I visited this post office a few weeks ago to renew my passport, and unfortunately had a very negative experience. The woman assisting me — I believe her name is Mindy — was extremely rude and spoke to me in a condescending manner. After reading other reviews, I’m surprised that someone who lacks basic customer service skills is still allowed to represent this establishment.
If the manager happens to read this, I strongly encourage you to provide additional customer service training or consider assigning a more courteous, professional, and well-spoken employee to handle passport services. Customers deserve to be treated with respect, especially when dealing with important matters like passports.

I wish we had a consistent mail person. we used to but now it's such a revolving door. our mailbox is attached to the house and often times our mail will not be delivered to us because the workers don't want to get out and walk. our neighbors have the same thing. they will skip both of us. and I have service to see what mail I will be getting so I know they aren't delivering my mail.

The worker who handled passport applications the day I went in should watch her tone with customers. There is a way to inform someone without coming off as confrontational.
