Because I can read the first time, I grabbed lunch early and got there at noon.  Also, this place is a basement of a strip mall that gets shitty cell & ipad bbs'n reception.

Gross, poor people all over the place down there.  Great neighborhood though.

Just did this a couple months ago, was very quick and minimum contact with poors was nice.
Neighborhood is garbage.
Got food poisoning from the Taco Bell near there a couple of weeks ago.  :barf: :barf: :barf:

That place is a shithole. i had to go there for my CDL driving test a couple of months ago.  The Andover station is much better.

Maybe I don't know my audience, but I thought the more thumbs-down-worthy aspect of all this was the repeatedly wrong time-stamped texts they sent out, not so much the neighborhood.  :dunno:

it's convenient that you were lied to via text message instead of sitting in a waiting room for several hours, though.

I didn't look (thought I was running out of time) but I think the nu-way over there might be open now.  SHOUTOUT SAUL!

Anything to do with DL renewal is shitty.  Color me surprised that their time estimates were mumped up.  Also, for the record the neighborhood is OK.....just the DL location is a shithole.  Really like the Benjamin Hills area to the north and west.

You need to bold the stuff you want to emphasize, or else all of us self centered assholes will just use your post as a gateway to talk about ourselves.

Thought about it, but settled on thinking everyone here could see the same subtle WTFs I did over the course of 2 hours.  Live and learn.

no no, that's the first thing I noticed.  Really the only thing.  pretty much :dnr: the words but looked at the times.  I even did math in my head on the first two and got the gist then moved on. Lotta careless time-wasters in this thread apparently.

I'm not a superstitious man, but my family knows this artifact of kstateo history is not to be disturbed.  Royals tix still safely in pocket. Not gonna lie, hangs nicely next to my sportcoats.

Rookie mistake, anyone doing anything drivers license related in the Wichita area should go to the Andover station.  Worth the trip, its much faster and much less grimy than Indian Hills.

Thank goodness I live in a small town in a small county and don't have to put up with crap like this.

They don't need to, they don't even use that system, there's never more than a dozen people in line.  The office is literally the size of your living room & kitchen.

I'll check it out if I don't like how my new DL pic turned out.

Also, why is there a KS DL station in what I presume is Missouri?
