Needed to facilitate some changes to my SSI details yesterday so stopped by, being aware of federal protocols, entered unarmed & w/o cellphone ~ noticing with interest nothing posted on the door(s) about anything prohibited or special instructions, e.g., weapons or cellphone usage, etc.
walked in, no usual guard at desk, oh there he is entering the empty lobby from other side of the room, walked directly to machine to enter my info to get my "ticket" to see someone, and heard in a loud voice from behind me state..."you don't have any guns, knives, your cellphone must be...' darn forgot my pocket knife...without a word turned from the machine and walked out the door to my vehicle and took my three inch clipped-to-the-inside-of-my-pocket knife off putting in the door pocket.
walked back inside to the machine to continue entering my info and heard the loud voice state...'what did you take out?'; i continued poking the machine and heard...'you have to tell me as i have to report it.'; continued to ignore the rant as i tended to the machine's questions and then heard...'you know it's a federal offence, a felony, to bring prohibited...' i quit listening, grabbed the machine's proffered ticket and sat down in the empty lobby awaiting a rep to call me back into the inte-sanctuary to get my business done.
rent-a-cop was just sitting there muttering to himself.
for an empty lobby took 6 minutes to be seen 4 minutes to fix my issue ~ longest time spent was the rep couldn't get my SSN into the system correctly...
looking for proper channel to see whom shall receive a formal complaint...
