I ran into the same older lady with blonde hair people often complain about here.
She had an unnecessary attitude because I showed up without taping the label.
I thought USPS handled that, like UPS and FedEx do.
After being rude, she did politely ask if I was okay.
I was the only customer there, so it’s not like she was busy.
Lastly, on the payment terminal, she gave herself a green smiley, claiming she did a good job, without giving me the chance to exercise my rights.
I also filed an official complaint, but it was closed without any meaningful action.

So, I just moved to North Providence and had to google the nearest post office. When I saw the bad reviews, I was driving there wondering what my experience would be like. Well, when I arrived there, I stood in a line of only 2 people, and noticed the clerk was very friendly and outgoing. When it was finally my turn, she was very helpful and answered all my questions. I introduced myself, and she stated her name is: Katt Lead Clerk. She did a great job and great customer service skills. Stop putting negative comments on places it ruins people's expectations. Let's be kind!

The people who work here are SO friendly. They have a huge selection of special stamps. Sometimes there is a line, but isn’t that the way at all locations these days?
Also, I’ve noticed others in the area rating their delivery and I’ve just got to mention that I’ve never had a better mail carrier in my life and I ship and receive ALOT of stuff and lived a bunch of places.
