The ultimate D2D?

Post by fishtank »

Someone in the D2D contracts/sales thing booked in a D2D that not only doesn't fit in an RM2000 frame....it doesn't fit through the letterbox.
As far as I'm aware talks are ongoing as to exactly what to do with it,I haven't seen it but I'm told it's genuine.
I expect the poor sales guy might not get an invite to the Christmas party.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

This would have been ideal when you we were pay a piece-rate and you had folks going round doing other people's D2Ds as Cash in Hand. It will be so easy to fill a pouch with the stuff and go round stuffing mail boxes or doorsteps.

OMG! Maybe we would be delivering those small local phone books next :d'oh!

One walk in my office has 13 bundles of Aldi catalogs and a similar number of boxes of British Red Cross D2D (plus other contracts). The A*s*h*l*s that take on these contracts should be made to deliver them.

As long as RM are making a nice profit from the rubbish we deliver they don't give a monkey's what hardship they cause the postie on delivery.

Okay; maybe I don't understand. What is the actual hardship ?

Thanks
