I went to USPS to mail a money order and USPS lost my package. They told me on Thursday to come back on Monday to see where my inquiry was and so I came back. I saw Chris at the desk and when I explained this to him, he refused to look it up and said there was a long line. The money order was close to 700 dollars so I told him I was specifically told to come back. It was then he started yelling at me. I told him to please not speak to me like that and why was he yelling and he said “yelling I’ll show you yelling” and started screaming even louder. This was super upsetting and lowkey traumatic.
