Is any states DMV actually efficient

[Christine]

I wouldn't call my DMV inefficient; however, I've never gotten out of there in under an hour. They all seem like they a working and moving people through, there are always just a LOT of people there. At any given time. They don't take appointments for anything either.

It took my son an hour and 10 minutes to get his learner's permit, it took my daughter that long. It took me about an hour to get a car retitled from my father's name to mine. Everything seems to take about an hour.

CA DMV-4 hours without an appointment the last time I had to go in. Won't make that mistake again, hopefully. Forgot the name of the poster here in Carmichael but they probably know the one I went to. The line was out to the street before the doors opened.

I was sent a copy of our state worker newspaper. A reality show is going to start filming CA DMV offices, ala "parking wars". I'm surprised they are allowing it. We're guessing they are going to concentrate on the more outlandish customers.

Must have been the one on Broadway, although the Carmichael one can get that way. But, with an appointment, you bypass all that. And it does occur to me to ask, why would you go to the DMV anyway? Almost everything can be done online.

To top it off, I was the only white person in there so the receptionist chose to call on me by pointing that out. "Hey white girl they're ready for you now." "Hey white girl your photo is ready."

What did you say when they said it the first time? cause I am very mouthy and I would have something back , especially a public servant saying that. See, this is why DMV's may have security in them, for dumb workers like you encountered.
