Sign AND print your name!

Post by da'bunny »

When getting people to sign for their recordeds and specials what is it they dont get ,when i ask "can you sign AND print your name please" then point to where i need it? Everyday i get more than one person only doing one or the other or signing in the wrong place. I even had someone sign the clear plastic once :arrrghhh
Just say NO ....to the new agreement.

Not a problem with a PDA...
Getting them to sign inside the box is though..and stopping them turning the thing round....and stopping them pressing all of the buttons...and getting them to lean hard enough to get a clear sig :roll:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yup had someone sign on the plastic too!!! But you have to bear in mind that many of these people have just woken up and haven't had time to focus thier minds, so need to give them a little bit of slack! :angel

It's when you say can you Print & Sign on number 3 Please? And they say, "But I don't live a Number 3" :dance

the one thet gets me is when you ask them their name they point to the name on the door,then then i ask again what their name is because there are to many houses with multipule names so they point to the name on the door again and say thats me.
would it not be easier just to say your furkin name is what i would like to answer
but i never do

These people are morons, You have to treat them like children.

"Hiya, got a special delivery for ya love, ya need to sign for it ,please"

"Erm alright..Wjose it for ? what is it ?

"Dunno love..haha..can ya just sign and print ya name on number 3"

"My name ?..cos I'm not expecting anything..print name too ?"

"Yeah, No there love !..number 3.. and print ya name..no, where it says Print Name..ta"

"Do ya want the time aswell, cos it says time..oh... hang on..number 3, is that alright?"

Outcome : Item signed for in undecipherable handwriting and name printed on number 4.

I'm the same when a non-royal mail courier delivers :oops:

Courier: got parcel, can you sign here?
me: <looking at courier & then parcel & then paper & then courier> what? where?
courier: sign here
me: <taking paper & trying to find where to sign>
courier: sign there
me: ok...right <signed>
courier: <mutters dim wit as walking away>

Royal mail stuff is easy cos i know where to sign :nana

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.

Had a great one the other day. Had a recorded delivery for an old guy on my walk so just said the usual 'print here' and 'sign here' whilst pointing to the correct places. Got a really sarcastic comment back that he was old not stupid! He then proceeded to print his name followed by 'where do i sign again?' :d'oh!
