The gentleman by the name of Jerry provides awful customer service, he waste more time talking to the customers about things that doesn’t pertain to his job, for example talking about his wife while the line is running back to the door. Then I asked him was there someone else who can assist him and he was rude in his response. I have observed the behavior of this guy every time I come to this location and it is never good. He does absolutely nothing but waste time talking. My suggestion would be to provide Jerry more training on customer service and not make every encounter about him. He is getting paid to work in a time efficient manner not to waste the time of customers or work the postal clock with laziness. Jerry do better!!!

I must say when I went to this location I received superb customer service from CiCi and COCO. They both assisted me at different times for what I was in need of. Both ladies were pleasant to do business with. 😊
