US Post Office

The Harrison, NJ post office isn’t very big and its an old, unrenovated space with no postage machines. The steps here are a lawsuit waiting to happen because at the slightest bit of precipitation they become very slippery.
That said, I come here all the time because it’s in a convenient location. I’m always here either at lunchtime or the end of the day and the place could use a facelift and some training of staff in customer service. Here’s the biggest issue I have with this place… your experience here will be positive or negative based on who’s working. In all my visits here there are three people who work the counter… one is an older guy-he’s hit or miss with his mood, but is usually fine if you’re prepared. The second one, who is usually there, is a short woman who ALWAYS has a smile on her face and is very helpful (clearly my favorite); she’s fast, and friendly, and even when she’s having a bad day at least she tries to be pleasant. The third is a woman who sounds like she’s smoked three packs a day for 30 years and who has no patience with anyone… it’s like you are bothering her by being there and she has a superiority complex simply because she’s a postal employee. This third woman is slow, always cranky, and treats everyone like crap.
Like I said, I come here all the time, because it’s convenient, and it’s better than the Newark Midtown location… parking isn’t great (on-​street), but I’ve always found a spot. I just alway hope that Miss Crankypants isn’t working that day…
