    Useless place of business it makes me want to vote republican. They really don’t like it when you fight their rudeness with rudeness either. The worst part is when I asked to speak to a supervisor because the employee was not helping they did not get one. They just continued to lecture me on what I did that was wrong. Complete lack of empathy from their employees. No desire to help others

    As others mentioned, this USPS location is extremely slow and rude. The only plus side is that they open for 30 minutes longer when others close at 5 p.m. This angry woman Martine that always works at the desk is the worst! She will tell you to wait when she wants to take time to look on her phone while working (is that even allowed?), she obviously hates her job but can't get a better one. I never see her smiled at anyone, always had this attitude face. When it's 5 minutes away from closing, she creams " the door!" to her coworker like if they don't close it, zombies will come in and eat her. I try to avoid going into this post office if I can make to any other ones before they close at 5 p.m. Nobody wants to see an angry sloth working at the desk.

    Let’s be honest reviews don’t matter nobody cares and it’s government funded by our taxes so it’s never going anywhere or going to improve. Systems suck, staff sucks, lobby sucks basically the most useless place on planet earth next to the RMV. Just wish UPS and FedEx wasn’t so expensive or I would avoid them at all costs.

    This is the WORST USPS location in a 15 mile radius. The customer service is horrible. Often times I hand them presented letters and will ask “will these go out today?” And in most cases I am completely ignored and sometimes zero eye contact. You may have to repeat yourself 2 or 3 times to get a response. Boldface blatant rudeness. They do the absolute bare minimum and enforce rules that are convenient for them but they don’t follow all the rules. Stay away!

    The drivers don't respect rotary and also get mad if you beep and stop the truck to complain. P.s: at the middle of the route. This happened 5:35ish on Tuesday
