Drove all the way down here on my lunchbreak only to find out the entire office is closed from 12-1 Huge waste of my lunch

The clerks are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly with taking your money. With the way inflation is thru the roof and politicians refuse to do anything about it but collect taxes anyway. Is plainly, taxation without representation 🤔

I waited until the day before the last day of the month, and popped in 6 minutes before close. I know, I'm so sorry to the employees, I normally try not to do this. But I got my sticker and was out the door before they closed. Super awesome employees, never would've thought it was closing time. Next year I'll have to plan better. Thank you guys again!!!
