Worst Post Office ever, terrible customer service, the system is always down, the workers sit in the back and talk loud while customers stand in line for over 5-10 min (even when the bell is rung or when customers knock on the cashier window) etc. We deserve better service in our neighborhoods!

If I could put a no star I would. They need to close this location or hire new staff, the female in the front does not DO her job & does NOT even try to help. Just rude and dismissive. I agree with the rest of the reviews.
