Horribly lazy and rude staff. Would rather tell you to do things online than work. And not believe you when you say you can't complete something.

Review for Hetal: Met the nicest Employee, not just in USPS but I think in any of my customer service experience, here at the Pleasanton location. Hetal helped with my passport application, answering any questions I had even she was helping other customers with patience. When I had some info filled out wrong, she made sure that I got it all correct and ensured I wasn’t hurried given that it was her lunch break aswell. Thank you Hetal for leaving a good impression on behalf of all of USPS staff.
She gave me a QR code where I can leave review but the USPS website wouldn’t let me do so if I did not choose the Livermore location. So leaving in here and hoping that USPS sees and give her the credit for an outstanding customer service.

I had an appointment for my passport, but I couldn’t get it done. They gave me poor service and said I only had 15 minutes to do everything, and my time was already up. I wasted my time for nothing.
