Needs a 24/7 self-service kiosk. Most of Stamford is at work by time they open and still at work after they close. Hours and offering do not reflect the needs of the community.

Hours said they open at 9
It’s 9:50 and no one is here. No one answered the phone. It’s not a holiday. There’s no reason it should not be open and no other number to call.
