MONTREAL — Canada Post says it has spoken to a Montreal mail carrier who can be seen on video on four separate days pilfering tomatoes from a hanging basket outside a home.
Spokesman Jon Hamilton says in an email to The Canadian Press the corporation has apologized to the customer and that the employee’s behaviour was not appropriate.
CTV Montreal broadcast footage from a security camera showing the mail carrier munching away on the fruit on four separate days — June 29 and July 3, 5 and 9.
Resident Paula Habib told the TV network she initially thought squirrels were responsible for the larceny.
She said she would forgive the mailman if he replaced the plant or dropped off some tomato sauce.
Hamilton says Canada Post has spoken to the employee but will not be offering further comment.
Habib, meanwhile, called the postman’s behaviour “rude.”
“He never came to the door and said, ‘Look, I took one of your tomatoes and it was really good,’ or made a joke about it,” she said. “He was just doing it and couldn’t care less.”
The network said the mail carrier was even spotted helping himself to a neighbour’s strawberries.

MONTREAL — Canada Post says a supervisor has apologized in person to a Montreal woman whose tomatoes were pilfered by a mail carrier.
Spokesman Jon Hamilton says in an email to The Canadian Press the supervisor also brought the woman tomatoes as a goodwill gesture.
The mail carrier can be seen on video on four separate days in late June and earlier this month munching away on tomatoes from a hanging basket outside a home.
Hamilton did not answer a question about whether the mailman would keep the same route.
Canada Post has said the employee’s behaviour was not appropriate.
CTV Montreal broadcast footage earlier this week from a security camera showing the mail carrier eating the fruit, and resident Paula Habib told the TV network she initially thought squirrels were responsible for the larceny.
Habib called the postman’s behavior “rude” but said Friday she is happy with the way Canada Post has dealth with the matter.
CTV said the mail carrier was even spotted helping himself to a neighbour’s strawberries.
The Canada Post supervisor told Habib the mailman “feels very bad” about the incident.
