Beth was very pleasant and efficient. I have a lot of experience to support that opinion. Keep up the good work.
Gentlemen at the welcome desk today was informative and kind to all who came in before and after me. Only thing I didn’t like was the wait time.
Not enough employees no way to accomplish anything in under 2 hours. No idea what priority is given to each person. Unacceptable amount of time to accomplish the simplest tasks.
The guy that takes the driver's license photos at the Ridgedale Service Center in Minnetonka, MN takes the least flattering photographs EVER.
Your Burnsville DL office was not able to process DLs or IDs today, and we were told that was the status statewide as well. It would be quite helpful if that information could be posted somewhere (on the locations' or State website possibly) so that the public does not needlessly go to the site. And how do we know whether/if the location will be fully operational tomorrow? The Burnsville location's phone was not answered on several occasions when called for an update today.
