"We love parcels"

Post by eastie »

WTL today we had us shown the RM advert :roll:
But the next subject brought up by the DOM afterwards was about " bringing too many docketed parcels back after delivery"
This is because our callers office isn't big enough but what does he want us to do , throw them over the gate or doorstep them??
If there not in they get a docket. OK you can deliver some to neighbours but the rounds are already too big and the Xmas rush hasn't even started yet.

With nobody on annual leave for the Xmas pressure, don't the spare bodies do extra packet duties?
Normally extra vans are hired to handle the increase in packet traffic.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Christmas version here: http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/442390 ... mas-advert

This spot is filled with Christmas trees, idyllic country landscapes and adorable little moppets jumping up and down happily when they see their postman. Throw in a choir singing "All You Need Is Love" and I'll be gosh darned. I'm not completely dead inside yet.

Gave our manager the choice "loops or parcels" He told us to leave parcels :arrrghhh
Only the middle of November.

I wouldn't say I love parcels.
I quite like them.
