24 booths, only six are staffed.
Confusing number system..

The express ones are better, but can't do what I need.
Been here since 9am. I'll never get called, lol.

Because they get paid no matter how many (or how few) "customers" they process.

Fact.

They're copying the Wal-Mart customer service mantra......450 lanes......3 open

I got there when they opened and waited 2 hours. It's insane. There was a guy next to me who was 280th in line. I would have just left and took my chances with an expired license

That's exactly what it is.
I stopped going to Wal-Mart, but have to go to the OMV.
This stupid ticket from Texas has me all messed up.

That's why you get there before they open.

Another helpful hint is to avoid times that people can usually get away from work. This mainly includes lunch hours. If you can get there at like 9:30 or 2:30, you'll wait less.

not much left except in first class, but you lose your sense of taste at altitude

Really this is the best advice. You probably have to take a little time off work, but it drastically decreases your frustration.

I went to Ace License and Title on Jefferson Hwy in N.O. yesterday for license renewal. Was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Unsure of your needs, but its a thought.

There's a mega center about 30 minutes from me. 50+ booths staffed and different sections for different needs. I "got in line" via my phone, drove over, and was in and out in 15 minutes.

I feel like Napoleon should already know this, but I have to share it with him if he doesn't.
