USPS

This location is the closest to me and is only a 3 minute drive, though I’ve walked when I felt like getting exercise. Even though it’s tiny, there is plenty of parking. That, and the self serve kiosk are the only good things about this location.
The employees aren’t the friendliest but they aren’t rude either, just brisk. That’s fine with me, I just want to get in and out. So it is super frustrating that there is a deaf employee working the counter now. I don’t mean to sound rude but customer service is not the right job for him. When I went to mail a media mail package to a military base, the transaction took about 20 minutes by the time we finished communicating via paper and pen. On another visit, I witnessed the same thing happen to another customer who simply buying a stamp.
I really do give the man props for not collecting a disability check and to USPS for hiring him but I don’t think I’m wrong in thinking that a job where he doesn’t have to regularly interact with customers would work out better. They could even transfer him to a large location where he could work an express counter instead of handling more complicated packages.
Besides that, the lobby area is always messy and out of flat rate envelopes and packages so I end up in line anyway. Recently, I felt great because I avoided the long line by using the self serve kiosk… and then the drop off box next to it was jammed shut. Had to get in line like a sucker. From now on, I’m just taking the 10 minute drive downtown where everything runs so much more smoothly!
