The 3rd clerk I was shuffled to fixed the registration. After you get in line and finally make it to first clerk she tells me dealer needs to fix, salesman says dealer called Registry and was told I need to appear because of Vet plate. We get number and wait 1/2hr and finally get number called, walk to window hand male clerk both plates and incorrect Registration and explain situation and he says no go, dealership must fix. I point to salesman and he repeats that Dealer called Registry and was told I need to appear. He says no go, I need to go to insurance agent and get stamp and back to dealer to fix. I tell him negative and he pretty much tells us tough shit and to move on, he has other customers. I start calling my insurance agent and women in next station leans over and says I'll help you.
We move to the right to her station, wait for her to finish with customer and I hand her plates and registration. She tells salesman dealership should be able to correct but says she will fix it. I'm glaring at the previous clerk and contemplating asking why he couldn't fix it but look back at the 3 Armed Guard and since I'm carrying I bite my tongue. 10 minutes later we're good to go and head back to dealer for sticker. This is why I was so pissed I had to deal with these morons, typical govt. stooges. Even the woman who helped us had no personality and when I thanked her for helping us she never even replied to me, not even your welcome.
Gotta say, "this is Mass".
The DMV in CT sucks. Lines around the building, pisspoor service, just awful trying to get anything done.
Moved to GA. Check out the DMV's website, fill up a folder with the paperwork they said I needed, walked in. Standing in line, lady walks up to me, asks me why I'm there, I tell her (new resident, license). She makes sure I have the required paperwork, sends me to a kiosk, tells me to get a number after that and wait to be called.
I wait, about 15 minutes, (maybe). Number gets called, I go up, we go through all of the paperwork, (this is for a "REAL ID" GA license). Finish up, clerk tells me that I'll either have my license or an explanation of why not within two weeks. 10 days later my license shows up.
Take my brandy new license down to the county admin building, walk in, get photo, prints, fill out app, write a check and get told that they'd call me in about two weeks. 10 days later they call me and I go pick up my weapons permit.
If GA can do this, MA and CT can also. But they don't. They just suck.
