Post Office

Running an errand for my boss, I visited this post office in Putney to post a letter recorded delivery. Big mistake. This is possibly the worst customer service I have ever had in a public establishment.
The shop is very dingy and dim even on a bright summer day. There is a mismatch arrangement of trinkets and postcards, and two counters: one for travel money and one for general services. Finally working out which one was which, I was greeted with a grimace from the assistant who barely spoke a word of English, and then went on to be treated as if it was annoying that I wanted to use the service. The man on the other till was blatantly and openly browsing on his mobile phone, and I got the «refuse to touch» dropping change service for free too!
Visit this place at your peril!

Since living in Putney for 2 and a half years Ive been to the Post Office a handful of times only.
When you first walk in there is a shop that sells Envelopes, cards, postcards; the usual.
If you want peas, sugar, sweets, biscuits while you wait in line for a looooooong time its all for sale. You will probably need a sugar hit to keep you going till the line gets closer.
Its filthy and always has looked like they are closing down because this shop is ugly. The lights in the post office area are off so we cant see the counter properly the staff are not interested in the customers. The floor is full of whatever is thrown on the floor. An elderly lady, after waiting in the line for a ridiculous amount of time was bringing a package back for whatever reason. Is fobbed off and sent on her way because the man behind the counter couldnt be bothered with her and didnt speak clear English or try to understand this lady who obviously deserved to be given his time.
When you eventually reach the counter its a robot behind there. You’d be lucky if they made eye contact and you leave feeling like you need a shower.
Id like to take off my 1 star
