During my recent visit, I came in to mail a single Apple earbud that my son accidentally left behind during the holidays. When prompted at the screen to select a mailing category, I selected regular mail and saw a $2.44 charge. I am not a postal employee and am not familiar with mailing rates, so I reasonably relied on the system’s prompt.
The clerk informed me that the $2.44 was only for the envelope. I acknowledged that and agreed to the next quoted price of $7.80 without any issue. However, she then made the comment, “I cannot believe why people think they can mail a package for $2.44,” said directly in front of me.
I found this comment unnecessary, unprofessional, and disrespectful. I was polite throughout the interaction and simply trying to mail a small item. As a customer, I should not be spoken to in a condescending or judgmental manner for not knowing internal pricing.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time I’ve experienced poor customer service from this individual. This interaction was disappointing and does not reflect the level of professionalism I expect from the post office.
The Post Office should reinforce basic customer service standards, including respectful communication and professionalism. Employees should not make condescending or judgmental remarks to customers who are unfamiliar with postal procedures or pricing.
Staff who repeatedly demonstrate poor customer service should receive corrective action, up to and including removal from customer-facing roles if behavior does not improve. Customers deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect at all times.

I mail in the thousands for my business. I drop everything off at this location. The employees have always been great at this location. USPS has been great with my deliveries over the last 8 years... Their delivery times and success rates has been exceptional.

Delays in package delivery literally every time. Never get a package on time. Constantly creating new tracking numbers. I have perishable items in the mail and they are late every single time.
