- WRWanda RobinsonDec 23, 20255.0Everyone is SO NICE !! I LOVE coming to this post office !! I am always happy when I leave !!
- MSMatt StarnesDec 5, 20251.0I ran into the McDowell Post Office and when I came out there was a guy on the other side of my car he started driving towards me and I stopped him and had him remove the boot on my car. He wouldn’t apologize. I was parked legally, showed him my stamps and receipt. Asked him why he booted my car. He said he saw it earlier. I said it’s December at the post office! Then saw the guy talking with a female post office employee. USPS, please fire WheelBlockers! 🛞
- SSSergiNov 20, 20251.0Terrible service and worst worker. Lady was so angry and rude on me because I didn’t have the exact amount of money
- VVVladNov 16, 20251.0After hours lobby scanner is broken and won’t let you in.
- LPLauren PadillaOct 30, 20251.010/30 at 4:30pm - the two ladies working had the only attitude and rudest tone of voice when talking to me and others. Then one of them had the audacity to ask why I chose the ☹️ option when asked about the level of courtesy. Very confrontational and inappropriate. Maybe be nice and fix up that tone when assisting customers and you’ll get a 😁 rating… if you hate working there, being helpful and talking to people… why do you work there? 😆
