If every U.S. Post Office operated like the Chicago Park, CA Location… the perception of the USPS would be all good! Jenny goes above and beyond in every aspect of service. She is warm, genuine and efficient… the other 2 employees I’ve met, are just as incredible, however I’m not aware of their names.
This location is an absolute gem in our cozy rural community.
