The service at this post office is some of the worst I've ever encountered. Lazy employees that are not helpful in any shape or form. Avoid this post office if you can. They don't care about what they do or their jobs. The USPS should restaff the entire branch. Absolutely terrible. One employee working that yells while checking their phone to talk to the other employees about who called them while the line just grows and grows then is frustrated when they actually have to do something. Horrible.

This post office is staffed by people who are unable to even speak. "ahmmm, ummm, ya now what I sayin" they then sneak back for 10 minutes at a time, come back with only 2 actual words (in between uhhhh and ummm) of information. Almost as if this person is high.
