I am a senior citizen today I went to this post office after confirming their times
I was there just before noon, the door was locked with hand note saying it’s closed for lunch will open at 1:30 pm ( I didn’t know post office have one and half hour lunch )
One last customer exiting so I got in it was still not noon I have just one simple envelope to drop
I begged her to accept because I walked a mile in cold weather she didn’t show any sympathy and threatened me to locked me inside if I don’t leave I can’t believe such behavior
Really disappointed 😢

It's 1 pm on Fridays. The lights are on and door is locked and no one is behind the counters. It's not a federal holiday either. Who's helping customers?
