As U.S. post offices go, the service here is AOK. Though I've seldom seen more than one clerk…read moreserving customers at a time, I have found the clerk's here friendly, efficient and very willing to help, unlike some other P.O.'s I've spent time at; especially in Los Angeles where the service is just plain awful. The downside to this location is it is in a very "sketchy" part of Vliet St. and the parking is difficult; only a few spaces open for parking in front of the building.

Best post office service EVER, but one major issue:…read more Unlike most post offices, they don't put out packaging envelopes for use, you have to go to the counter and buy them, which means I have to get in line twice, which is time consuming. I send out things for EBay, so this is a big deal to me.

I can't think of a more perfect stage for the swearing in of new American citizens. My proudest…read moremoment as an American was sponsoring my parents naturalization, but a close second was witnessing a close friend being sworn in as a new American here. The judges and other federal employees who stage these events are somehow so carefully selected to be perfect for the parts, I can't help wondering if Homeland Security has a central casting department. After the moving ceremony we hung around as new citizens from scores of different parts of the world posed for pictures with their papers under the flag in the lobby. The building is historic and majestic, it is truly worth a visit. The security process at the front is how airports should be run, at the same time you can see that no dangerous weapons or materials are getting in, they are also polite and patient, every fifth person or so is frustratingly clueless ("I can't bring in my gun? Why not?"). Although it was freezing cold, I had to walk around the outside a couple of times, it's a very impressive old building, but the inside is gorgeous, Romaneque Revival. The building also houses bankruptcy court, so I could see how you wouldn't share my admiration for the architecture if you were here under different circumstances.

The building is beautiful. The security can be kind of intense. I went with an elder gentleman who…read morehas Parkinson's. Security did a full search on him (he worked in that building for over 20 years), even though he could not stand without his cane. They made him lean on a table. It was just a bit much.

Last night I was up late doing school work and like I've done in the past I used one of my resident…read moreone time overnight parking passes because I'll be honest I didn't want to leave my apartment and go move my car haha. I didn't think anything of it until the next morning when I realized I got a ticket! So I was obviously pretty upset because I thought I had bought a pass last night and thought nothing of it. Well come to find out I actually made the mistake of buying a pass for the same day instead of the following day. That was my error and I wanted to let the police department know that I did make an error but wanted to know if I could be let off on a warning instead? I spoke with Jackie who was very pleasant to speak with over the phone and after I told her my situation and providing my license plate number she understood my situation and voided out the ticket! I most certainly appreciate the understanding and truly appreciated the service our police department does for us!

Perhaps some of the most ruthless, least friendly human beings you'll ever encounter. Have…read morewrongfully ticketed me on multiple occasions with yesterday being the latest. Was gone for 2 hours, pulled back into a spot around the area (where I live) and next thing I know, a ticket (thanks guys for the undeserved ticket ;)... Again). They are "always right" and nothing can be disputed unless in court. Comical how big of a joke their parking rules are, especially for residents. I don't have the time to show up in court - have other plans and a busy life. Take my $25 and choke on it. I really hate you guys (mostly for the parking). Police elsewhere, take note on how NOT to operate from the gems working here.

Good place to work, but as an RN remember that in 12 hrs you won't be able to pee, eat or drink…read more You will run your butt off all day every day. The CO's, although mostly very nice, aren't usually in a hurry to help you during med pass especially in Pod 1, because they are busy with their feet up on the desk chatting it up with each other while you don't have time to complete the million other tasks you have to do. All in all a good place to work to obtain good party stories.

The WCJ staff have the worst attitude I've ever seen. Not accommodating at all. They will let you…read morerun out of basic supplies, bed situation is laughable. For starters, no pillows -_- The toilet is next to your head when you go to sleep on your cold metal mattress. The walls, though made of concrete are paper thin. You hear all the other guests every movement! and pray they don't snore. If you do manage to fall asleep don't worry, the rude staff will come by every half hour through the night and wake you up asking "are your okay?" which they don't actually care, what they're actually asking is "are you alive?" Soon as you move to say "well no thanks for asking, can I have a pillow?" they are long gone. Honestly if I had to characterize the staff's attitude I would say they treat you as if you're in some kind of jail. The food comes 3 times a day and is actually impressive, you would have to try hard to engineer food this bad. At 27 cents a trey I guess maybe I'm expecting too much? My recommendation is to get moved into Pod 3 which is the workers pod. Take a job in the kitchen and spend your 10 hour days very carefully stealing real food. It's under lock and key but they unlock it at certain times. Unlimited Milk and cookie dough, steak fajitas, real fruit like apples and oranges! And in Pod 3 you can shower everyday instead of 3 times a week plus you can work time off your stay. If you get caught taking food though you will get thrown into Pod 2 with the Murderers and other creepy people so don't get caught, cameras everywhere All said there is no hope for this place, just stay away from the fake gangsters (and the real ones). Anyone tells you they are there for an OWI is probably a cho-mo. Find normal people to hangout with and it's not that bad. Workout, read, stay sharp. Whatever you do, don't fight, even defending yourself lands you 6months, no exceptions. The CO's wont break it up either until a lieutenant shows up with a taser so you have about 20 to 35 seconds to not get your head smashed on the corner of a metal table...And don't be disillusioned that because you're in Waukesha people wont shatter your face with a cribbage board. If you do decide to book a vacation here....good luck.

This is an excellent post office, and much better than UPS or FedEx as USPS is more careful with…read morepackages and documents. Since this one sits right on top of the airport, I like to drop off stuff here imagining it gets going faster but I don't actually know that this is the case. They are fast, polite and efficient here, plus you often get free entertainment in the short line wait as colorful crackpots are also frequent visitors.

5 stars for a Post Office?…read more I challenge you to find a better one. This place is open 24 / 7. You can ship every thing here from a bundt cake for your Aunt Emma in Poughkippsee to a set of sweet-ass 22s you sold on EBay to some sucker in Modesto. Need a PO Box so your mom doesn't find out about your magazine subscriptions? They can help you out. Need a passport for that once-in-a-lifetime Carnival Cruise you and the Mrs. have been saving up for for the pas 8 years? Bingo. Postal workers get a bad rap. The employees here have been nothing but kind, professional, and patient. If any one is going postal in here it's going to be me. Especially if you are that guy in front of me who is always shipping 15 different packages and needs to know the price for each one and how long it will take to get there. You get my drift. You can do all that shit online at home. USPS: A poor-man's FedEx. No one really needs that shit from Amazon by 10:30 the next day. Use the postal service. Save some bucks.
