I never leave bad reviews, but this situation deserves one. When I walked into this USPS location, the workers were just sitting around talking and ignoring customers. Not one person offered help.
When I finally asked about picking up my package, the employee talked to me with a rude attitude, like I was a child. Very disrespectful and unprofessional.
I ended up leaving without my package, and I prefer a refund rather than going back there. I do not recommend this location to anyone.

They don’t even deserve one star they are slow and it’s always one person at the window when it should be at least 3 to keep the line moving , not only that the workers are very rude and disrespectful and the manager never does anything about it or even make themselves known this is ridiculous and something needs to be done
