US Post Office

Very slow and inefficient.

Had a PO box there for years and often found other people's mail in my PO box, which leads me to wonder what happens to my mail.

Need an APC there desperately...

I was in the Port Washington lobby today and I noticed that only 3clerks were at their stations with 1 open station- this made me feel upset. But something happened that gave me a feel good moment. A woman standing in front of me was writing a letter to the Post Master - she allowed me to go ahead of her- she was writing a letter to the postmaster giving praise to a clerk named J.J. who took the time to help her with choosing and packing her parcel even though he was on his break time. She said he was amazing - that was the word she used. Its odd that right here in our post office we finally have someone who enjoys their work . I'm not sure which one is JJ since I don't go to the Port Washington office often- but the next time I go in there, I'll check it out for myself. Dee Dee

Okay- here is the truth- from somone who knows the Port Washington Post Office very well. Recently- early retirement allowed 5 window clerks to leave. Carla,Ursula,Cathy,Mike,John. The PM has send 7 workers from the back operations to "window training" to help staff the window. Some of these workers have yet to receive a uniform allowance therefore "some" do not have uniform shirts. Now then as far as their professionalism-- Here Goes-
***- I want to see window clerks with Good Attitudes-- some at the window are abrupt but still know their jobs. Its one thing to send clerks for window training and its another thing to teach them to be friendly. "That" has to come from inside the person. Eddie is the smartest of the group. As is Hector. The others all seem to know their jobs but JJ is the most helpful of the group. He's friendly with all the customers,not just the girls. As a senior citizen I can appreciate that. Its nice to hear someone call out your name when you walk in the lobby- makes me feel welcomed. I just wish that the rest of the group were more like the 3 I've mentioned. thats the truth. Tom
