I waited at the U.S. Post Office for over one hour while Jade was assisting a customer with a passport appointment. The passport service took an extremely long time, and no other employees were available to help the waiting customers. Several service windows remained empty during this time. After finishing, Jade left to take a break without arranging coverage. Customers were left waiting with no assistance or explanation.

Useless reviewing USPS but the folks here are the most unhelpful I have seen. The black woman running the Saturday show seems to get a kick out of yelling at folks to stand behind the line while rolling her eyes. Go elsewhere if you value your dignity.
