some staff is very helpful and nice and some other staff members are very rude and treats you as if you’re dumb. went to go get my child’s birth certificate 20 mins before they closed and was told it was “too late in the afternoon” so you might as well not go after 4:30 if you actually want to be able to do what you got to do.

The employees at this particular health department today were very slow, unprofessional, and poorly trained. I attempted to retrieve a vital record, something that usually only takes minutes in previous experiences. It was so complicated today and ultimately a failure on their part. Our first visit this morning when it opened, no one in the waiting room, two employees say they aren't qualified, come back at lunch when "the Person who does it" will be here. Came back at 1pm, and again no one in the waiting area, receptionist was so busy watching youtube videos she didn't see or hear me until I spoke twice. I was told again to come back later when "the person who does that" will be back. Or they could call me when it is available. Two hours later I hadn't heard from them, so I call back to learn "the system is down try somewhere else." *Update* The staff went out of their way to make up the deficit by arranging to call us a couple of days later when they were able to print the certificate and it took only minutes to pick up. Hope that's a sign of good things.
