When trying to explain that I was overcharged for a stamp ( they charged me 2.75 for a large envelope instead of 1 single stamp) the girl who step in to help the cashier became extremely argumentative. Luckily John was there and was able to help out and fix the situation. The girl nearly screamed at me when I simply stated that the stamp was the wrong price. I don't even trust that the envelopes are going to make it to the place they're being mailed to.

Worst costumer service from an Asian man when I was trying to return my package, 0 empathy and 0 professionalism values. Never back again,

Brought my own box to ship something using priority label. The guy asked me to buy a tape. They don't even provide tape. No wonder USPS going down the gutter

I traveled miles away to go to this postal office because on their website it states "Wednesdays, passport walk-ins til 4:30pm". However, when you get there they tell you they close at 3pm. Not only was I there, but 2 other individuals, who like me found it convenient to go there due to the hours of service. Then you have the so called manager, saying there's no personnel available to help us with our passport application... so you mean to tell me the manager is not capable of providing that service? That is misleading, they just make their own hours and rules as they go. They simply put a piece of paper, hand written with their preferred hours. This is not fair for the working individuals that are trying to juggle their busy schedules.
