I understand where you are coming from on that, but many people don’t go to the DMV very often, so I’m not sure that would have the same impact.

My reasoning for the Food Stamp example is that almost everyone goes to the grocery store at least once, if not multiple times per week.

It would seem (to me) there is more opportunity to see it there, but I’m not sure if the comparison is the best.

In my 38 years (as of Friday) I can count the times I've noticed people using food stamps at the grocery store on one hand, and didn't notice anything particularly unusual about it. Maybe I've not lived in places where there's a sizable welfare roll.

So I'm not sure a food stamp example would be relatable for me, though perhaps it would be to people where you live.

On the other hand, experiences with an overworked and understaffed DMV are nearly universal for people over the age of 16 in most parts of the country.
