What did your Cover have to do when you wanted to work your day off?Tuffers1875 wrote:I used to be full time and worked my day off, so I bagged all my tips.
As for the other 2 duty holders, put it like this, I won't be moving off my rota and me being messed about so you can work your day off and you do your own duty on o/t again

[/quote]clash, no offence mate but there is a big difference between being a "tight git" and being a soft touch, if you knew my skiving, work shy, couldn't give a toss about anyone but himself floater, I'm sure you would understand. I don't like being taken for a mug and I sure aint no soft touch. give me a decent floater and I'll happily share my wealth.clashcityrocker wrote:Perhaps it is time to break the cycle.saddlerposty wrote:Tips are given because of the good work the regular posty does 5 days a week, customers like to see a regular face every day and can get suspicious or wary of a stranger handling their mail. Back in the day before floaters we used to work a six day week and "strangers" were only seen if the regular was off on leave or sick.
In my opinion most , not all but most, reserves and floaters don't a give a "flying fox" as you put it about the quality of service they offer when covering a duty.
its all down to a " its not my duty not my problem" attitude.
I certainly wouldn't give my floater a share.
Bring back the 6 day week I say.
Be the bigger man and extend the hand of generosity.
Maybe they have the attitude they have because of the attitude they perceive you have.
IE - They don't give a flying fox because you are a tight git.
in which case I would gladly give him one-sixth.

[/quote] you obviously missed the irony? My point was: When you were FT you say you worked your days off and bagged all your tips. Obviously your Cover had no say in it (and in your words was "Messed About", by you) I was asking what did he have to do because you chose to work?No need for name calling Tuffers,Dorset Plodder wrote:Read my post again numbskullTuffers1875 wrote:What did your Cover have to do when you wanted to work your day off?Dorset Plodder wrote:[quote=""Tuffers1875"]I used to be full time and worked my day off, so I bagged all my tips.

That's that cleared up thenDorset Plodder wrote:Well Thanks for explaining that Tuffers.
Certainly don't have the inclination to work my Rest Day now...I'm too knackered! You have a good Christmas.
Same as mine then mate. I get totally sick of him, cocky sod as well, I wouldn't have him delivering milk let alone post.Happybunny87 wrote:I'd quite happily give my day off cover some of my tips but they never attempt to put any D2Ds in on my day off, seems to run round, delivers no end of stuff wrong, wrecks the van, leaves the van looking like a bin, never fills it up when it needs filling up, doesn't know how to politely speak to people and has nicked my waterproofs so no I don't think they deserve it?
I've not heard of one. Most of our van shares are still relatively new and although I know a few that aren't getting on they just seem to grin and bear it!
True of most delivery offices, people do whatever they want to suit them then justify it however they like. Some of the pettiness and underhand tactics I've seen in RM is like being back in primary school, delivery office gossip is just as bad.Dorset Plodder wrote:
No need for name calling Tuffers,
Now that you're PT, and in a similar situation to your old cover, you don't seem willing to let them work their day off on their own duty, and Mess you about!
Just seemed like double standards to me.
