Pressing Business Visiting servicemen look after their clothes. All day long the press-while-you-wait service stations in Wellington are thronged with U.S. Marines, waiting for their uniforms to be pressed into the correct degree of smoothness. They ’ will even doff their trousers in the back room and wait in order to get that crease which means so much to the smartness of their appearance. They have patience, too.

If they could not get immediate attention they left; whereas Marines would wait their turn without grousing.
