Queued the whole way up the stairs, had to wait half an hour. Got to the desk and the staff member was so unhelpful, didn’t even bother to even pretend checking if my parcel had arrived.

Awful service provided by a lady called Emma. Dark hair, glasses. She was extremely rude.
I went to take some money from western union and she got an error message, made me call western union, the lady on the phone confirmed everything was correct. The western union woman spoke to Emma and said she hasn't got time and hanged the phone to her and shouted to the next customer.
How is it possible to work in customer services and don't have time for your customers 🤔? I'll be contacting head office about it

This is good post office but it also is in WHSmith that is good as it's down stairs.

Extremely rude and unprofessional staff. I arrived before the advertised closing time but was refused service. When I asked a simple question about the closing time, the staff became hostile and even threatened to pull the alarm. Absolutely unacceptable customer service. I don’t understand how people with such a terrible attitude are allowed to continue working here.

1 lady serving was lovely, helpful, quick (but not rushed) and efficient.
