Must say, my customers have been brilliant, one guy thrust ten quid in my hand and said to place it in the strike fund. The lads at our picket will be getting better sandwiches this time.

Heres one for ya. I do collections. 40+ customer collections , 28 postboxes an 5 Post Offices per day, in 2 collections, overwhelming support. Its easy keeping these peeps happy, all apart from one. "We had to pay £18 to get a courier to deliver a letter to a village 9 miles away", "whens it all gonna be sorted posty?"
My reply, " you didnt write, to be delivered by courier on the white envelope did you, because i found that in a post box a mile down the road, at least they werent cheap, they posted it first class recorded delivery" after ten stubborn minutes in the back of the van sifting through 3 red bags i found their letter and returned it for viewing.
Helen, of College Admissions turned blue, there was her letter. Offcourse she wanted it back for attention of complaint........."Cant give it back love, its in service of the queens mail"
30 minutes later you realise, i aint doin this for a pay rise love, just my pension, but as MY customer, give me a ring on a strike day, i'll take it for free.....Thats my line for tomorrow.
Couriers, who needs them.

Re: s**t day - abuse from "members of public"
Well done fella it takes a real man to keep control of himself in situations like that if you would have sparked the f****r he would have been straight on the blower to your gaffer who would have took great joy of getting rid of a few more hours out of the office its a shame his van wasnt sign written phone number or email then you could have gone to town on the bastard you said your up at 4am if you got his number you could give him a goodmorning wake up call then he would be comlplaining every morning for the next few months A nice little saying i learnt Dont Get Angry Get Evenmh80 wrote:Out on delivery today, on last bundle of walk, and hear someone yell "Oi Postie". Turn around and it's some gobshite in his van, getting out to do some building work at a house I'm about to deliver to. "So what are you lot striking about? pay?"
then comes out with:
" I didn't get no post yesterday cos of you f***ing lazy c***s - they wanna sack you lot get the pakis in they'll do it for f**k all!!! ".
I wanted to walk over and knock the p***k out but I've been up since 4 am, and in no fit state of mind to get into a slanging match with this fuckwit. As I get back down the street, starts again, "How much you on an hour? 6, 7, 8 quid? You don't f***ing deserve 8!" " Get a real man's job!".
f***ing classic situation were I always think of the best comebacks about 30mins later. The red mist nearly took over but I just pussied out. So I'm ashamed of myself for not having the balls to stand up to this tool, and pissed off that morons think like that.
Keep Up The Fight
