    This is honestly the worst post office I've ever seen. I went there to mail a few documents priority mail. The employee was completely disinterested in work. She has her earbuds in and was actively on her phone as I walked up and handed her my package. Didn't ask if I needed to mail it certified or anything else, just entered the address and told me to verify address on kiosk. I asked her about sending certified mail and she again told me to verify address, but this time with more attitude (I assume she didn't hear my question). I asked again, and this time (without taking out earbuds) asks me "What?" like I'm annoying her by interrupting her video. Take your damn earbuds out and you might be able to hear me. Finally at the end of the transaction the kiosk asks me what receipt I'd like, so I select "print and email." The kiosk says, "tell your associate the email you'd like the receipt mailed to," but I never got the opportunity as she clearly bypassed it on her side and just handed me a printed receipt. I took my printed receipt and left. I wince every time I have to go to this place because virtually every transaction unfolds like this. There are millions of people who would kill to have a government job like this. But....these are the people we hire? Are we okay with this? Why do we tolerate this?

    My friend and I recently had a quite unpleasant experience at the postal service office. We were assisted by an older, tall, thin gentleman who told us we needed to pay $20 and present an ID, like a driver’s license. My friend didn’t have a license, but he did have his passport, which the employee accepted. After we filled out the form, the employee said everything would be ready by the next day, maybe Tuesday or Thursday, and that they would set up the lock or key mechanism then. However, as we were about to leave, he suddenly claimed we hadn’t paid and made us pay another $20, even though we had already done so. It was hard for my friend to defend himself since he doesn’t speak English, and the employee was quite rude and unsympathetic. In short, we felt poorly treated and ended up paying extra due to a lack of clarity and empathy.

    Terrible!!! Some day we don’t get mail. We subscribe to newspapers, but because of them some days they just decide not to run. Can’t get anybody at the post office!!!!

    I've heard a lot of bad things about this location; however, my experience was a pleasant one. I had a package that was somehow delivered to Alabama, but a really pleasant and knowledgeable employee named Tiffany searched and located my package. In addition, she called me every other day to let me know that she had not forgotten about me. Tiffany went above and beyond her duties. Thank you again, Tiffany.
