Woman at the front desk cussed my husband out as soon as he stepped in the building. Acted like their customers are an inconvenience. Needs fired or put in a position in the back because she clearly doesn’t know how to talk to people

I wish I could give less than 1 star. I have never in my life not been at least greeted when I walk in. The lady pretended I wasn’t even in there and when I asked for help she replied with “what do you need” We all don’t want to be at work. Cheer the heck up and don’t be so rude.

Today I had to do a certified mail with Receipt. The woman who greeted me at first glance (seemed stern and wasn't gonna be friendly) then She just whips on this smile that lit up the place. I told her what I needed and in the process a woman in a wheelchair came in with a wheelchair and she had gotten her a Birthday gift. Another woman came in going on about being a grandma finally to a baby girl. She just knew everyone and they all just loved her. She was not your tipicle stamp, press, NEXT.....Always be the rainbow in someone's dark clouds..More people like you need to be in the world.
