- AWAnnie WylieJul 16, 20204.0Curtis was the best worker!! I wish he didn't retire. Tanya is just plain rude.
- JSJoanne StocktonJan 9, 20201.0Tonya is the rudest person I have ever had to deal with. Every time I go in there she makes you wait and wait only to tell you she can't help you. Her list of excuses: *We're not doing boxes today when I went in to pick up a package *We're not accepting packages right now, when I went in to mail a package *We're not cashing USPS checks today and "How did you get that check?" If she hates her job that much, maybe she needs to quit or be fired!!
- RSRachel SturmFeb 25, 20155.0If there is one post office in New Mexico where you almost never have to stand in line . . . it is at the Thoreau Post Office. I am pleased to be one of their postal patrons. AND the postmaster ALWAYS answers the telephone, totally unlike the Albuquerque post office. Curtis Gill is running what is essentially a one-man operation and I don't know how he manages. But he DOES, and does it well. Thank goodness for a well-run post office. McKinney
