dagger Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 i live in S6 also, now i know we haven't had post since mon/tues, but if they let the posties out onto untreated paths, and they slip and hurt themselves, then you probably wouldn't get any post for even longer - H&S is now the no.1 priority in RM and so it should be...

scargill Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 All on the road. No icy pavements,steps covered in a foot of snow , paths or overgrown hedges to contend with. I think it's great you got bread out to panic buyers but royal mail is a big concern and have to abide by H&S laws. Ehh! The bread does not go from van to shop on its own, in this weather I have to park where I can because most store back doors are inaccessible, drag stacks of breadv across roads, sometimes slippy, sometimes through traffic, sometimes through slush, then accross slippy pavements, sometimes up ramps or steps and into the stores, only to be pounced on by customers. The bread supplier I work for is not a local baker , but a national bread supplier emplying around 3,500 employees, with the same corporate responsibilities as any other large employer. It all depends wether you have a can/will do attitude to serving your customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
