Came to get my passport and was very inexperienced at this and was even missing a document. Kat was more than helpful even with the computers not working, being busy, and me missing one piece of documentation. Thanks to her she made the process easy. Very thankful for all her help!

I came in while there were two other guests there. Only one worker out of the three up front was actually paying attention to guests and the other one who was half doing her job was VERY rude to the man in front of me while he was being serviced. It was my turn and I was SO polite and the white female with blond/light brown hair at the front was disgustingly rude and totally lacks customer care. If you are supposed to be working up front with actual customers don’t be a snobby entitled worker. That is a bad apple that is BAD for business.

They don’t take walk in even though the website says Tuesday and Thursday 10:45-11:45am. She stated she hasn’t taken a walk in almost 6 months. Why not aware the public of that.

What is going on with our Postal Service? The downtown location will not pick up the phone and it says their mailbox is full. Then the miss delivery of the mail is outrageous. Does the Post Office make sure the people working their do not have criminal backgrounds? When you have informed delivery and items that are Private and contain money does not show up it is very suspect. The post office is not what it use to be. I guess it's a Biden thing. ????
