The worst USPS location. Staff have a serious attitude problem, and will snap at you for asking for a pen to fill out necessary forms (???) and not give you said pen. Go to CVS, I guess and come back! The entire desk is cased in bulletproof glass and to have a package shipped you have to slide up a door. The whole thing is bonkers.

Extremely slow. There were definitely 2 employees, but only one was working for whatever reason.
