Horrible at telling people what's going on and gives no cares about telling you they are robbing you I asked why my ticket went from 420 to 535 and they said "we gotta get paid"

I’ve been treated with so much respect and kindness from almost everyone in that place besides the lazy woman that sit in the dang circuit clerks office all day an do nothing but eat an play on their phones… Yet they are the most RUDEST ones of them all. Not every person that walks through that door is a CRIMINAL. Some are just trying to resolve issues in their legal situations or trying to make the right choices for their kids when it comes to family court, I’m so bright eyed an nice to everyone of them ladies an they are just so rude. Especially over the phone they don’t even say have a good day, bye Nothing it’s click. Hang up. Be KIND!!!! The world could use more of it. An if you hate your job that much. Leave.
