Problems with almost all of the DMV’s I've had to have the pleasure to enter, is not with the public( although there are a lot of them who believe in the Hillary philosophy) but the apathetic employees. They have a routine government job that is based on the assembly line method. They are there for their shift and collect a paycheck. Most of the ones I've encountered could care less if the line is 10 deep or 1000 deep. When I have been assisted by a attentive employee, I find myself forgetting the torture of waiting and appreciate the efficiency of the worker who has to put up with the masses

Line cutters are the bane of the DMV.

And these are the people who will run single-payer health care.

OTOH, the last 5 times I’ve been in a DMV (3x in CA, 2x in NV) the service has been quick, accurate, friendly and efficient.

Go figure.

CA DMV offices are like the Star Wars bars scene. Always.

After a recent trip, I asked my wife where all of the normal people go to the DMV.

I figure that “normal” people only go to the DMV once every three years or so.

The folks that get tickets, lose their licenses, fail tests, lose their insurance, lose their plates, change addresses every 2 ½ weeks and get their cars impounded are in the office quite often.

I can’t speak for all the DMV offices in California, but being able to schedule an appoint in a reasonable short period of time has helped cut a lot of the waiting. And if you have all the paperwork ready, you get in and out quickly. I have written letters of appreciation to DMV’s in two different cities because the personnel were efficient and friendly. I know that many people don’t always have the same experience, but I give credit when it is due.
