I recently went to the county service office (where you also renew driver's licenses) to buy a book of land maps just published....showing the plots of land people own in the county. I could have paid shipping and ordered it online, but decided to stop by and JUST PICK ONE UP...ha! I walked in and there were two lines...one to wait in for renewing license tabs, without taking a number, another where you took a number for renewing a driver's license, getting a passport, or BUYING A PLAT MAP BOOK?! So I took a number and waited while people had pictures taken for licences, etc, just to go to the counter to ask for and pay for my book . Meanwhile, the clerk in the other line was free and I could have been out of there!Momnoreply@blogger.com
