Have been to the Lake Elmo Post office a couple dozen times at least. Have had nothing but friendly courteous service regardless of who’s working there. We’re lucky to have a post office in our small downtown. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

When an employee tells you that it’s a good idea to go somewhere else because you made a simple mistake on your package and they close in 2 mins. Such a shame people don’t take pride in any work they do or take pride in how they treat others.
