    If I could give this location zero stars, I would. I have lived in this neighborhood for nearly 15 years and have never had even a neutral experience here, always due to the same employee that is mentioned in other reviews. Today was the final straw. This location lists walk-in passport application hours as 12:00–1:00 pm—this is stated both online and on all posted signage inside the post office. Shortly after 1:00 pm, I was still waiting in line with four other people, all there specifically for passport walk-ins, as clearly indicated by the signage at the start of the line. While assisting another customer, the clerk interrupted and asked whether anyone was waiting for a passport appointment. When I clarified that I was there for a walk-in (as were the others, with one exception), she snapped that walk-in hours are 12:00–12:45 and I shouldn't be there. When I pointed out that all posted information says 12:00–1:00, she responded curtly that she personally treats walk-ins as 15-minute appointments, so her chosen hours are 12-12:45. The rudeness of this exchange cannot be overstated, and it occurred in front of the entire lobby, including the other affected customers. If this location is limiting walk-in passport hours to 12:00–12:45, then its website and in-office signage must be corrected. If walk-ins are being treated as appointments, then walk-ins should be removed altogether and appointment hours expanded accordingly. Arbitrary, unpublished rules enforced at the counter are unacceptable, especially for a government agency. I am both a veteran and a retired federal employee. I understand public service. What I cannot understand—or excuse—is a public-facing government employee speaking to customers with hostility and disregard. If this location cannot provide accurate information or treat community members with basic professionalism, it should not be offering this service at all. If this particular person cannot handle interfacing with the public, they should not be in the line of work they currently are.

    The carrier with the Cascade Vista route has misdelivered our packages four times in 2.5 months, the most recent two on the same day. Just puts them in someone else’s box and marks them as delivered. Our neighbors are enjoying our purchases while this guy keeps his job.

    This post office sucks. There are 2 decent employees that work there and the rest of them ill let people skip me in line to avoid. They give the absolute minimum service they can in most scenarios and are very proud of it.

    Not actually open until 5 or 5:30 if you're there to pick something up.
