Village of Forest Park

I have had terrible experiences with some of the people at the front desk when going to pay for something as simple as a village sticker. Actually got scolded by a woman when I asked her how long of a wait the line was. She told me that I had two months to get my sticker (even though I wasn’t late in going to purchase it) so I shouldn’t complain. Excuse me, but I do not need to be told how long I had to do this. All I asked was a very simple question — Has the line been moving quickly, and about how long of a wait? She knows nothing of what my time is like, and even if I did put it off, why does that give her the right to scold me about it?! I think the customer service leaves much to be desired!!! If this was just a one time experience, I would have let it go, but it has been every single time I have been in there. It’s a real shame.

The tax to keep a vehicle in F.P. is $ 25/​year. –It actually escalates & is more expensive the longer you wait. So the used car I just bought, was just bailed out of the shop (an F.P. business, mind you) on Sat. When it turned the 15^th (when the stickers were due to be on the cars), their meter maids drove to the ends of the earth (in this case, private property) to give out their tickets. This 2^nd car of mine was due to be moved out of state, but I had to have IL plates and work done before that could happen. So, now I’ve paid for an entire year’s worth of taxes when it will be here, in fact, only a week. How freakin’ convenient… for the Village of F.P.
Then, to add insult to injury, the $ 30 ticket from the 16^th had the WRONG license number, the car’s make and… address they found it at (only). So, when the ticket comes due, guess who’s getting the fine? – Some poor S.O.B. in another city ’cause I ain’t ‘representin’ to make their life easier by just paying whatever they slap on a windshield.
Then I come home today (now 3 days before it gets transported to another state) and there is yet ANOTHER $ 30 ticket on it. WTF… You can ticket $ 30/​day until the $ 25 is paid? …Don’t tell me it wasn’t the same freakin’ idiot that thought a «2» was a «5» just yesterday. What kind of freakin’ mental midget do you have to be to hold down this job and why have I been trying so hard to be re-​employed for nearly 2 years? All I had to be was a half-​whit on some Operation Boot Strap program & this idiot little burg would have given me shelter, apparently.
How do you join this blessed Meter Maid Union wherein you need to know nothing, do shoddy work, get paid, and fuck up other people’s lives? Surely, somebody out there can tell me how to sign up.
