Second location I went to in under 10 minutes with the second employee taking a personal call while at the desk, 7 people waiting deep. Rude to everyone who came up because they couldn’t tell if she was talking to them or the person on the phone. I left. Not worth it. Embarrassing. I should apply for USPS if that standards are this low.
