I'm not surprised to see this USPS, like many others, with less than 3 stars. I thought it only happened at the one in Gallup, NM, where the staff is rude and indifferent, but it seems to be a pattern.
I came to apply for my passport, and at first the young man with two braids seemed friendly. He told me to come back later and said he would help me.
When I returned, he said, "'Il be right with you," but then he completely ignored me as if I wasn't even there. He helped other people who arrived after me and kept acting like I didn't exist.
When I finally asked him again, he responded reluctantly and with a bad attitude, telling me someone else would assist me. Very unprofessional and disappointing service.

I've been using general delivery for a while. Aug '24, a clerk has become hostile. He said I can't be having packages sent here without a PO Box. I asked, you stopped general delivery? He told me to fill out a form. All of a sudden, the PO Box requirement disappeared.

I think they are both understaffed and need better training. I get that this is a small town, but as another reviewer said, it takes them 8-10 hours to deliver something not even 10 minutes away. I know we're not dealing with FedEx here, but I was at the receiving end of a major cockup regarding a fairly expensive piece of equipment that was imperative it be delivered on time. The employee at the counter said the delivery person should have left a notice on my door, and there was no notice, yet it said a delivery attempt was made at 10:43 am that day. Neither delivery clerk that I spoke to that was on my route that day knew anything about it. Next morning I went to the physical office and they still couldn't find it. I told them I'm not leaving until I have my parcel. Got a supervisor involved and finally they found it. Apparently there was a new employee that put it on the wrong shelf. Learning experience, I suppose.
