Since when did the DMV Express offices start charging extra for express service?

Went to renew my DL today at one of the express offices...1st option put name on list wait time 45 mins. 2nd option put name on express service list pay extra $14.00 wait time 15 minutes....one hell of a racket they've got going.
ETA: Is it even fricking legal what they're doing?

So they are giving you an option to get done quicker, you don't have to use it...

Isn't the point of a DMV Express office to get it done more quickly? So, is that like an express, express option?

I love it. I love the express pass at theme parks too. I would pay it at the DMV over most other places because that place sucks.

Time is money. People that have extra cash should be pleased they do this.
It's basically creating a second supply and demand curve where poor people get worse service.

Today there were a lot of people with extra cash...just about everybody who walked in said F'it and forked up the extra 14 bucks me included

They should raise the price of the express service then. Clearly it's too low.

And the income gap widens.

And that is how they get you. I'd wager that the 45 minute time limit is complete crap and simply made up to push people into paying the $14.

I have waited in both. The 45 minute wait was either that or more and felt like days. By the end I wasn't even sure the people sitting next to me were even there for a purpose except to sit.

I thought the same thing when I first walked in....but after 35mins and 5 people whom showed up after me going ahead of me I signed up on the 14$ list and was done in about 10 mins

Does anyone know if these outlets have been privatized?
I went to one and the working folks who had gone in on their lunch hours were thrilled. To them it was worth the money.
I'll also say that each and every desk was staffed, and people were being processed promptly. Whether they paid the extra or not.

I like the option. I did it the other day and jumped about 30 mouth breathing idiots in front of me. I will gladly pay the extra 14 bucks to be out of there quickly.

These express offices are privatized, I believe.
I guess they found a way to get more money to select campaign contributors, I mean contractors.
On the positive side, options are good. As long as the regular price version isn't worse then you could always just do things like before and pay the $14 to get ahead of the line. yeah, it's basically a tax but it also fits in nicely with the Two Americas theme.

You can do so in Louisiana. Drivers are given that option on a rotating basis. I renewed mine online this year.

I'll take the opposite approach. For every five minutes you have to wait, the DMV has to reduce your bill. After an hour wait, no charge. Start hitting the DMV in the pocketbook and something tells me they would streamline the process.
Why should government profit for a job that is expedited? Seems to me they could do that without the incentive, if they really wanted to.
