You can come in with a great attitude and patience, but don't expect it to be reciprocated.

So my regular mail person is off today. And once again the gut with ling Beard trampled through my flower beds. There's no path thru this area and only saves him a few steps. So now my small plants are crushed. Thax

Much of the staff have been here for a long time and are very helpful. They all go the extra mile to help! I love all the counter help and the post master! Route people are equally awesome!

Bad experience, white haired lady gave us an attitude from the start with me and my sister for a passport appointment. Treated us badly to where she even cursed at my sister, where do you get the stones to talk to someone like that? Respectfully, the lady needs to retire already

I send out packages multiple times I ask for a receipt they say they can’t then my package gets lost and I have no proof but there supposed to give receipts for packages being sent out in the case this happens! Every time I go they refuse to give me a receipt takes one second of there time to print it.
