I visited here on Saturday and there was no line. The service was quick and ok. I personally didn't find it rude like some reviews mentioned (service could be more friendly but it wasn't rude). I also dropped a postcard to Europe, and it made it there safely in an incredibly fast two weeks!

There is a very impatient, rude, and unhelpful lady there, about 45 to 50 years old.
