  • It is very difficult to understand what the intake people are saying since in addition to the plastic shield many are wearing masks. When the techs come out to call people's names, if you don't have a buzzer, they stand in the corner of the room instead of moving more to the center to call names. Are the buzzers cleaned between people? I always find the office to be chaotic; some people are more professional but some are not.
