Customer service is the worse. No sense of urgency at all

I had a great experience at this location getting my first passport. I arrived about 25min early for my appointment, anticipating a line, but it was quiet and they were able to process my application quickly without any issues. Both of the staff members working there were friendly and helpful. They are clearly doing their best while this location is understaffed and I appreciated it.

Were kind, helpful, and quick to scan a package. Recommend this one over the MLK branch close by.

There’s one person working - doing passport services, so I’ve been in line for more than 20 mins just trying to mail a package (still here). Was also planning to get fingerprinted but the machine is down at this location (along with TWO others I tried). These government cuts are out of control.
