Great post office with great people! Had a difficulty with a package that wasn't their fault and they were super helpful.

The new young woman who works there is rude. The first time it was to someone else while I was in line but thought maybe she’s having an off day. But today it was to me and I’m starting to think that’s just how she treats people.

Went in to get a passport taken care of and the service was wonderful, I didn't catch the name of the gentleman who helped me and my sister but he was excellent and provided us with great service and information!
