You'll love my town then, because the exact same things can be said about some of the people working at my local post office.
Fortunately, the post office in the next town away is close enough to be an option for me and the employees there are, at least in my experience, all friendly and knowledgeable despite being over worked and under paid.
Where I used to live, the DMV was like that. When I got married, my wife moved to my state, and brought her car. She had the hardest time getting it registered in our state. It was like the DMV had never encountered this situation before. We went there several times, and each time they rejected what the last person told us to bring, and demanded a different document, so we'd go home for that one. Eventually, someone asked again for the first document, and we were at the beginning again.
So one day, I decided to try a different DMV office, and I was in and out in 15 minutes, with the car registered in my state.
It seemed that the Republican state had decided to privatize the DMV, and sold each office to a different "franchisee," to manage as they please. Clearly the first one we went to was doing a terrible job, while the other one, 10 miles away, was operated competently.
We moved to a different state several years later, where the DMV is amazingly efficient. It never takes me longer than 30 minutes, and most of that is waiting. When I hear jokes about the inefficiency of the DMV, I think they should check out ours.
