The worst post office to go to. Do not waste your time at this trash. Service is terrible. The old man who works here deserves to get fired. He always has an attitude every time I go and slammed my package on the counter loudly before tossing it into a bin. Always good to the employees and give a bad attitude in return, especially the old man. Closed the door on me and ignored me when I asked a question politely. They literally click the green symbol to rate themselves a 5 star service after the transaction, which they DO NOT DESERVE. Every time I come to this location it’s horrible and never improves.
Workers always have an attitude at this location. If you do not want to work DO NOT WORK. Nobody wants to be attended by bad mannered people. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE GO TO ANOTHER POST OFFICE FOR BETTER SERVICE.
