Went there at 9am to send a letter, forgot my cards but had 20$ bill (stamp is 75c). They didn't have change for 20$ bill, so they sent me "to buy something and return with exact amount". How unprofessional!

Avoid this location at all costs!! The wait is never less than 20 minutes. I've waited over half an hour before becuz I had too. One employee on a Friday afternoon. They do not know how to function! The line since I started typing this is now out the door and it took 35 minutes and an old woman wanted to lodge a complaint and the clerk started humiliating her in front of 15 people. I can't come here anymore it's worse than the DMV if you can believe that.
