We moved to Ridgefield recently and our experience with people here have been very welcoming.
However, I am taking this time to share my experience regarding my last interaction with a service member at this post office.
I came in to drop off a package which was already prepaid for shipping but I needed to obtain a receipt.
I came in and there was no line, no one behind the counter neither. As I am waiting for service I could see an older lady, short hair with glasses just walking around with a piece of paper in her hands. A gentleman comes in and starts getting his package ready so I knew this lady could hear there were customers waiting. I waited and then rang the bell because at that point it was obvious she was choosing to ignore customers. She said something but it was not audible.
When she decided to come to the counter I was greeted with a demeaning look as if I was an inconvenience to her. When I mentioned that it was a drop off she rolled her eyes and I proceeded to ask if I could get a receipt. Her answer was: if you ask for it.
Then she asked me what was inside the box, I responded. Then she proceeded to explain that since I was re-using a box I needed to black out all the lettering on the box with a marker. I went through the pencils they have on the counter looking for a marker but there was none then she handed me one. I blacked out the lettering as instructed and when I was done I returned the marker to her but she didn't take it back and pointed at the pile of pens on the counter.
I was given the receipt and thanked her.
As I walked away I heard her treating the gentleman who was behind me in a similar way.
Please be mindful if you need to go to this post office. I hope she was just having a bad day but if she is just an unpleasant person to be around with don't let her ruin your day as people like that love to spread their misery. read more
