    Firstly, this location is always very busy. I've been here many times and the staff is quite helpful even when busy. A big public thank you to Chelsea who made a recent laege and stressful print up so much easier.

    The parking here is horrible. I ended up parking farther away than the store is. The attendant is a bit rude, probably because he was the only one there. Very busy for 11 am on a Friday with only one person.

    This is a very OK UPS Store. I would have given 2.5 stars if I could, but I went with 2-stars after looking at other reviews and seeing that my experience seems to not have been just a one off. I've never had any serious issues here, however, I have to speak about some experiences I've personally had that align with the uncaring and somewhat immature nature of the employees at this branch that others have also experienced. Particularly, I went in there one day, and saw an employee literally TOSSING packages into a pile behind the desk (I'm not talking 1 or 2 -- closer to 5 or 6). When I approached the desk, I said "this package is fragile, please regard it as such." They seemed to treat the package well, but it made me a little bit worried about dropping packages off there. Then, today I had a conversation over the phone with an employee -- not awful, but still didn't leave a pleasant taste in my mouth. Particularly, I spoke to the employee about how I dropped off 3 packages -- 2 USPS and 1 UPS -- the other day. 1 of the USPS packages has already been delivered, but the other one wasn't even scanned. I think an acceptable response would have been "unfortunately, we don't scan USPS packages, so you may be better off calling USPS about that one." Instead, the response I got was "I don't work at USPS. I can't make any guarantees about USPS packages. This is UPS. For USPS packages you have to call USPS." This, in my opinion, is pretty distasteful and, at the very least, slightly disrespectful, even if that wasn't the intention. I know that UPS isn't USPS (obviously), but since you all accept USPS packages, my question wasn't out of line. I think the staff at this UPS are relatively inexperienced/young, and that may have something to do with it, but I think it would do well if management came in and, perhaps, retrained some of their employees on handling customers and their packages. Not all of my interactions with this UPS branch have been poor, but these stick out more to me than any 'above and beyond' experiences, so I do think they need to be addressed.
