So was I when I went about 5 years ago, except my assumption was based on 
my experiences at other Mass registries.

I think the horror stories come from all the other registries in the state.  I've
dealt with others besides Nashua St., and they are everything you expect.  When I
went to Nashua Street it was because I lost my license.  I thought I was really
in for it then.  There was no problem with my IDs and I think I was out of there
in 10 minutes.  

NOW, Framingham on the other hand is awful.  I went in to renew my license and 
was there for about and hour and 45 of it was waiting in line. Explain that one.  
Another time I went in to change my last name on my registration (I got married). 
I was standing in front of the woman and spelled my new last name one letter at 
a time, and she still screwed it up.  Granted my last name is not easy, but I 
spelled it, what more could I do.  

It's not just Framingham, Lawrence is pretty bad too.
