I guess the staffs in this branch like to hide at back, and no one usually is at the front desk.
A guy employee has pretty rude attitude to customers.

It’s a great-looking post office, clearly meant for sending and receiving packages to and from Italy exclusively. In that spirit, it serves as a kind of Italian embassy — offering goodwill through the occasional spaghetti and meatball handout. It’s strewn with Godfather posters and, of course, accepts cannoli as payment.
When Silvio passed away, they flew the Italian flag at half-staff.

Their system is always down. The employee’s only job is to tell people to go to a different location because they literally can’t provide any services.
Please shut down this location so that people know it’s non-operational instead of having people come in and waste their time.
