I live in Oregon, I went in to get my concealed carry permit for Washington, and when I inquired who I needed to see, I was told bluntly "oh, we stop doing that at 4:30" and the woman simply walked away from the counter and sat down at a computer. When I told her the website says 9-5 Mon-Fri, she said "well, that's wrong". I told her I work Monday through Friday, and today was my only day I could do it, she said "that's unfortunate" without looking up. I checked my watch and noticed it was 4:33, and when I asked if I really missed it by 3 minutes, she said "oh, did I say 4:30? I meant 4".

Getting frustrated, I said "let me get this straight: the website has the wrong information, and since I have a job, there's nothing I can do?" Her reply was "you could try going somewhere else". When I asked what she meant, she said I could go to any county because I'm an Oregon resident. I asked if there were any others open, and she said "no, there hours are less than ours".

If the woman working at the Washington State Sheriff's Office in Vancouver is a volunteer she's still grossly overpaid. What's the point of having public service if they don't serve the public?
