Oooh ooh are you our

Can You knock on the door?
Knocks on door customer answers it and has no idea why You are there because you spoke to someone else the previous day lol
Been off delivery for the entirety of peak with a new start covering my duty. He's had 2 tips...fiver and a tub of celebration, gave me both Celebrations were dished out amongst the other HCT duties and let him keep the fiver cos I've not had to go deliver in any of the crappy weather.
My days off fell nicely so I'm not back till the 30th. At that point he's screwed as despite living just outside the town he knows where literally nothing is. Took him 2 weeks and dropping pins on google maps to learn the route for my HCT duty so good luck to him as a reserve.

I’ve had the very same thing said to me many a time over the years but I’ve never once knocked on the door for the very reason you just stated.
this years going be a toughie less staff more work than ever only gonna get worse for us, workforce run into the ground as usual being hammered with parcels galore and lack of staff being recruited to cover walks
I think I got more tips as a reserve my first Christmas than I have this year.
Handed an item over to a customer on the 24th who has tipped me each previous year but did not do so this time. I sense it's because we've only conducted four letter deliveries since Halloween.
The question could be asked "As a postie do you tip your own postie?" do I **** he gets paid to do a job. plus I've helped him out, I have killed off almost most of my mail
Anybody received a Xmas tip from someone who was under the age of say 60 years old??
Ha, ha - no!
That age group equate us to every other courier company and treat us accordingly.
I don’t doubt that for a second but it’s still a very strange phenomenon that it’s only a certain age group that will tip their regular postie and bin men etc.
