|Mr. Squirrel,
|
|If you will recall, I was recounting my recent experiences with Cali DMV
|recently. The office in question is the San Mateo Branch.
|
|First thing they do is greet you good morning/afternoon. They ask what you
|need. Give you a number and offered a clipboard with a pen, in case you did
|not bring one. Then they say, "Please don't get comfortable. Before you
|finish your form your number will probably be called. If you are not
|finish, don't worry. Just bring it to the window." Clerk at window greets
|you. Then says, "If you are not done with your paperwork, don't worry. You
|can finish it at my counter. I will wait. And by the way, thank you for
|coming to San Mateo DMV." Once your paperwork is done, clerk says, "Thanks
|again for coming. See you again soon." Typical day there for me is 20-25
|minutes from the moment I park to the time I'm running out with my new
|stickers/plates. Well worth the 20 minute drive from my house. It's even
|faster if you make an appointment. Think DMV Twilight Zone. First time I
|went there, I thought I wandered into Canadialand (as my kids friend calls
|it). You know, that cold place up north where there aren't that many
|people.;-)
