Why not?
You're whole argument for doing it your way is that it's quicker so i will go back to my original point.
When we are supposed to work our paid hours what's in it for us doing it quicker?
The only inevitable answer would be......more job cuts surely?
It really is a losing battle trying to explain to people that the job needs to be done properly in order to protect our futures.
Only the other morning I heard someone boosting that he carried two bags around with him because there was so much mail and when I told him he should be using the trolley the reply was it's too slow and he wouldn't finish on time.

I wonder out of the two of you , who will end up with the bad back in the future
The little trollies have been great this week taking all the weight of flats weve had this week saga, caravan club, studio, and various club books and holiday brochures ,not a twinge in my back managed a good pace only thing [apart from the usual] that hurt was the bicep of carrying arm as ive said my buddy carries his pouch bag still and usually has finished his loop ahead of me but not this week trollies a definate pro on weeks like this
Being an anorak - if it was 1892 it would be emblazoned V R instead or E II R - so oldest it can be is 1953

It's people like this that has caused the problem,if you want to finish on time then do,you just bring back what you have no time to deliver,it really is not rocket science but people really do need to wake up and smell the coffee
Due to be starting our P/ L van sharing etc in the next couple of weeks plus office is closing and all being moved into another unit our delivery spans are just under 4hrs plus travel time, i see chaos ahead with the packets/ use of P.D.A's posties not getting on or working at different speeds, think there will be TROUBLE AHEAD !! still i start at my time and finish at my time and that's all i will be doing, sod coming in early and staying out late !!!
