Great Kills Office closes every day, in the middle of the day for an hour and a half for "Lunch". What type of service does that? Locks their doors during the busiest month of the year, when other businesses are expanding their hours.

Understaffed, only one person who’s working. Closing 2 hours for a lunch break everyday is insanity. I wonder if USPS is aware of this?
