This is my local post office. It's where I go whenever the postie can't deliver something to me and I have to go and pick it up. I don't really have a choice in coming here or not because they leave my packages there and they'll get sent back if I don't go and get them.
First of all, I work full time and go to the gym on Saturday mornings. It's really difficult to get to the post office when they're only open M-F 8:30-5 and then Sat from 9-12. Sometimes you forget you have to pick something up and so you have to wait a whole week before you can go get it, all the while hoping that they're not going to send it back before you can get in on Saturday.
The post office seems to have been owned by the same family for years. The guy is quite friendly and helpful but I have often felt that the woman could be a little friendlier. Walking into the post office is depressing though - it is overdue for a facelift. I don't expect anything fancy but half the shelves are empty and there is no music or anything else that's particularly welcoming about the place. It makes me feel like I want to get in and out as quickly as possible - there's no way I would be hanging around looking at the stuff they're selling.
Like I said, I don't have a choice in going there... they're friendly enough and provide all the services a post office does - just wish something could be done about the atmosphere. read more
