    The clerk is extremely professional. Maybe think before acting rude. Read the signs that are made to help us all. I personally LOVE how they decorate the Office/ yard for the holidays. Always makes me smile seeing their little signs and decorations.

    Everytime time I go to pick up mail in which I have Informed Delivery so it tells what’s in the box and I open it and it’s only ever the junk mail. I have had 3 US Treasury letters held past the 10 day cashing date and I check every day. I only ever receive my ACTUAL mail every 2 weeks because of this ‘routine’. This post master has been here for years and has been inconsistent throughout those years

    Not sure what the negative reviews are all about. I go here almost every day to get my mail, and the clerk is kind and professional. She is direct and to the point when people ask questions; perhaps people mistake that for being rude? Maybe some people shouldn't walk in with a bad attitude or unrealistic expectations? Someone mentioned the post office gets broken into and the clerk lets her friends hang out in the back. What a load of nonsense. The only people I've ever seen in the back were couriers and supervisors. The clerk here is all about following the rules, and in all the times I've been here, I've never seen a single unauthorized person in the back. And who is breaking in? The front door is unlocked, so anyone can come in and get their mail, even over the weekend. If your mail is being stolen, it's certainly not the fault of this clerk. Someone also mentioned that they were given a hard time for their old label not being blacked out enough. Um, that's post office policy. It's on the sign by the door. You can't miss it, people. Open your eyes when you walk in. And see attached photos of the sign by the door (and other signs people should read). Don't blame the clerk for USPS company-wide policy. Please, people. Be competent.

    Editing this to add that when we reported some things stolen out of our mailbox, they said it was our fault because we don't check our mailbox often enough. Negative 5 stars. Gave us a hard time because this "wasn't blacked out enough."
