Odd question from my DOM today
After I got back to the DO today the DOM called me over to say one of my customers has complained that they haven't had any mail for two weeks and did I know anything about it. I said that I didn't but he seemed to give the impression that something was amiss. He asked if I'd delivered there today or yesterday to which I said I don't know. His attitude has concerned me as I feel he was implying that I am responsible for their lack of mail.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Pop a first class letter in the post to them tonight.
You've still got time.
I'm sure they will be chuffed.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Odd question from my DOM today
It's nothing unusual and nothing to worry about.
Every now and again some dopey customer(not the genuine cases) will complain that they haven't had mail for 3 years or something like that.
It usually translates as this.
They are waiting for something in particular that some company has swore they sent out two weeks ago.
The customer doesn't want to complain about one particular item because that sounds trivial so they exaggerate a little...or a lot.
Customers...don't you just love them.

I reckon you're version is about right, fishtank. Clash, I'm not sure I could trust myself to be polite

Had the same put to me once...a customer complained that he had not had any mail for 4 days!!! He said "I ALWAYS get mail"
I said "Well obviously you DONT"!

Re: Odd question from my DOM today
I would think most posties have had this at some point.
I had one a while ago, manager says: 'Mrs so and so says she hasn't had any mail for 5 days'
I said: 'that's right she hasn't. What do you want me to do about it, send her a letter myself?'
End of conversation.
