Lots of cities have day laborers standing around home depot. Kudos to the city of Austin for…read moregetting people out of the hot/cold/wet weather and giving them a place where people can pick up labor. It's important to know what to expect for a first timer like myself. I just needed some help unloading the truck for moving into town which I knew would only take a few hours and wasn't ready to pay 'professional' movers $60+/hr. When I arrived at 1pm (time is a relevant consideration for later), a gentleman walked out from the inside to greet me in the parking lot. Asking me how many people I would need, how long, and how much I was paying (per hour). He informed me I could just take the "next two guys in line" or select two guys. When I walked in, I was quite surprised. You are put on center stage so be ready. It was a pit-type area with several rows of chairs and about 25 guys just sitting and waiting. The gentleman announced what I wanted, how long, and how much I was paying and then the hands started going up with yelps of "Hey buddy!" "right here!", "I'm strong". Sighs of unhappiness went out as soon as I picked the second guy as the others knew they wouldn't have work. I drove the two guys back to my place, they helped unload the truck. We took a few breaks where I got some of their life story over some water and sodas. Nice guys. I kept in mind that they weren't professional movers, so with a little emphasis on caution and taking it easy with the big stuff, there wasn't any drama and wall scrapings. How much you want to pay is up to you (I overpaid what I said I was going to pay). It's in cash at the end and directly to the guys and you're expected to drive them back to First Workers afterwards. KEEP IN MIND: These are people trying to get work and make a living. 1) How long are you having them for? They're hoping for a full days work and most of them show up early in the morning. If you're only doing a couple hours, they're not likely to get more work afterwards. Even if you pick them up late in the afternoon, it's likely they've been waiting all day. 2) Don't be afraid to pick who you want. While you can have the facility go in order and just assign someone, feel free to ask if someone has certain skills or past experience that may help with what you're looking for. You can also make sure you don't get someone that you don't feel comfortable with if it's for something in your home. Overall, glad the city has this place set up. Sad that there's so many people willing to work and can't get any!

Both times I went in, the service was shockingly rude and unprofessional. It's clear the employees here have no interest in helping anyone. Even when I spoke kindly and respectfully, I was met with complete attitude and zero effort. The overall energy is just off the staff act like they don't want to be there I even overheard one staff member saying "I wouldn't be here if they weren't paying me", and they do the bare minimum. The building itself doesn't help either it's dark, dirty, and honestly feels neglected. Whoever took these photos they're completely outdated and misleading. Both visits, I was simply trying to return a small Amazon package (a foundation, nothing complicated). I don't have a printer or tape at home, so I politely asked for help, and was flat-out denied. I left, went out of my way to print the label elsewhere, and came back another day. A different employee helped me slightly, but still told me I had to buy tape and tape the box myself, then immediately started helping the next person mid-conversation. I left frustrated and unwelcome. For something as simple as a return, the process was painfully difficult. I didn't even get a receipt and wasn't sure if that was normal. It's unfortunate because the location is convenient, but the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy ruins it. I'll be driving farther out from now on for better service. Hopefully management sees this and does something about it this is easily the worst USPS experience I've had anywhere.

The reason for my visit was to file paperwork and get it notarized so that I can defer my property taxes since you can do that when you turn 65. I got here before the lunch rush on a Tuesday which meant there was no waiting and parking was available. Turning in the paperwork and getting it notarized was easy and convenient and at no cost to me. The person at the front desk was very helpful as was the notary. It seems to be a more pleasant experience to defer ones taxes with a 5% annual penalty than to actually protest ones taxes. Either way, they get their money in the end. At least it was a pleasant experience.

