excerpts from the 15 best yelp reviews of my post office

1. “I once bought 500 pens on Ebay and hand-delivered them to them - so at least there is a fucking working pen in the whole place that customers can use.”
2. “The website clearly states that this location is open until 7pm on weeknights. However, when I arrived, with a large package, on a cold and windy night, without gloves, after walking along fairly unlit, empty streets beside a roaring highway, I arrived to find the employees smoking outside at 6:08 pm. All the lights were on. “We’ve been closed since 5:30,” they said. “That was our schedule last year.” I didn’t ask what they were doing hanging out, at work, in their work uniforms, for forty minutes after closing. I just asked where to find another place to mail a package.”
3.  “Finally, after an eternity of waiting I asked if this was the line for pickups. I was told no and was directed to the window with the “Closed” sign on it. So everyone scrambled out of the line they were waiting in to form a new line at the “Closed” window…There was no explanation for why there was a “Closed” sign at the window and no apology for wasting everyone’s time in the wrong line. Amazing.”
4. “There was also one time when I went in and saw that they’d taped someone’s forgotten out of state DL to the service window — without obscuring her SSN!! That’s COLD. ..I was scared to write this review until I moved to another zip code.”
5. “i can’t believe i’m updating a review on a post office but i’m so excited i just have to share.  i called this post office and SOMEONE PICKED UP!!!  and he helped me SEARCH FOR MY PACKAGE!!!  and he FOUND MY PACKAGE and said he would HOLD IT FOR ME…for this unusual experience i will upgrade them to two stars.”’
6. “Will someone PLEASE READ THIS AND HELP US!??”
7.  ”This not only is the worst post office I’ve ever been too it may be the worst establishment in THE ENTIRE WORLD post offices aside…This post office has the worst hours in the fucking universe…In the infinity that is space there is probably not another post office as bad as this.”
8. “I got this information after the original caller who put me on hold left me on hold and had gone home. I had to call from another cell phone to get this information.”
9. ” I actually signed up for Yelp just to complain about this place.”
10. “Oh, and on the package slips it states that these are the hours: M-F 9:30am - 7pm/ Sat 9:30am-4pm …. HAHAHAHAHA …”
11. “I could go on and on and on … avoid this place at all costs. Yeah, it seems like a nice neighborhood … but don’t be fooled. Living here is living in hell.”
12. “Words cannot express the incompetence that has been attained within this post office.  11211 is indeed a black hole of mail and packages for the usps.  God help us.”
13. “[My mail carrier] is apparently union and rents his route out on various days (WTF?). when i told him that someone had been leaving packages outside again, he responded, “man, i told them not to do that anymore”. THAT’S IT. i asked how to resolve the issue and [the postal worker] replied “they’re adults, i can tell them not to do something but really i can’t do much more than that.”
14. “WHO STOLE MY NEW SHOWER CURTAIN WITH THE COOL ANIMAL PRINT?!…I hate this post office with the heat of a thousand suns.”
15. “Here is something that confuses me.  Email exists now, right?  How the fuck are they having trouble delivering LESS mail? “
