  1. I went last month to the KSDL branch in Olathe got there at 6:40 in the morning was done and gone by 7:20. I'd say there was that many waiting to get in when I was there. 12 years ago I waited longer than this at the Mission branch. So the wait times to me seem the same as they have always been. To me getting tags or a DL in less than an hour isn't something to bitch about. I did see a number of people who didn't have the correct paperwork they needed and a large number were going to have to take a test and driving test so thinking you will be in and out in a matter of minutes is showing your complete lack of comprehension. TV5 must be having a slow news day to drive to Olathe to report on what isn't an issue. They should be downtown checking up on the lies shoveled out by Go4KC.
