- IMInfiniti Agency - MagdalySep 9, 20251.0Please tell me why??? The management here doesn’t schedule to have more than just 1 clerk window open during rush afternoon hours. Everyone should have care and consideration from the clerks to the customers. With a line patiently waiting of more than 10 customers. Horrible management!!!

- PTPrince TuckerAug 2, 20255.0Thank to the USPS delivery courier, Hassan. I was able to retrieve my package.
- CVChe VeeJul 29, 20251.0Yesterday, I witnessed something at the post office that deeply disturbed me something I never thought I’d experience firsthand in this country. A couple was trying to get a U.S. passport for their newborn. They couldn’t speak English. Instead of receiving support, they were met with hostility. The passport clerk a woman of color herself was dismissive, rude, and outright refused to help them or ask a Spanish-speaking colleague (who was also a supervisor) to assist. Thankfully, an angel, a stranger stepped in to translate. But even then, the employee made it clear she was annoyed that someone was helping. She voiced it out loud. Where is the basic human decency? Where is the empathy? This country was built by immigrants. Its strength is in its diversity. English is not the “official” language of the United States because we are not defined by one language, but by our shared humanity. And to the USPS an agency that relies on public funding and is under constant political threat your frontline service should reflect the very people who keep you alive. That family deserved respect. That translator deserved gratitude. We all deserve better. Do better!!
- CECarol EyezJul 2, 20251.0Nowadays you hired people with no manners and zero skills . Yesterday I when to pick up my package, the young lady sitting at windows had a nasty attitude, act like we customers were there bother her . The slick comments are not necessarily. Please retrain your employees.
