    THIS IS FOR ONE OF USPS POSTAL EMPLOYEES. I HOPE MANAGEMENT READS THIS REVIEW. Yesterday 10-20-2025 in the zip code of 93309 area my doorbell rings and a usps mail woman says that she needs a signature for this letter. I asked her twice who it was for...she finally answers me pretty much with an attitude saying "SIGN"! for and says my mother's name...I told her Im not going to sign for her to wait here and I will get her. She looked annoyed that I asked her to hang on for 2 to 3 mins..went and helped my mom to the door as she is disabled...I went to take my dog outback and when I returned my mom said "well she was rude"...apparently when my mom went to the door the postal lady was gone. She left to go deliver mail across the street. My mom walked to our mailbox to wave the lady down and she came back over to my mom and told her you know anyone can sign this for you. And my mom said "Or not". And after my mom signed it the lady rolled her eyes again and left. I went out front, mind you I am irritated and upset, anyone would be after hearing about a stranger being rude to your disabled mother. I remained calm and went across the street and asked for the ladies name she said Susan and Susan's whole attitude changed and she seemed like a brand new person with manners (all of a sudden). Asked her for her last name amd she wouldn't give it. Asked her what office she worked at amd she said stockdale. So if this is where she works management may wanna check your employee with their attitude or maybe she just should interact with people in general.

    I love that I can’t ship my items on Columbus Day totally not a annoying inconvenience. Especially since they had a drop box that is filled to the max.

    I went in there for passport photos and was very impressed and how friendly the two ladies that were working the counter. I asked one just to review my application that I was going to mail in in I didn't have an appointment for that but I had an appointment for my pictures but she did so anyways. Make sure you give yourself enough time especially if there's construction that was my problem I left at 11:00 a.m. thinking it was going to be enough time but then there was construction and I was possibly 5 minutes 7 minutes late but they still took me for my appointment I really appreciated that
