Anyone have issues with harassment and intimidation with rudeness by a certain member of this USPS. Impersonation of another person should be illegal and whomever it is needs prison time. He claimed to be Larry. Last, Im submitting issues in a letter & online to the FTC and BBB about this USPS, discrimination and abuse shouldnt be happening.

By far the most poorly run post office I’ve ever been to (only post office to ever lose a package of mine). Rarely opens on time, constantly understaffed, technical problems galore. Amazing that the highly paid workers there haven’t been replaced with people that actually want to do the job.

DO NOT COME HERE. This office is a joke, your mail will not get sent, they’re constantly closed, no one here is helpful or attentive in even the slightest, endless hand written notes on the doors, do not come here this is not a post office, 6 federal employees standing around a locked office not one of them offering any help with the most basic of requests, your tax dollars at waste.

Absolutely awful. Called at 10 when they open, a helpful custodian answered and said the clerks don't arrive til 1130/12! Called back at noon several times and no one answers. Hours are inconsistent, like the employees just leave whenever is convenient for them.
