Friendly service but with only one counter, the queue quickly builds up, so there's always a long wait.

There are three sets of service desks: Self-service, business, travel and everything else. I forget how they labelled this one but it seemed to be for just regular non-business customers. There was a long queue when I arrived but they cleared it pretty quickly, I don't think I waited as much as five minutes to post my parcel. The staff member helping me was friendly and helpful enough although not very on the ball. He did try to sell me a credit card which I've not seen before but maybe this is a new thing to try to get the Post Office to make more money. They also have some stationary and bits and pieces on sale, things like jiffy bags and bubble wrap and they're advertising a deak at the moment where you can get cheap travel insurance when you get your travel money with them. It's handy enough if you're in the city centre but it's a little but chaotic and I suspect at peak times those queues get really long.

I guess that should really spell out your expectations.

It's a large Post Office which consists mainly of a large queueing area, which pretty much sums up what you'll do while you're in there. They do all the stuff you expect in a Post Office, and they do it well enough although I think that 'service with a smile' might be pushing it a little (some of them are lovely in fairness, otherslacking). They also have lots of cards, stationery and knick-knacks for sale separately.

I found this wee post office quite by chance, but I'm glad I did. It's a little bit out of the way,…read morebut handy if you're walking between George Square and Argyle Street (as I was). This is a typical combination post-office-cum-corner store deal, they sell cards, stationery, newspapers and small gifty things to distract you as you're waiting in the inevitable queue for the post office counters at the back. The staff seemed very cheery, even under the pressure of Christmas postings, and there was a good bit of banter going on between them, so it was difficult for anyone to get cross over the length of the queue. With all 5 counters on the go, things moved along pretty quickly anyway. Top tip - remember to go to the right when you enter as that's where the post office queue starts. It's difficult to see it behind the rack of cards and it is tempting to go down the left-hand side. But you'll be sorry if you do!

It isn't characterised by great customer service. It's somewhere between the wee sort of Post Office you get stuck onto a tobacconist up the back and an actual wee shop. I use it often enough through paranoia that my letters dont get where they're going with the new size/weight specification for letters, otherwise I doubt I would ever bother going.

Now though, the post office is franchised to the Spar that it co-locates with. Result being, it's the Spar staff who now man the post office counter. Which is great. They know what they're doing and they're just plain nice whilst they're doing it! Not much else to say really, it sells stamps, takes in packages and does most of the range of post office services. No bureau de change though.

Instead, the area to the left of the ramp now has lots of interesting stationery and other knick-knacks - notebooks, wrapping papers, local interest books, games and general 'stuff'. It's a good place to browse for that little stocking-filler present for somebody. The other side still carries a good selection of cards. Things have gotten busier now, and there's often a longer queue for the post office than there used to be. They do have a self-service machine, but I've always found it unreliable and seldom trust it to complete a transaction without something going wrong. It's worth keeping an eye on the shop counter while you're queuing for the post office, as they will often call you over if they're not too busy.

The shop/post office/cafe was quite busy which is great a new business. The gift shop section is packed full of gems like Nikki McWilliams cushions (you know the ones, they're shaped like biscuits), posh salted caramel marshmallows, sewing kits, notepads - so many beautiful Glasgow gifts. The shop is also full of interesting non-generic greetings cards. I spotted about 5 which I am planning to buy for people's birthdays. The gift shop adds an extra place in the West end to shop local. The cafe section is small but an welcome addition. We opted for a chemex for 2 as well as a slice of jaffa cake cheesecake to share. They get their cheesecake from The Artisan Cheesecake company based in Bathgate, which a firm favourite with a work colleague. The cheesecake was well worth it and was beautiful. However I would recommend sharing as it is really sweet. The coffee was delicious and I was so happy with our chemex as it meant I had more coffee to look forward to. I think I will definitely be heading here again for their coffee/cheesecake/shop/post office.

The post office is located in the back of the news agent/convenience store. Service was quick and speedy, just the how I like it. The staff are quite friendly and helpful. Overall, they are pretty knowledgeable about postal and royal mail services. It was hilarious to overhear the customer before me wanting to send a parcel by courier. To which the woman replied, "we don't do courier service here... where are you sending it to?" The man replied, "I don't know." The woman was patient as she explained that she couldn't help him if he didn't know where it was going... what a numpty.

As for the post office itself? Well, it gets three stars because of its friendly staff. In actual fact it's rather irritatingly shoehorned into a small RS McColl's meaning it's a complete nightmare to queue in. For that reason, you should really do your best to visit at less popular times. And preferably in the school holidays.

For a small shop it has a good range of things, from groceries and confectionery to greetings cards and postcards of Glasgow, to magazines and newspapers. You can play the national lottery here or have some photocopying done; there's a Bureau de Change within the post office area and a passport photo service offered too. There's a large car park just down the side to the left of the shop which is very handy because it's almost impossible to park on the main road.

There are several windows so multiple customers can be served at once and I've never been in with fewer than two of these running. The shop sells standard convenience store items as well as anything you might need in a post office, including stationary, bubble wrap, boxes and packaging. It's spacious and well laid out so that even when there are a lot of customers in the branch, it isn't difficult to get around and it doesn't feel over crowded. The staff are helpful and polite and are happy to make suggestions or give advice if you need it. I especially like that there's a large poster on the wall with a little Charing Cross history on it. That seems like a nice touch and I was tempted to stop and read it but, thanks to how efficient the staff are, I didn't have a long enough wait. Only two things prevent this branch from getting five stars. The first is that it doesn't have an ATM, which I've seen in other branches and I feel like the have space for. The second is that the opening hours are a bit limited - they're only open 07:30-17:30 Monday-Friday. Staying open just an hour later, or opening for a few hours on Saturdays would making using this branch far more convenient.

I've never purchased anything from the Subway area of the store but it can get quite busy. They're open daily from 7AM - 10PM and were even open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
