Rob_1 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'd quite like a solid gold toilet to crap on aswell.......Until the management let posties out of the depot to deliver at breakfast time it isn't going to happen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spot on! How can 1 posties delivery to all 400-500 houses on his/her route by the end of the morning when they don't get out til after 10am! If people want someone to blame then Blame the Internet for increasing online buying and the increase in unnessary/bulk advertising by various companies for it taking longer to deliver. It's 2010 not 1990. Most of the mail now is 'business to business' or 'business to people' not people to people like the good old days. Get used to having your mail very very late. Deliveries across the country are changing to shared vans and duties will start later. Me and the guy I will be working with will have more than 1500 houses to deliver to and will start delivering around 9.30-10am. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out nobody will be getting their mail early! We don't want to be delivering later but apparently it's 'modernisation', along with an 'improved Saturday service' which means your mail will be around 3 hours later than it is now. Btw if any of my customers are reading this, thank you as I have had loads of tips this Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before anyone starts with the scrooge comments, I give over £50 a month to charity directly from my wages.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazjea Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Millions of people in this country are on a minimum wage. Most do not receive tips for the job they are doing. I do not understand why certain low paid occupations, should get tips as part of their remuneration, when others do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
