All I needed to do was get out of the hospital, mail a package to a buyer. I got pain pills, I got the box. Now to get a label from the self service kiosk.
Or not.
I don't have the code to get into the building. I stood outside the doors and just cried. Then I left. I can't believe I went through surgery, can't go to work for another fortnight, loaded up on pain meds to get this done and nope.

I went into this post office to mail out an item, and i was line for about ten minutes the smell of rat pee is so over whelming, it was unreal. I felt sick for days after I left there, I don't know how that place is still open in these conditions. This causes lots of health issues and can cause death on any employee/customer. "Gene Hackman for instance". (In this case it led to death for him, his wife and the pets), that's how serious this is. I don't understand how they can allow the employees to work in these conditions. This needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP.

The worst usps I’ve ever been to. The people who work there are so unkind and make you feel uncomfortable. Also, I’ve NEVER had to pay for a roll of tape just for them to seal up a 6 inch area.

After standing in a long line, they refused to put tape on a pre paid label unless I paid $4 for an entire roll of tape. I shared that I didn’t have my phone or wallet on me and he did not care at all and told me I’d have to “figure it out.” Why is usps the only postal service that won’t tape a label on a package? It’s insane.
