I was in town this morning and head to swing by the Social Security office to take care of a little business. What a clusterfuck. Evidently, you need an appointment to get anything resembling prompt service. The office had eighteen (18) numbered windows for customer service, and there were no more than a dozen of us waiting. They were using exactly two (2) of those windows for customer service. After an hour-and-a-half, I simply left. Had other things to do.
I'm busy the rest of the week, but I'll call them when things calm down and make an appointment.
I ought to DOGE their asses.

Went to my local office maybe 15 years ago. Once. First, NOTHING at SSA is simple. Kind of like the tax code. Next, the people working there seemed only mildly interested in doing their job, customer service. Their pace, if I can elevate the proper word to that level, followed their level of interest. Hopefully never again.
At least you. can get IN the office. We can't even do that out here without an appointment!
I have only dealt with SSA by telephone. I am fortunate. My contact is a squared away career USAF Major (Ret)
However, when one of their office drones calls me, I only say, Talk to Tony. That twists their bubble but apparently they are so awed or scared of him that they hang up.
Everyone wants to fire federal workers then is suprised there aren’t a bunch of people working at the local SS office.
This was a problem long before DOGE.
