In this part of the world I had a different experience. Years ago Motor Vehicles was free enterprise. A private company leased its services to the state. The experience then was much as you describe.
At some point Motor Vehicles was nationalized, or statified, or whatever. The personnel became state employees with opportunity for advancement. A few weeks ago I was in and out quickly, served by pleasant people, and paid by VISA.
