And the week leading up to my birthday continued to be fun. For example – I opened up my mailbox Friday to discover the rubber duck I purchased at the Lowell Riverwalk had crossed the finish line – and I won $100!
However, that money went directly to the Secretary of State to pay for my license plate renewal. Don’t you think the least the Secretary of State could do is give you a slice of birthday cake or a Little Debbie or a Twinkie when you go in there and pay for your plates? If I hand someone $108 for a license plate – I’d like something more fun than a sticker handed to me by a disgruntled State employee.
They KNOW it’s your birthday when you go in there. I think it would help improve customer relations! They could at LEAST say, “Happy Birthday!” to you…
