Horrible customer service and body language from the African American lady w braids in the morning shift of Nov 19th, she did not care and did not have the right attitude, sadly, and she's a federal worker, you would say she should be nicer, a little kindness goes a LONG way.

Went to the post office today to drop mail off and to buy stamps. Believe it or not the post office was out of stamps. This was 9:30 in the morning. How can the post office not have any stamps. Unbelievable!

I walked in this morning and a lady was yelling at the staff over something out of their control. I hated seeing this & the staff did such a good job handling the complaint, as i’m sure they have a lot of practice. My letter was sent quickly and I experienced great service here as always.

Post office opened at 8:30 am but the lady said the window clerk is running an hour late. So cannot send my letter off because nobody can sell me a stamp. Really hard to believe but it happened.
Edit: Sent a complaint via USPS website. Got a canned reply.

Dear Mr. HH, unfortunately on that day we did not have anyone to provide window service due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconveniences that this may have caused. Thank you.

As you can see in the reviews here, not a one time thing. Bad.
