- EEemma R (Emmma)Nov 19, 20251.0This may be one of the worst post offices in Sarasota. I hate leaving negative reviews but I really must say this place is just awful. One staff member in particular is horribly rude and disrespectful. Don’t work in customer service if you don’t like people or can at least fake a positive attitude. It’s not that serious my friend. Not helpful, quite slow, everyone looks miserable and just mean.
