    So, as I raced my car across the Yakima River Valley on a Friday night for a salsa adventure…read moreupriver on the streets of Yakima, my eyes caught a state patrol car tucked in amongst the tall grass. Sure enough as I passed, it tailed me, and put its stagelights on moi. "Sir, do you have a suggestion for where I can get a decent bite around here. Your Yelp-iness popped up on my computer when I ran your plates," said the female officer in HER sexy cop uniform. [then I woke up] "License & registration, please," said the DUDE-officer. "Did you know your tags are expired?" D'oh! Yeah, my madcap mind managed to forget yet another thing. I was an illegal...and the weekend just started. Luckily, it wasn't all dire. Turns out Kennewick's Licensing Office was open on Saturdays! Yup, so I made my way there. Now the DMV here in the Tri-Cities is nothing like a big city. Generally, it's a nice experience. You get to see some interesting people, the staff are generally nice, and most important: no long waits. On a Saturday, there was a line, but it was super fast. My transaction went by on the quick. I was legal again.

    As I walked into ste #1 to obtain help, I noted that no one else was waiting; one representative…read more(in the middle booth) had an open chair but she was on the phone. I stood by the wall opposite from her window, holding the next-in-line ticket, waiting calmly & patiently, in her direct line of sight. After about 5 minutes she got off the phone, glanced briefly at me & looked away, & said "next". I stepped up. Another client had just entered - a young man. The representative looked at me & said "I believe he was here first". The young man looked surprised & said "no, she (pointing at me) was" & I stepped forwarded & sat down. I commented that perhaps she hadn't seen me...& the representative said, "oh, I saw you..." in a not-very-pleasant tone. She did take care of what I needed, but she clearly had taken an immediate dislike to me & did not want to help me. I have no idea why, as I was polite, pleasant, smiled, & did not complain about having to wait - didn't act impatient (I had plenty of time & was relaxed) - just puzzled by her attitude! I have never gotten that kind of reaction from a business before!!!!! That young woman clearly did not want to help me! She made it very clear....& I'd love to know why! I am a neatly dressed, 60+ local gal, Very average & generally easy-going & pleasant. I'm not used to having anyone take such an instant dislike to me! She did help me with what I needed, which is good, however.
