The clerk was very rude and if you ask her a question regarding which method is best way to ship, she answers in a tone which you should already know the answer with an attitude. We definitely have a choice when it comes to mail and this location I will not use anymore.

The USPS woman who is always there is rude and preposterously discourteous as a matter of course. She should not be in contact with the public. Complain to US Inspector general on the web. This needs to stop. You are paying this woman with your taxes.
