I had a really disappointing experience at this DMV location. The woman working at the front desk…read morewas extremely disrespectful from the moment I walked in. Instead of offering basic customer service, she spoke to me with an attitude, cut me off while I was asking questions, and made me feel like I was an inconvenience just for being there. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to be treated that way, especially in a public service setting. I left feeling frustrated and unheard. The DMV really needs to address the way some of their staff speak to peopleeveryone deserves respect, no matter how busy the day is.

One of the pretty standard jokes about painful places that no one wants to go to includes the…read moreWisconsin Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles. I recently had to the DMV Service Center for a title/license plate transfer and like most people, I dreaded going in there. Years ago, I worked in the automobile business and the DMV was about the last place I ever wanted to visit, but had to as part of the job. In the old days, you had to stand in a serpentine line and get a number, like a supermarket delicatessen or bakery. You got a ticket for #85 and you looked at the red LED sign that said, "Now serving 52" or some other number eliciting a load groan. You'd find a chair and enjoy the ambience that could best be described as Early American Prison Mess Hall. When you did get up to the window, you might encounter a reasonably nice person or a transferred prison guard, or at least, someone with that "rules are rules" attitude. If you didn't properly dot your Ts and cross your I's, you got sent back to the chairs to get the form right. Not unlike a high school history exam. No longer! You still have to stand in line to get a number. Nowadays, you get a number that has a letter preceding it. The letters are a code for your visit's purpose. Today it was C for drivers license and I was for title and license plates. You can't tell where you are in the queue because the I and C numbers are very different. Numbers are called by a disembodied, but pleasant, computer voice that are also displayed on large video monitors on either end of the hall. People are still taken in order, first come first served, but the decor has changed from Battleship Gray and tan to bright colors and decent lighting. And the chairs are reasonably comfortable. The window operators today are there to help, and work with you to make sure everything is correct - at least, that's the kind of operator I've met here in the last few years. When I had my drivers license renewed a few years ago, the photographer (button pusher, actually) made sure I was actually smiling in the photo. Some of the tricks to avoiding long lines include getting there early, like right when the doors open. Download proper forms from the Wisconsin DOT website and get them filled out in advance. Have all your ducks in a row, and try to go on Tuesday-Thursday, in the middle of the month. Mondays are miserable days to go because everyone else does. The week before the end of the month is awful because procrastinators are trying to get renewal stickers. Or mail it to Madison. But sometimes, ya just gotta go to the counter. This one is one of the better ones.
