This has got to be the most unserviceable post office in the city. They disappear, they close randomly, it will take over an hour to get through the line because they disappear from the kiosks like this is what happens when you hire lazy nonchalant staff

After 4 visits still cannot get my passport done because of how the usps operates. Today, probably many employees didn’t come in to work because of the snow even though kids were okay to go to school, they decided to have the 1 employees there make up a story about internet issues for not being able to do anything. Sure…

Don't ever go there, nobody works there except for one lady, and then the rest of them supposedly have lunch and never come back.
