I have never met a nastier woman working as a customer Service representative when you first walk in the door. She literally grabbed everything out of my hand and then asked what are you here for without me being able to say a word. She said oh this letter it’s your insurance company’s fault n go around the corner return your plates , get a receipt and go to Eatontown office because we can not help you. What kind of service is this? She really set a tone for the rest of my day that I had to complain. If you hate your job that much please don’t take it out on your customers.

Receptionist when you first walk in the door was very nasty. She grabbed my paperwork out of my hands, then asked what are you here for without letting me explain and said this is all your insurance companies fault n go around the corner to return your plates get a receipt and go to Eatontown because we can’t help you here. The lady clearly hates her job and takes it out on innocent people and I am writing this so it doesn’t happen to other people .

NJ is a corrupt state and the people that work at the DMV are typically political cronies that are beholden to their political parties. The more beholden to the party they are, the higher probability that they are in leadership positions. If you don't believe me then look them up yourself to see what their qualifications are and how they got their jobs. With 0 qualifications they have high power jobs with NO experience. The last time that I went to reregister my car, there were problems that THEY created and I did not leave there for 3.5 hours later and in tears. THEY LACK SYMPATHY AND DON'T CARE!
