Recently got married and needed to change my name. Going to the SS office was the first step. It…read morehad been a while since I graced the doors of the social security office, and my, how things have changed! I was given an appointment time (10:30), showed up with my documentation, and only had to wait about 15 min before my name was called. After sitting down at the window, I handed my documentation to the lady and within 5 minutes I was on my way! I couldn't have asked for a more pain free experience. The parking lot wasn't full, the security guards were nice and respectful to everyone - - government offices should take note! This is how it's done!

I mean, for a government institute I was expecting way worse. They have a lot of windows but…read moreprobably only half were staffed. Parking lot was full when it opened so maybe it's all employees. I had an appointment here because Houston's SS office had a 6 month waitlist vs only 3 months here. Ridiculous I know. Checked in and Took a number at the self serve kiosks. They passed over my number so I told someone and then they called me by name to a window within 5 minutes later. Total wait time was about 1/2 hour. I told them my issue and they wanted to mail me a new card but here's the interesting catch, they can only mail to a local address. Wtf. So weird. So I gave them my dad's address and that was satisfactory for them and off we went. Not as painful as I was expecting.

I decided to try here instead of going to downtown Memphis. It's a small office with a pretty big…read morecrowd. First thing is the kiosk that asks you a few questions about why you are visiting today, then gives you a printout with a number. There were two of us here to see someone for different reasons so two tickets. We were 9 numbers down and sat in comfortable chairs looking at a big screen that showed which numbers were being served. Each time a new number was up they announced it over the intercom and with the window you are to report to. In order to get to your interviewer you open a door and walk into a hallway and seek out your cubicle which has two chairs and a plexiglass divider between you and the staff person. I like this arrangement because you have total privacy from the room full of people waiting and some semi-privacy from the few people around you. I was called approximately :15 minutes after getting my number and my wife was only a couple minutes after that. We both were getting replacement social security cards plus I had a short interview to do for my son. We both were completed in under :10 minutes after interviewing with very professional and cordial people. Overall I was very happy with.the whole experience from beginning to end. This is absolutely my choice for a social security office even though they try to get me to go way downtown Memphis, nope I am going across state lines to a closer, less crowded and more pleasant outpost. Olive Branch and their crew have it together.

For example say you are using a computer at the library and you take public transportation. Well they have all mata trackers blocked from everywhere Memphis public library, you will not be able to catch a bus unless you wing it and wait forever possibly. When I asked the staff for a simple his lookup, they passed it to every single member as if Noone could simply pull out there phone and help. Very fake atmosphere and disrespectful in a subtle way. The city of Memphis itself is ruined with corrupt police and national guards trying to trigger public pedestrians by hacking networks. This is definitely one of the worst cities I have ever been to and recommend you proceed with caution before making any connection. Last time someone called undercover police on me and claimed that I stole an iPad this is because they debug my computer and restart it and random times when I'm doing schoolwork. But they will let the homeless people and kids play games for hours. They are not nice by any means and do not like to see people especially they're own move up any where on the ladder. They have some info such as my name and schools I went to and the employees there slander my name slick talking every chance they get my name is John Pratt and I hope that they see this review because from here on out I am monitoring and logging everything. I am tired of the false preconceived notions and liars making me look despicable. Everything I come in they have multiple people sniffing and snorting. The gaslighting and lying is ridiculous at this point. I dont know who hurt those women feelings, but I don't even know them nor did I I do anything to them. Also I am not law enforcement. Just a student, but obviously that is enough to pass them off.

MLGW is hands down the most frustrating utility company I've ever dealt with. If I had literally…read moreany other option for electricity, gas, and water, I would switch in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, they have a monopoly on utilities here, and they act like it. Bills seem to double or even triple out of nowhere with little to no explanation. One month everything is normal, the next month you're staring at a charge that makes absolutely no sense. Try to get answers? Good luck. Customer service is slow, unhelpful, and often just repeats the same scripted responses instead of actually addressing the issue. It feels like customers are just expected to accept whatever number shows up on the bill, no questions asked. For a service that people literally cannot live without, the lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. If I could give a zero I would.
