With every due respect for the budget constraints on USPS, this is the third week in a row that I've come across town to check my PO box, only to be greeted by this sign. Management, please find another staffing solution, and thank you for your service.

I would like to file a complaint regarding the post office in Cleveland Park.
According to the posted hours, the office closes at 5:00 PM. Yesterday, I arrived at approximately 5:05 PM and found it already closed, which, while slightly inconvenient, I understand may happen occasionally. However, today I made a point to arrive earlier, at around 4:30 PM, only to find that I was unable to enter. There was a sign indicating that the office was closed for lunch from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
This situation is quite frustrating, as it effectively prevents customers from accessing services during the final hour of operation, despite the official closing time being listed as 5:00 PM. For those of us who plan our schedules around these posted hours, this creates unnecessary inconvenience.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I showed up at 4pm with stated hours of a closing time of 5pm. The door was locked but staff was inside. They finished helping a guest and the. Put up signs that they were closed for lunch between 4-5pm. As the employed unlocked the door to let out last customer, I asked if she could help the people in line and I was met with a blank stare and a relocked door. Oddest experience I’ve ever had at a post office.

This post office is the most unfriendly post office that I’ve ever encountered! Furthermore, they arbitrarily shut down whenever they feel like it. For instance, I came today at 4:10 to find a sign that said “out for Lunch 4–5 PM”
I came back at 4:55, saw a light turn on and the lady look at me at five 158, then shut off the lights and shut down the post office outrage
