Conflicted by not knowing if our local binmen are crap/uncaring because they just are or because the contracts and schedules they work to now mean they have to be to do it in the allocated timeframe. If the former then sod them, if the latter they I feel sorry for them as it must be a tough gig and no one surely likes to do a rubbish job (unintentional pun).
Our postie however is beyond equal. Knows by name, wishes us luck when its our birthdays, brings us post going to our old address (also on his round), brings big signed for post to my work (also on his round) when there is no one in and carefully pushed the post through so it stayed caught in the flap when my wife had her back op and I had a hip op so we didn’t have to lean down. We gave him a present this year because he is the nicest man I know, period.
