Came in on a Saturday morning to ship a package internationally. There were many people in the post office waiting to do passport applications, and there was a long line of people since this resulted in some short staffing. Keith was very professional and positive, showing no signs of frustration and had a great attitude. He was extremely efficient when helping me, showing me what forms to fill out and still helping the customer behind me and keeping the line moving. I had a great experience and a great start to my day! Thank you Keith.

Sent a postcard and they charged $1.70 for a stamp. it should’ve been like 70 cents. The employees are mind numbingly slow and there is always a wait and a long line

Janice is insufferable, rude, and unprofessional. She's bad at her job and treats people like trash when they ask for help.
