My fiancé and I have visited the Motor Vehicle Division in Glendale 3 or 4 times the past 2 weeks. We were in the process of him getting his drivers license back. Of course every time we arrived we got the typical no smile no hello, just a "next" or "can I help you" (in that I'm annoyed it's busy I hate my job tone of voice) I guess since they do not work in "retail" they do not need to greet guests as they enter their facility. What I'm really upset about is that we were given false information. The first visit my fiancé was told that he needed to bring I one document, and a payment of $155 then he would be able to get a interlock and then he would receive his driver's license. (Yes it's for a dui that happened over 10 years ago I want to say, but the point is he is trying to make things right and do everything the correct way). We returned 2 days later with the document and ready to make the payment so we could move forward with the interlock, when we reach the front counter the not so nice lady flat out tells us no you can't get your license of course we both wanted to argue and explain that we were told that he could if he follows all the steps given by a fellow team member of hers but instead we stayed positive asked to stand in line and speak to someone else, we stood in line listening to others in line with us talk about how bad the customer service was there and how no one their gives the correct information, no one is on the same page, we stayed out of the conversations because we were trying to keep positive "he's getting closer to getting his license back" so we ended up speaking with Diana who got our hopes up high we walked out of there happy and ready for the interlock. She told us all we needed to do was get the interlock placed, return with the paperwork showing it was installed, his documentation they needed and the $155, she also stated that the lady upfront didn't do her job correctly, we even joked with her asking if could see her next time we came in and she replied saying just stay away from the ones in training, I must say she was the only one who greeted us properly and actually smiled. So we made an appointment went to drop the vehicle off to have the interlock installed, with very little sleep we both work late nights/grave, my fiancé signed the contract for the interlock company, his picture was taken, he made his payment and received his paperwork confirming the interlock was going to be installed. There was a wait for the installation to be completed so we were told we could take the paperwork to the MVD and finally get his drivers license!!! We were both excited that he would be receiving his license and we wouldn't have to go back to MVD for a while. When we got there he got his picture taken and we were to stand in line, of course the lady we got to see was the lady who had told us he could receive
his license, but hey we were told by another employee there that she was wrong so give her the benefit of the
doubt, yes of course we were not greeted but who cares by now he is getting his license and we just grew on thinking no one at the MVD smiles or greets so whatever, and BAM! She says you need to complete a revocation packet and start all over, hmm no one else has told us this and we have a dead line, why are we getting different answers, we get an eye roll and a hold on while she walks away to speak to her supervisor, she returns saying you have to complete the packet the one you did before was in 2017, ok but how come you're the only that seen this now and you didn't explain to us last time you just told us no you can't get your license and why did two of fellow co-workers not bring this up? Of course we asked to speak to a manager so she walked away returns a few minutes later telling us to move to another window and wait for her manager because she has to take care of other guests. So we waited at the window for the manager, who approached with guess what not a proper greeting but we were over by now. She apologized and said the packet had to be completed again, ok fine but why were we told by 2 people that we were able to move forwards if we provided the proper documents and payment?? Her answer was I don't know they will be trained again, really that's it? She also said "we are not a retail store we can't just fix what's wrong" of course this is not a retail store, guests are properly greeted at a retail store. I was so upset I could of cried, he was and is still on the right path of getting his license and shut down by false information and cannot get out of the interlock because the contract was signed. We were given a number to file a claim. We asked for the names of the ladies who had spoke to us at our visits but were told they have no way of tracking who all we spoke to, which seems odd to me being that they work for the state. I would think that when an employee looks up someone's information there is some way of tracking but maybe I'm wrong. read more
