I am reviewing the Capitol Station USPS location in Madison, WI. Read it and weep.
Yesterday I tried to cash a domestic (as opposed to international) USPS money order properly written out to me. I was going to endorse it in the presence of an employee at this location. I had valid ID. But clearly the clueless postal clerk had NEVER SEEN A POSTAL MONEY ORDER IN HIS LIFE and was examining it like it was an artifact from the moon. I showed him where I would be endorsing it on the back but this did not resonate. The clerk said his supervisor was out to lunch and could I return in fifteen minutes. I said no. Then when I bought a sheet of stamps the employee couldn't make change when I handed him a $20. bill. He made up the sixty cent difference out of pocket.
I ended up depositing the money order in my bank account. But I never thought I'd encounter a postal clerk who had never seen a postal money order.

Just had an amazing experience here. The gentleman working helped me put together the box and pack it up to ship. Even warned me that the size of the box would make the shipping more expensive... Then the woman working completed my transaction and made sure i i was aware of all the different delivery times and cost. We had great conversation she was pleasant and we joked. Amazing service.
Went for a 2nd time today. Both men working there were very helpful, saved me money on choosing the best shipping box... and te other Mark who was funny, telling jokes, had everyone laughing, and was very friendly. Overall i had another pleasant experience here.
