What a load of crap,some postmen are rubbish others aren’t like people at any job.
I always try to make sure my customers get their stuff leaving parcels with neighbours or even friends who live at different parts of my round. I’ve been a postman for 15 years and you don’t have the time to hang around waiting for people to go out. Walks have increased in size to the point where it’s a struggle to get through them in the alloted time and woe betide you if you dare to claim overtime. Due to changes in the way we are now paid I am now down about £150 a month.
if you buy something via mail order/online and have to go out leave a note or get it delivered to your workplace.
The ying:
I remember the morning when I was drinking coffee prior to going to work, I hear the letter box go, think “thats early for the post”. Go and check it and it’s a “you were not in, go and get your parcel from the local depot which has no customer carparking spaces” card
I suppose it’s one way of managing the backlog and p***ing your customers off
the yang
we used to have a great postie until they swapped the shifts around and now we have an “OK” service. Still say hello to our former postie when I see him.
