Edited as I'm speaking to lawyer and this may become a legal case.

Re: very abusive customer
yeah, my manager once sided with the customer despite a dom listening in via my mobile to him threatening me in front of a cop!

Re: very abusive customer
Endorse the mail as Undeliverable/abusive customer. It is up to your manager to deal with it -your health and safety is paramount, apparently....

Re: very abusive customer
Refuse to deliver his mail until your manager has been out to see him, any more trouble and he'll have to come and collect his mail from the office.

Re: very abusive customer
Got the same here..... I've had customers threaten to stab me, find out where I live etc etc yet talking to the DIM gets me no further than a "call the police" brush off
YET
I've had councilling after a customer 'complained' I'd raised my voice and the DIM threat that "threatening & improper behavior" could consistute Gross Misconduct and the sack!
Remember RM don't give a toss about us!

Re: very abusive customer
Report anything like this straight to your rep. Get the H&S rep to endorse the address as threatening and abusive.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: very abusive customer
2 have tried to have a lot off to me (unwanted d2d's - not the end of the world is it) so i bit back harder. Now they're so nice to me I feel guilty having a lot off back to them. 
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

Re: very abusive customer
just told him to button it or else, he'd flagged the cop down after his dog went at me in the street and he took offence that i didn't let it bite me, by way of a size 10 boot.aiden01 wrote:what did the cop have to say about you being threatenedkorky wrote:yeah, my manager once sided with the customer despite a dom listening in via my mobile to him threatening me in front of a cop!
cops & manager did nothing in my case, in fact my manager 1st said it was nothing to royal mail and up to me to report it to the police

Are you a CWU member ?
Sounds like you need to be with a manager like that. Go to your rep asap.
You need to get this incident reported through the correct channels because things like this tend to reoccur and without a record of the advents you may find yourself in trouble.

Re: very abusive customer
this was a few years ago, union rep did get it reported, policeman there sided with and told bloke he was in the wrong at the time as his dog was loose on the street but wouldn't take it any further,krussel wrote:korky wrote:just told him to button it or else, he'd flagged the cop down after his dog went at me in the street and he took offence that i didn't let it bite me, by way of a size 10 boot.aiden01 wrote:what did the cop have to say about you being threatenedkorky wrote:yeah, my manager once sided with the customer despite a dom listening in via my mobile to him threatening me in front of a cop!

my manager wrote to him to say they won't get mail delivered until he can control his dog and gave him a free redirect to where they work!
