Why are the DMV workers so rude and pushy!?

LOL...good question! I totally agree. They make you feel like you are doing something illegal every time you go in there. I've resorted to getting my annual tags online. It's faster and I don't have to be tortured by our local people.

where i live we have a dmv office with 30 windows and 12 employees
my local gov. decides we need another location with 15 windows and 5 employees
wouldn't it have been wiser/cheaper to hire more employees at the original location than build a new bldg. and buy more computers to sit and not be used.
So from now on I refer to the DMV as the department of monkeys and vegetables
Basically you could train a chimp to do that job and most likely a vegetable as well

They work for the government and can't get fired. If you work for a private company, you would not last long being rude.

I deal with the DMV on a weekly basis putting leans on cars for work being performed.

I have noticed that they are pretty rude, but underpaid NO they make pretty decent money doing this simple job.

I would say it is a authority thing.give them a little and they take 5 miles.

They know you have to do this so why make it fun????

I now have my own lien processing I do myself due to the idiots at the DMV - and I also get my personal tags online.

They do not report to anyone, neither do their bosses. Really, it's that simple. To spell it out, they're not worried about losing their jobs.

You'd be too if you worked with or for a bunch of incompetent people....the State officials.

Simple: for seven hours a day they are gods, weilding the power of driving or not driving over our tiny heads.
Ugh....

I suspect that they are paid by the insult?

Well, they have worked there for years, are bored to death, and sick of the people, and are putting in time to reach retirment. They work for the government and its hard to get them fired. You have to make a formal complaint so that the behavior is changed, if a clerk gets enough complaints they can get fired. Ask for a manager, if the manager is also rude, you can go online and make a formal complaint to the regional manager. Don't be decieved they get paid very well for what they do, and they don't do it very well!

Because there government employees and they know you HAVE to come to them to get your tags. Therefore no customer service is required.

They are Civil Service workers, low paid and poorly supervised. Also where I am, they are made up of immigrant minorities, and by virtue of holding a government position, seem to feel that they are untouchable.

I have always wondered the same thing. I think it is because they are always so damn busy. Imagine the people they encounter when they are busy people get irrated and rude. I would hate to spend 8 hrs in there I can barley stand 15 min in the DMV.

Cause they know they can get away with it.

Mostly because they're over worked and under-paid. Not that that's an excuse but probably the truth. I hate going to DMV but I think I'd hate working there even more!

I'm in Massachusetts where corruption in government is legendary. I break out in hives over ther prospect of a trip to the DMV because the people in there are so rude and hateful. I have a small business and am going to ban any municipal, state or federal employees from puchasing from me. The really fun thing about being me is that I can afford to do this!!!

These rude people are in every where. Today I visited NC DMV Cary (Maynard) and experienced a very rude and insulting lady taking pictures for IDs. She was taking pride by insulting other people. Nooni is right. these people are hired for sole purpose of insulting others
