Lady up front is not made for interacting with customers. Seems like she doesn't want the post office to make money.

I just had a package of soap delivered by them that had 5 of the 6 bars missing. It was open and barely taped back up with packing tape. Even if the driver didn’t steal it there’s no way they should have left it partially open. I am very curious as to how it got torn open perfectly along the top as well. I guess they really needed the soap

Disgusted, not with the carriers or people up front in lobby, but admins tell you something and in my opinion do not do.
