It looks very strange.
Most of the clients at a Social Security office are applying for disability payments (SSI) or relatives of people who are doing that. They seem to have complicated situations that do not fit into the rules and are often quite upset with the examiners. It is not just a bunch of old geezers.
The most irritable ones are usually in their 30's or 40's and are non-citizens. They get very huffy when they are turned away. Or they get real happy when they get some kind of award. It seems to have something to do with their children.
The examiners are in locked rooms and speak to the clients through bullet-resistant glass.
There is an armed guard in the waiting room.
Who knew that the Social Security office was such a dangerous venue?
It makes the DMV office look like a welcome wagon.

The only time I visited a SSA office was several years back. The place was packed and I was one of the few who spoke English.
