    Wow. I had a relatively good experience at this post office, which in some respects makes me not want to visit it again lest the next time I come here be a more typical, terrible experience. The line wasn't terribly long, though there always seems to be a person who has some more complicated postal issue they're resolving. Whilst I was standing in line behind one other person, two or three others got in line behind me in quick succession and another employee came over to open another window, so I was helped within 5 minutes or so of getting in line. The woman who helped me was courteous , efficient, and unlike almost every other employee I encounter at a post office didn't seem to hate her job or hate the people who come to the post office and make her have to do her job. Unfortunately I didn't get her name because I figured it would be on the receipt, but it wasn't. Anyway, thanks for defying almost seems to be a post office mandate to be as unpleasant as possible, Woman at the Window! Totally unrelated to the post office itself, there were a dozen or more house sparrows flitting around in the bushes and on the window ledges at the post office this morning. Cheerful send off on a lovely, unseasonably warm November morning.

    Failure to deliver mail is bad enough but to lie on tracking forms and say that a notice was left when they did not even deliver is terrible

    Wow! This location was so nice and accommodating. That's usually hard to say for post offices but they were awesome.

    This is one of the worst post office experiences I've ever had. I went in Saturday about an hour…read moreand a half for closing and I get there when a shift change and cash store check was happening so I get that I had to wait. But the workers had such an attitude. One of them who wander around told me to go to the next open window but when I got there then the worker gave me attitude while saying I didn't call you up. Then the wandering worker said well she can wait while you get set up. The way they didn't even seem to like each other and have to work together was not making it seem like a safe space. Luckily, this isn't my common post office that I would go to and I'm so thankful for that because the set up is so weird too like you can't even see the employee in the window to know. It's also incredibly dirty inside and there was a homeless person or something asking for money right when you walk in. Didn't feel safe, didn't feel any great customer service, extremely long wait. Never again.

    I've seen far worse post offices than this. Everyone complaining of employees giving an attitude…read moreperhaps need to understand these clerks aren't the complaints department for whatever you have going on. Ask to speak with a supervisor if you have delivery issues etc. It would be much better if some of the customers wouldn't stand in line trying to mail out a single first class envelope and waiting to buy a stamp just for that one envelope. Buy a book of stamps and you will save everyone else's time including your own. It would be much better if this post office had a caller window for people picking up packages open during a certain time of day like 10am or something then it would be easier to pick up packages like it was many years ago. But look at all other retail industries where everything is being automated or self serve so it doesn't surprise me that there is only one window or 2 at most open to help you. Sometimes putting yourself in the shoes of the clerk is all it takes and try seeing it from their perspective. It's not easy to have a postal job. Postal work isn't like a simple 9 to 5 job specially the ones going on route. The biggest problem is there is no parking lot for the customers and its either paying the over priced street metered parking or risking getting a ticket and when the lines are long, like waiting for 15 to 20 minutes in line for people to get their passports done specially if you know how to fill everything out then maybe do it yourselves instead of wa ting everyone doing it for you. Then that takes away time and sometimes its not worth paying overpriced meter parking or risking a ticket for waiting in long line to pick up package specially some rude customers with their kids screaming and jumping around like its a playground. The you all expect the clerks to be all smiling when you wouldn't be smiling either if you had to work in this kind of environment.
