- NLN LNov 17, 20251.0How is it that when we get awful employees in this post office they are replaced with even worse employees that don't want to do their job but somehow manage to look busy. Out of the many years I have been going to this post office Blanca is by far the worst yet. Disrespectful, spiteful, and a power tripper. No where does it say it's a USPS policy to not allow people to have their mail until they are damn good and ready to give it to you because they are on a power trip and they get off on pretending they get to make up rules. Does the postmaster know she is acting like she owns the post office. Larry, which wasn't much better is gone now and we are stuck with her? Keep the complaints coming in so we can be rid of her.
- JBJenny BarrettJul 3, 20251.0Worst experience ever! The rudest staff at any post office ever. And that's saying something! Completely disrespectful acting as if we are stupid for not knowing their policy on shipping hard cider. She could've just said that it was against state law to mail the cider. We didn't know. She sent us to UPS on Idaho where they actually took the time to explain that it is a state law & they were very kind. Boo on you post office lady!! 3:15 pm on Thursday, July 3, 2025
- ABalice bakerOct 28, 20221.0Extremely rude clerk who made up his own rules and threatened to open my package and look inside. Being understaffed is no excuse for any of his behavior. 10-28-22 12:03
- RJRobert J Flores JrJun 27, 20221.0Today I arrived at this location at 3:45 PM only to be met with an angry guest who grunted "they closed early today!" At the front of their kiosk was a handwritten sign that read, 'we are closing at 3:45 PM today', and at the bottom of that sign was slogan reading 'We are Hiring.' Just update your 'Google My Business' hours on days like this folks, help out your patrons. Our staffing challenges in most business sectors is a serious reality, and most of us get it, well, except the guest who met me at the door. Finally, if you are genuinely concerned about your staffing needs, place applications at your storefront, post a URL somewhere for a would-be job seeker that points to your ATS, or a QR code. Wishing you all the best of luck at your job fairs here in the Flathead over the next few days.
