A 64 year old woman went into the DMV to get her license renewed. She stood at the window for an entire 25 minutes. At first, 3 people were there to help her, but 2 left the room. The one that was left was doing some kind of paperwork.
Eventually, the man came over to her window and snapped "Can I help you?" She said yes, she had to renew her license. He took her through all the paperwork and picture taking. After that was done, he sat down at the computer to finish up, and he noticed her license had been revoked due to a medical issue. The woman explained to the man her license had been reinstated shortly after the incident, about a month earlier, but just got a renewal notice in the mail and thought she should take care of it.
Well, according to this busy man, the computers are 3 months behind. According to this busy man, government union cutbacks are to blame. There aren't enough people to get the work done anymore. He told her she'd have to wait another 3 months to renew.
The woman was pi$$ed. Not only will she have to wait another 3 months to renew her license - she noticed the important paperwork the man was doing after she waited an entire 25 minutes for him. The "important paperwork" the guy was doing was a crossword puzzle!
This post office was a major one in the area I live in. I got there about half hour after it opened. There was a long line, even going out the door. They had ONE clerk. I kept expecting another one any minute now but another one finally showed up when it was almost my turn after having stood in line 45 minutes.
By then some of us had been making comments under our breath about the sorry situation and when the 2nd showed up, I stated that that's probably cause the first clerk has to take his break.
Told my sister and she said that there was only ONE clerk on the day she went to mail packages also.
For crying out loud, it was Christmas - 4 times at least the number of people needing to use the mailing services.
I had a glimpse of the future with Obamacare.
Most of the upstate DMV work for the County Clerks’ now...
If I knew where this happened I would let law enforcement know...
