Going to the Bristol Post Office is always a delight! It’s such a small town atmosphere and their staff is amazing! Rick and Tom are so kind and friendly. Tom gives out candy to the young and old alike. They truly take time to chat and care about you as an individual. Thank you for being so special!

This review is specific to Postmaster Tommy. Today I witnessed not only his kinds and patience for his community but his efficiency and dedication he brings to his job. I never imagined a passport appointment to be such a homey and humble experience. You can tell I’m not alone as many folx can through saying hello to Tommy. I might start mailing things just to experience this more often.
