Do you love waiting? The DMV is perfect for that! This office of 'Draining My Vitality' (DMV for…read moreshort) is great for that. If you make an appointment, try to do it for the early morning. If you have an appointment in the afternoon you still end up waiting over an hour. I initially went in without an appointment and had to wait over 3 hours to be helped. I was getting my license renewed/getting a real id. A month passed and I was wondering where my new license is. I called their office (was put on hold for an hour, sigh... more waiting) and they said test pending. The lady on the phone told me to go back to the DMV office to get it overridden. This time I did the 'wait in line' option online so I didn't have to wait at their office for hours. I waited at home for 1 and a half hours and drove in before my number was to be called. When they helped me they said my renewal didn't even start processing yet. They cut waiting times by a lot, I remember a decade ago I wasted about 6 hours at the DMV to get my license renewed, but this is unacceptable. I go in to wait 3 hours to get a my renewal, wait another month only to find out they never started processing my renewal. At least I got a temporary license because mine expires soon!

The DMV historically and iconically is known for its rude and surly employees. This particular…read morelocation does its fair share to keep that spirit alive. I had an appointment. I arrived 4 minutes before my appointment. It was an 8:10 am appointment and the dmv just opened at 8am. Window 13 clerk just says "ID Code". My "Drivers license number or my appt code?" Exasperated he says "no, your last name and the time for your appt." Weird, I wouldn't think of this as a code. I provide the info. He asks " did you fill out the information online?" I said I did but I'd done it 3 years ago and again 2 months ago when I set my appointment, he just heavy sighs and says "go take the test. It's at the wood door." I look behind him from where I was and I can see 5 wood doors. I asked which one? He raises his voice and says "THE WOOD DOOR." I can see that this dude will be as useful as a butthole on my elbow, so I just decide to walk around and fine it. I complete the form in about 6 minutes and I see my 4 digit code next to window 14. I go to window 14 and see they are helping a person. So I stand in the appt line again and window 13 sees me and does this exaggerated eye blink and says "you again?" I gesture to window 14 and say the board says I'm supposed to go to window 14 but someone is there. Then the clerk at 14 says "I'll get to you in a minute." with an edge in his voice. Jfc, this place just opened and all of the employees seem so salty and surly. So I wait behind the woman being helped at 14. I proceed to hear Window 13 be a total dickhead to the next 3 people. He even said to one person "it's my job to direct people and I'm good at my job." In my estimation, this was an inaccurate statement. I will say, that while my window 14 person started off surly, he was quite nice by the end of our transaction, but here's the thing: Most of us don't work at the dmv and most of us are not going to the dmv more often than once a decade. We the general public don't have an intimate knowledge of the building layout or the systems in place. Maybe if these DMV folks showed a little bit more grace and understanding, they would get less flack, less flack would mean less stress, less stress would mean less dmv workers that hate their job and show it at the beginning of the shift. Customers service is hard and some customers a just total buttholes, but you can't treat every customer as an automatic butthole.

Efficiency? What efficiency?…read more I booked an appointment online and showed up on time. My number wasn't called until 50 minutes after my scheduled time. An appointment that should have taken 15 minutes tops, took well over an hour! The person who helped me was very friendly and did his best to speed through the paperwork, but the wait time is just ridiculous. Making an appointment ahead of time is no different that just showing up without one. Even showing up 10 minutes early, I was just given a number that was behind 14 other people. I know these 14 other people "showed up" before me, but I feel like people who make their appointments ahead of time should be given a different group number or be put into a different queue to be seen faster...otherwise what is the point? I know DMV employees are just trying to do their jobs, but with the way they run the place, it's not really surprising why so many people get mad or irritated with them. They really need to figured out a better system!
