    I had a very pleasant experience here today while opening a po box for my business. If todays experience is typical I will be very happy with my decision to move here from VA Beach.

    Arrived well after 9 am, found it to be locked and closed. Yet, website and front door states open 9 am- 430 pm M-F. Today is Wednesday.

    Clerk was pleasant to other customer's but rude to be me because she felt that I was using more tape than I should be to seal a box. I've learned from experience that when a box is going downrange (Afganistan or Iraq) that it needs to be secure. I was trying to explain that to her and she was interrupting me with smart comments. Next time I will bring my own tape since the tape at the post office seems to be coming from the clerks personal stash.
