Xmas tips

Post by just_nuke_it »

Have you been getting a steady amount of tips over the years or has it declined year by year? I can't see any 16 year old scotch being dolled out this Christmas to be honest :neutral:

Strangely I had my best year last year, :dance It seems to have gone up and up. Theyve already started to give the tips now, getting my first one 2 weeks ago. Some like to get them in early in case they dont see me or other posties end up doing part of the round.

God forbid the scavenging posties who work a completely different round day in and day out each year from ever getting a penny! (in jest)
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Maybe they just know something about redspartapost that he doesn't.
But to answer the question, I took over £600 last year and I'll be pissed off if I don't do better this year.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
