the older lady with short hair is so rude. I may start driving to a further location just to avoid her. God forbid you need some help or make a small mistake because she will yell at you and make you feel stupid. i dont say this lightly, she needs to be fired

Wow. The reviews are accurate. The woman working there was snarky, condescending, and too busy watching a show on her phone to be bothered to help me. Awful.

I had a very upsetting experience at this location today. The staff member spoke to me slowly and in a tone that felt condescending, as if I couldn’t understand English. When she lent me a pen, she told me not to forget to return it because she had already lost three. That made me feel not only mistrusted, but also like a child or a schoolgirl being watched.
Later, she said the way I wrote the number “1” looked like a “7” and told me I should “write it the way we do it here.” That comment made me feel like a stranger, as if I didn’t belong or wasn’t welcome here.
I’m a U.S. citizen and an immigrant. My nature is gentle and polite, so I didn’t confront her in the moment—but I left feeling ashamed, anxious, and I even cried afterward. I’m doing my best to call this place my home. Experiences like this make it harder.
I always treat others with respect, and I believe people—especially those working in public service—should treat customers with the same courtesy in return. I hope USPS will make sure all employees are trained to treat everyone with the basic respect every human being deserves.
