I am extremely dissatisfied with my recent experience at this post office. At approximately 1:52 pm, I was standing at the door with my 3-year-old daughter when a woman named Monica entered and abruptly closed the door, nearly catching my daughter's hand. Monica failed to acknowledge or apologize for her actions, leaving my daughter terrified and in tears. Despite my complaints, Monica refused to open the door until 2 pm and showed no remorse, claiming she had done nothing wrong. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could investigate this matter and contact me.

I usually don’t have an issue with this location, but when I called to report missing mail, the guy who answered (I think his name was James) was really rude and wouldn’t let me explain the situation because he kept talking over me. Very unprofessional!

This location is very close to my home, so I love the convenience. The staff are very nice and so very helpful when I stop in. You don't have to wait on a long line either.
