High Island Tx post office
I feel sorry for the ones that have to deal with the woman working here. I wanted to open a P.O. Box there but oh no I accidentally bothered whoever she is. Rude and must hate getting out of that chair. Then I asked what are hours here because I’ve tried all week to get service but no one’s ever there. I’ve never understood why if someone has a job that they absolutely hate WHY be there, there are plenty of people who would actually enjoy and be happy to work their job instead of being rude and stuck up.

Terrible service… thought they opened at 8:30 guess not. Fire the lady you have working for you. Second time she’s been late… first time she passed me on the way to the post office from Winnie because she was already late. Plus she ain’t got no problem picking up her phone and chatting while you’re trying to get help. With love P.O. Box 133

Better off having a po box in Chrystal Beach. These people receive a package and send it back on the same day.
