I had the worst experience at this USPS location on March 19, 2025. The (little black girl with ponytail) employee tried to force me to sign a certified mail receipt — something only USPS employees are supposed to do. When I calmly explained the correct procedure, she became hostile, falsely accused me of wrongdoing, and unlawfully tried to detain me inside the building. I later confirmed at another USPS location that I was right and that this employee did not follow protocol. I will be reporting her to USPS leadership, the Office of Inspector General, and filing a formal complaint. This is just the beginning — I refuse to let this go.
