US Post Office

You have to go through metal detectors to get to this post office, because it’s in a federal office building. Usually the security guards are pretty nice, but one time, one of the older male guards told my coworker to walk on through «with her fine ass.» So there’s that.
I’ve always had the same clerk once I get inside the actual post office, and she is pretty, pretty, pretty unfriendly. I kind of hate coming here. But, my letters and packages get where they need to go.

Staff is friendly, but they never have cash for money orders, they send you to another location, fortunately there is another office not too far away. At least the staff is honest, I know I can never get a money order cashed here. For other postal needs this is a good location, never a line.

Please be advised that the open store hour has changed. Instead of 8:30AM it is now 9AM. Unfortunately, I came at the time put on this Unilocal page. This really was an inconvenience for me.
But if you don’t know, now you know.

Very hard to fine. I guess only «locals» go there because no one else knows where it is? Anyways if you find it there probably will not be a line. FYI it’s in a federal building you will need to go through a medal detector

My dirty little secret,
Who has to know?
With all respect to The All-​American Rejects, the Lafayette Square Station Post Office is my favorite in the city. This is one of those things I’m not sure I’m ready to share.
Given that most postal employees spend their entire career dealing with unreasonable requests, pissed off customers, and the occasional overly demonstrative grandparent, the employees at this station are as happy as they come. I suspect the metal detectors at the door keep things from getting too nuts. Metal detectors aren’t perfect, either… but they are entertaining. (True fact: I’ve had to remove up to 5 items of clothing to get through the metal detectors at this location.)
I’ve been here during the «morning rush» (aka 1 clerk for 3 customers), the lunch rush (aka 2 clerks for 2 customers), and the «afternoon rush» (aka 2 clerks for 3 customers). There has never been a line of more than 2 people, and the clerks are really fast with their transactions. It took less than 10 minutes to send all my packages and stamp all my letters. Winner!
Accessibility notes: Ramp to the building is nearly hidden. High counters. No braille signage. Metal detectors may interfere with medical devices. Doors push in.

Part of this review is for my stupid GPS: when I searched for post office, this was the only one that came up. Wtf. So I drove out to the CBD.
It’s in the federal building by Lafayette Square and it is CLOSED on Saturdays and Sundays. Mega-​fail. I only found out after wandering around the whole thing trying every door and an older man informed me. He also told me that it’s hidden within the building and you have to go through security to go inside.
Wackness.
If I didn’t need stamps too I would’ve had this shit mailed already!
