My managers hire taxi's to take people out to their deliveries, which is amusing really because the taxi fare they usually pay is alot more than it would be to get one of our drivers to do 2 hours O/T driving people out.

He obviously either didnt think he was going to be doing any manual labour or he knew he was going to have his photo taken. Coz ive never seen any of our managers in suits and it looks a lovely suit to get dirty and creased lugging bags of mail around. :cuppa :chuckle

Looks to me more like someone who has called by the delivery office to collect the mail for his company on the way to the office...
