers become more and more rude to the public servants that are trying to do their job for their own country. I think travelers forget that they are guests in the visiting country and that they have no right to critize the processes and practices of that country. If we don't agree then we should vote with our feet and don't go there.
