No, Most Posties are Twats
I’ve known at least half a dozen posties and they’ve all been very decent . Now scaffolders not so good ! Some aggressive if challenged on anything , probably why they were so useless at school . Anger control issues . Not all obviously but def some .
Tipping is so yesterday - goes back to the pre-minimum wage days and was intended to help supplement poorly paid workers income.
Surprised the Post Office union allows their members to accept tips. I mean, how derogatory and belittling is that? Could cause a Christmas walk-out.
Anyone noticed that there are a lot more women posties these days?
Not since he gave himself a tip by stealing my son's birthday cards a few years ago and taking any cash in them. He was sacked later which is when we found out from the new postman why he got 2 birthday cards instead of a dozen that year.
It does happen but is a very rare occurrence - in my 20 years as a postie, and involving thousands of workers - there were two incidents. In both cases the people were sacked and charged - one got a custodial sentence. Stealing someone else's mail is considered a serious offence and has been since the founding of the post office a couple of hundred years ago - it is regarded as a felony and still carries a sentence of up to life imprisonment. Willfully delaying the mail is regarded as a misdemeanor and carries a fine or prison sentence on conviction. Also - other postal workers resent any such actions and support the application of the law to the fullest extent in such circumstances.
I was surrounded by them in the 1st few seasons at the Amex. My remark was a little
bit tongue in cheek.
Well, if the Frau orders and doesn’t add the 5 euro tip this is exactly what I do....in a rather ostentatious manner.
No as I think he helps himself anyway.

And about time too - although part of the reason is because the pay and conditions are shite.
