- KBKatie BeckDec 26, 20231.0I walked in to the Lake Placid postal office to pick up a package today with my two year old son. I am here visiting, but this employee must have decided to treat me like a tourist (pretty sure you should treat everyone the same, but here I am writing this). My mom grew up here, my grandparents were locals their whole lives and we still have family in the area. I grew up coming to LP my whole life and it feels like my second hometown. I said to the middle-aged lady with the lip stud behind the counter, “Hello, I’m here to pick up a package.” The lady acted as if I had wronged her and her entire family. She looked me in the eye, slowly folded her hands on the counter, and said very slowly, verbatim: “Well now, let’s see. I don’t know you. And you don’t know me. So I will need your name and address.” with such attitude that I was shocked. Like her, I took my time in responding and said “Wow. I’m sorry, but why did you have to say that like that?” She said bluntly, “I don’t know who you are.” Of course I didn’t expect her to know who I was. I didn’t know her and I didn’t expect her to read my mind. I told her my name and address. She went and found the package. I said, “How kind of you.” She said “Have a nice day.” If it was humor, it didn’t read. It left me with a horrible taste in my mouth. I had come in a few days earlier also looking for a package and she was there and wasn’t that rude. She must have had an off day. But regardless, be nice. Don’t treat people that way, no matter how they look (local or not, white or brown, rich or poor). I hope the USPS addresses this employee for her unpleasant and unwarranted attitude.
- KCKirk CockrellOct 20, 20215.0Having lived in Lake Placid for 8 years, I pass by the Post Office a couple of times every day. For a small village, the Post Office does a suprisingly amount of volume. I usually utilize various services on a weekly basis. The staff is always friendly, professional and efficient. Shopping online is important in Lake Placid because the village doesnt have the population to support most stores and services. Ordering items weekly, my experience with the Post Office delivery couldnt be better. Thank you Lake Placid Post Office for being reliable and doing a superior job.
