Are there no competent people left?

AAA customer service rep on the phone yesterday: “Is there another city nearby? I can’t find Tucson.”

(That’s because it was listed as the West Tucson and East Tucson offices.)

Arizona MVD today: “We need to have his signature. Send him a form to sign and have notarized.”

(I signed an affidavit and the car title and both were notarized by MVD itself last month! I guess you needed to sign a statement saying that your signature on the affidavit that you signed in front of them was your signature.)

And don’t even get me started on Verizon.

  1. You want the short answer or the long answer? 😉

    I opt for short: “No.”

    You consistently make me glad for my decision to move to ABQ versus Tucson.

  2. Oh, I didn’t mean to single out Tucson. That’s just been my recent experience and, truth told, most of the problems are with people on the telephone who may be god-knows-where. I’ve been gone a long time, but I think of Tucson as my home town — high school, college, graduate school and my two oldest children were born there.
