:oops: So this is what xmas is all about? Some posties really need to get a life. Sending them all xmas cards ! The worst offenders are the rural posties who put the bins out and deliver there papers .

Very, very sad thing to do. Theres a couple of guys in our office who seem to regard customers as close, personal friends.

One guy in our office recently had a customer stop him in the street with some unimportant query over something or other... the postie found out the answer back at the office, went home and looked the customers name up in the phone book and phoned him up to give him the answer! Pathetic and embarassing.
