If I could give negative stars, I would. The employees here get paid but seem to work fewer hours. Before I even walked in, they shouted “closed already” — even though it was only 2:13 PM and their posted closing time is 2:30 PM. This isn’t the first time it’s happened either. One word ~~ bad 👎

Today9/10/2025 (around 2:00 PM), I had a very unpleasant experience at this post office. A younger staff member kindly offered to help me with my two packages, but when I followed her instructions, another clerk suddenly came out and spoke to me in a very rude and condescending way, telling me to “get back in line” even though there was no line and I was only doing what her coworker asked. She even rolled her eyes at her colleague. Her behavior was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. It made me feel very unwelcome.
