Later Starts - Trade Buttons

Post by pickaname »

How the f**k are we supposed to get in to blocks with trades buttons when they switch off at 12pm? What do you do with the s**t you cant deliver?

Royal Mail must be managed by a bunch of brainless c***s...

Aunty Dirty says, bring the s**t back to the office, clearly marked, UNABLE TO GAIN ACCESS.

Tell the b******'s the score before you go out and bring it back every day. I get mail for two big firms in my mech as they are in a road on my delivery and share the same postcode, which I give to the firms guy, after six o'clock comes in he'll be gone well before I'm ready, so it'll all fail :funneh :funneh Yes, have tried to get it changed before but the screws wern't interested as usual. Their problem now :funneh :funneh

Quality username by the way and yes they are! :cfo

I've got a biggen on one of my walks.
Most down my way go off at 9/10 :shock:
Some of the walks i do,i have a necklace of Key Fobs :oops:
Sick and tired of tellin screws/council.
They get their mail now when they get it,sometimes a week late.
One regular,kills them off after 3 attempts,apparently that's RM rules.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Trade buttons

Post by coppertop »

Already asked a few people on my delivey if they could make trades buttons a little later when we start later and most have said no due to security of the flats when most of the residents are at work.

You dont want to go down that road mate, I lost a key for a front door of a block of flats once and they were moaning like f**k at me for ages afterwards in case somebody found it and gained accsess. Unlikely seeing as there was nothing on the key to suggest where it was for. If they cant arrange entry amongst themselves then it should'nt be up to us to worry about it. Let management / pig headed customers flap instead.
I'm working to my time!

When I did town deliverys and they had trade buttons, if I got there late, I'd just bring it back, fair enough I only had 20 or 30, but I was buggered if I was going to ring any buzzer that wasn't the trade button. Some of the coucil blocks now have a code you can use, ie a 3 digit number makes life easier.