The other was entered as a case but bungled so miserably they lost notarized , written testimonial evidence. The exact type of evidence is REAL WRITTEN DOCUMENTARY evidence that demands protection during receipt, storage, transfer , disposition and disposal. The OPO is a duplicate office of the APD internal affairs but a far less competent and far below satisfactory performing agency. But the APD internal affairs cant be trusted to investigate dirty police. That is why the city commits waste and abuse duplicating agency in place office. The OPO lost the evidence , then fabricated excuses , then lied but have said im " banned " from the building. Banned is comparable to a rock song from guns and roses. Banned due to words used and verb-age. This is only introduction. There is plenty meat to outrage over. Pending At this point i have 2 open case with the city of Austin Office of Police Oversite. 10/20/22 my pov was towed from a paid parking space. It was on my Chase Bank debit card. I was assigned a case worker and to date there has been no official response to why my pov was towed despite paid to park status. Led Zeppelin would say "Its been a long time since I rock and rolled." But in thos case with Austin OPO ots just 3 years due. Back to case number 2. I slight storm entered and left the 78750. Im driving my 2008 Dodge south between Lake Creek and Spicewood Springs Im in my own lane and stayed there. From behind i am hit by late model Cadillac Denali. Right away the driver is trying to evade contact. I get out of my pov at great risk and locate white in color SUV. That is how i will refer to at fault vehicle going forward. I make contact with 60-65 yoa white man with his window down. He agrees to meet in strip mall parking lot. Ive snapped a picture of his tag and have my documents in hand. I get close enough to observe a heavy odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from his person. I am dialing 911. As his breath knocks me over , he starts his car and is leaving. The 911 operator tells me " no police available and orders me NOT TO FOLLOW. The driver gets away. The city of Austin has a responsibility to man 911 with trained competent emergency operators. They do not, did not and will not. 911 tracks all police officers 24/7 and know exacting location of all on duty police. Its not even a new technology. Its been around for decades. There is an officer on scene at a less priority call that can break free and look for two tons of steel on wheels operated by a drunk. That is a weapon that will /can/would/might wipe out you and family. The entire handling of this has been a ridiculous escapade of emergency service failure. I completed a APD affidavit issued to me by OPO. I got it notarized and took it to the OPO. I hand delivered to OPO and went on my way. No receipt was issued and that was OPO failure 1. A piece of notarized affidavit issued a written piece of real evidence . It requires a CHAIN OF CUSTODY. The mishandling of evidence brings instant credibility issues to the OPO. The unwillingness to do a job as assigned and required by a civilian assistant to then COP Chacon is unacceptable and stands alone on its own dis merit. Janet Jackson is performing superstar. She is from my hometown. Its only reason I know who the administrative assistant that wont do her job a few years ago. Right away I experienced barriers to effective communication from the OPO. On two separate instances , i drove to OPO and made contact with front desk. It was summer and I was advised the office was closed due to AC issues. Yet most or some other offices were open. I really dont know much else at this point. The next time I went to the OPO I eas advised the affidavit was lost /misplaced/thrown away or discarded with no known location available. Never again did I come aware the OPO ever had the paperwork. This has transpired pver a few years and I KNOW THAT DUI fatal accidents proliferate on the streets and highways of Austin, Texas. Its going on NOW. My car was total loss. Never recovering at all from impact of felony hit and run primarily SCREWED up by 911 dispatcher upon initial report. During first year of my case the OPO director was tired of dealing with me and i was advised by front security desk that am banned Director Ellis was advised of my intent and presence and came dowm out of his own office in person. Ellis is a veteran USMarshall agent. He should absolutely know how to receive, safeguard, process, transfer and dispose of REAL DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE. But Ellis took wasted LEO resource and called on duty APD to trespass me. The APD arrived on scene and DID NOT TRESPASS ''me because he is street cop and know im not there as hobby.

While pondering if the stop light sensor is broken, or if I should kill the engine and wait. It's not like this town has a traffic problem, quite the opposite, I suppose. Maybe that's because nobody has enough time to wait for this on a regular basis. Yea, I'm sure you'll appreciate the looooong stop lights in this city if you're not from here.
