I wasn’t able to catch the man at the counters name however, the customer service was above and beyond making sure I was taken care of. Thank you!

Dear Altus USPS,
The new girl who was working the counter on September 22nd around 4:15 today was having a very pleasant conversation with the person in front of me in line today. I walk up and whole demeanor changes. Then talks to me like I'm slow... Okay. My objective there was very simple and was no hassle... I would say I'm pleasant and not usually a bother most of the time so I'm not sure where her attitude was coming from.
Kind regards
GR

Heads up! If you are looking for the drop box because you don’t want to get out of your car, you will find the drive through drop box on the rear(Northside) of the building. Easy access, great place.
