- DSDiane SAug 14, 20261.0Miserable middle aged man working on a Friday 10 am. If you hate your job so much, LEAVE. I get better service at Burger King. All those benefits and you’re still THAT miserable? You sad soul. Embarrassing for usps to have a worker like you. Soquel has the best postal workers. This locations workers SUCK
- MSMICHAEL STRONGJul 31, 20265.0Gino at the Capitola post office was very helpful! I wrote a short note to the recipient of the package on the side of the box, but it ended up covered by the label. Gino helped me tape up the box and rewrite the message so that it was not covered by the label. The wait time was also not bad at all.
