[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s what it feels like to be in a HS classroom right now! Sorry OP the DMV sucks in normal times but I feel you on an enclosed room with tons of people being uncomfortable.[/quote]

My husband's theory was the employees were mad to be back in person and were transferring their in person rage to the clientele by forcing them to "feel the pain". My theory was DC government doesn't give a * about Covid spread and had made no provisions/provided no instructions. There are a 1,000 things they could do, from booking appointments in buckets with crowd limitations, to blocking off chairs and allowing people tostand instead of being all scoldy and fearing a riot (though this is somewhat rational considering the mood down there), to air flow measures, to outdoor kiosks (why is this not a thing anywhere?)...the whole thing was sort of insane.[/quote]

Your husband might be onto something. I was at the DMV a week ago trying to beat their 9 September deadline. The entire thing appeared arbitrary especially when taken as a whole.

Not allowed to bring coffee into the DMV. I guess so that you can't just leave your mask off while you sip.

You can't sit on the marble benches. You can't stand to the side. You can't lean on a wall.

You CAN sag your mask under your nose. Probably because all of the employees are doing that.

I did not see any air filtration and when I asked about it I was told that I could leave if I did not think it was safe.

My husband says that they like reminding you that they have all of the power. [/quote]

Yes, so much employee mask sag! There was definitely a DMV love it (or hate it) or leave it attitude. It was sad though...there's a part of me that hoped DC would come through Covid better, just have taken some time to improve and be DC 2.0. There were good ideas on efficiency that Covid gave rise to that could have been plucked etc. Instead it's same old same.old, and no regard for the still rampaging Covid virus [/quote]
