The staff was mostly helpful, except for the security guard who said I could not use my phone to copy down my social security number when filling out forms. I tried to tell him I wasn't cheating on a test but he would not hear it. He became aggressive so I just put the phone away and continues to use it when he wasn't looking.

You are not making it easy to sign up for an appointment to get a real id card. This sucks. I've been on here for a half hour. Tried through online, tried phone. This sucks.

All I want is an appointment to take a written drivers test. It would be easier to get access to the White House! I have gone through an interminable list of menu options and tried the telephone option, all to no avail. If testing is a legal requirement, you could at least make it somewhat doable for the average citizen. Fire your web designers and start over!! And for God's sake, hire a human being to answer your phone!!
