I stepped away from work to pick up a package and arrived around 2:10 PM, finding about eight people already waiting. An older woman with a somewhat dark complexion was handling the service; she would help two or three customers, then suddenly disappear for 15 to 20 minutes before returning to work at a leisurely pace. When my turn finally came, I signed the pad, but she made me redo it three or four times, claiming the signature wasn't clear. Frustrated—especially since I had provided my ID and the delivery receipt and had already waited 20 to 30 minutes—I demanded to know what was going on. Suddenly, she refused to hand over the package and said she would deliver it instead. When I asked to speak to a manager, she simply closed her station and walked away without a word. I did manage to retrieve the package from the next counter over, but the situation was so absurd that I felt compelled to write this. If you work in the service industry but don't want to do the job, you should just stay home and rest; a workplace isn't the place to treat your duties like a casual pastime. It was truly baffling.

There is only one staff member at the counter; the wait to drop things off is terribly long.

Same like all other reviews, The staff here are extremely unprofessional and irresponsible. There were many people waiting in line, yet the employee kept chatting with customers instead of efficiently doing his job. If they can have a bin allow people to drop off their package with labels ready would be helpful

Donna genuinely needs to go into retirement. Her attitude is terrible, screams at customers and screams on the phone in chinese in the back to the point where people outside the office could prob hear her. Every time Im in this post office and I see her I know it’s going to be a minimum half hour wait. GENUINELY moves at the pace of Speed from Zootopia. The label could be 2 inches away from her pupil and she will turn the package 83 ways to look for it. Today she was giving this poor guy & his dad a hard time while they were fussing over a box labeled cremated remains LIKE PLEASE. They need to hire more & new people at this post office, out of the 5 windows I’ve never seen more than 2 working. Employees keep chatting with each other instead of working on the 74 ppl in line. The other lady there is nice but also moves at the speed of 2 millimeters per hour. Do better. Please & thank you.
