Giving directions to City Link,U.P.S. etc.

[eian687]

i give them direction to the sorting office and they can use the callers office to get directions

[eian687]

only give directions to general public

In my induction I was told NOT to help these people out!

I do though, it's my nature.

Maybe you think its petty and i can appreciate that.The point is its just so easy to ask the postman,why dont they get proper training.So when your made redundant due to falling mail volumes,you can get a job training City Link drivers how to read a map.

They don't get proper training, because that costs money. How do you think they undercut us?
They cut corners, wherever they can. But that doesn't help the poor Drivers, who're sent out with no idea where they're going. Why give them a hard time, when it's their Employer, who's at fault?
We don't like it when the Public blame us, for the deterioration in our service. So why should WE blame the so-called Competition's Drivers, when they're lost?

I dont think these companies stand a chance judging by some of the employees ive seen.

Yesterday had a UKmail spotty faced chav teenager walking to the house, on his phone to his mate; obviously discussing weekend plans. I went out to sign for, he carried on speaking on the phone.

Just gestured towards his PDA for a signature, all the time whilst on the phone. Then just walked off without actually having said anything.

All i can say is good luck to them, they are gonna need it

Plus, I see more and more of the competition delivering out of their cars (maybe something picked up from RM) and driving around lost whilst looking for some address that's up some small lane around the back of someones house.

how sad lol! these guys doin a job same as us, grow up. when ive been lost when doin a new collection these people help me out we're all doin a job tryin to earn, nice people does it matter who u work for?? and just because they work for sum1 else u wont help em out?? pathetic.
i know how frustrating it is when u cant find sumwhere and to help sum1 out i think is my duty makes life that bit easier.
still i bet u feel like the man when u refuse to help the competition out hahaha what a legend u are!!!

wow sarcasm! bet you feel like the man now!

I never give them directions. They want to "compete" with us, fair enough, but they'll "compete" with no help from me.

Christ what a bunch of jobsworths! Delivery drivers are just doing a job, the same as us. Do you think any of them give a sh*t about 'competing' with RM? They just want to get finished and go home.

[rowdogg]

yep exactly....y not help sum1 else out....still i see posties like this everyday at my office.....
i do love the fulltimers, the way they prance around refusing to speak to the partimers lol u only apostie matesame as us

[krussel]

I always help them as its in my nature and the poor sods are just trying to do a job like me. If i refuse, well there going to find it anyway and make the delivery so what do you gain.
The only bunch i dont really help are a crew which come on to my area to deliver leaflets. They arrive in packs of normally eight via a white van with a bag of d2d's on thier back and a list of road names. Most cant speak english and its "Hey you where this". they then stomp right across lawns and through flower beds which i get blamed for

Well, I've never thought about it in quite those terms.
Don't think I ever will, either.

How many times someone stop you and ask for directions only for you to tell them you dont know cos your from another office and dont know this area ?

they then look at you as if you just called there mum a rude name .

WE DONT KNOW EVERYWHERE FFS ! ! !
