I promise you the low rating of this post office comes from Michael. This guy, must be tired. So retire him already! He obviously doesn’t care to give any customer service (which is 90%) of his job. I needed one single piece of tape for a package the man MADE me buy a roll of postage tape for $3.99. I paid the $3.99 and put one single piece across my mailing label which was completely unnecessary to buy tape when he slaps on a label from the post office on top. This is likely the 5th time I’ve interacted with this customer service postal clerk. I leave feeling mad he has no care or concern about making postal customer’s days who already don’t want to be at the post office … worse. One piece of tape really? You can’t help with one piece of tape!? I can’t wait for the day for this grouchy old guy to retire, it’s time!

I have had at least two separate encounters with this particular male clerk over the past few years. Each time, he has been consistently rude and completely unhelpful. It's disappointing to experience this kind of service repeatedly.

Waiting for two days for a certified letter of great importance. Finally on the second day, I get an email saying no one was there to receive it and they left a pink slip. There was no pink slip and no one had even tried to deliver or pick-up mail from our house on that day. Very upsetting.
