I was at the post office and received the best and most efficient service from this brown uncle. He was caring and processed my package immediately. He was then insulted by a woman and she made racist remarks to him when he had done nothing.

I had a great experience at the valley stream post office today. The staff is warm and welcoming especially the older man in the photo he did a great job helping me send out my package. unfortunately there was a lady who was being disruptive and racist to this poor man. He didn't do anything wrong but help this woman and other customers including me.

Went in for passport service. Lady that helped was not pleasant and did not know her information. She rudely told me my application cannot be submitted because i didnt have NY state ID. I had a different primary ID listed plus a secondary ID. When i tried to show her travel.gov site where all information was listed she pushed all my paperwork back to me and said go and first get NY State ID. 🙄 Went to different location with same id absolutely no issues. The lady needs to be properly trained on documents, military id and ids listed under primary id are just as valid as state ids
