One of the worst post offices I have ever been to. All things wrong with a post office are here. Rude staff, and close earlier than they are supposed to.

Door is locked and it says they’re open but no one is around.
12 people say they’ve been waiting over 30 minutes and the security guard saw them but they still haven’t opened.
I’ve been here 3 times in the past few weeks and it was fine, don’t know what is happening.
