- MSMing SiriNov 5, 20251.0The asian lady staff why ? She look angry all the time. not impolite , speak rudely. If she don’t want to work she can sleep at home all day all year
- SMSnow MOct 24, 20251.0I had my own label and I dropped my package in that drop off box meaning I didn’t wait to get the receipt. It was stolen! It’s so expensive! The employees there take advantage of packages that aren’t scanned for. If you use this location please make sure you wait in the line and get that receipt or you will lose money! People be stealing our hard earned money, God will deal with them.
- RGrustedaspie Jon GOct 14, 20253.0the second avenue and spring street location (now an apt building) was likely sold by usps nationally to comply with a 2006 law requiring the USPS to fund their retirement plan 75 years in advance. Law was repealed in 2021. But retired postal workers must accept medicare advantage health insurance as an employer benefit not original medicare. Bethesda lost 2 post office locations to sales to prepay retirement plans- one on Arlington road now an apartment building. The other was a historic building with a madonna of the trail statue. Only USPS location left there is on rt 355 at the bottom of Adagio apts.
