Ok- talk about humilitating!! David and I went into the UPS store where they do live scanning to get our fingerprints for the department of justice (DOJ) and FBI. We went in thinking it was going to be an easy, 10 minute ordeal, and get it over and done with. The store was busy in the first place, after 15 minutes of waiting, we were called, and I, Amy was first up.
The guy doing the fingerprinting grabbed my fingers, and started his work. In great shock, I noticed my fingerprints looked like a bunch of lines with no grooves or contours in my skin. He had me use some lotion that is suppose to help expose more of the grooves and contours of the skin on the finger, but unfortunatly, it only helped a little. To make matters worse, a 5 minute deal turned into a 25 or maybe 30 minute deal. He was patient and did the best he could, but my fingerprints were still rejected. The guy said the system will reject them at first to make sure it is not the administrator and if they show the same problem when I go in again, they will accpet them on the basis that it is the best print they can do. SO SO Humilitating. He said some people just don't have clear fingerprints, and that alot of times if I wash my hands alot it happens. He said nurses and doctors especially have the problem. So I am waiting for our rejection letter so I can go back in and get them accepted on the basis that that is the best fingerprint they can get on me. To top off the lame experience, the guy said our total was $310 for both of our fingerprints, because they go to three different government agencies. Talk about pure robbery- that should be illegal- but then the government is the best at taking money.
