We who work at Postal Outlets are not employed by Canada Post. We are employees of the people who own the drugstore chains or convenience stores or wherever the OUTLET is. We have to follow the rules and regulations of Canada Post and rules and regulations of the people who have hired us. And answer to our Canada Post retail business manager and our employers. I would love to be able to tell people with attitudes like you to go to he11, but at work, I can’t. I can only speak of in larger centres and the Outlets in the city where I live. If, as you say, the delivery people do not bring parcels with them, perhaps you live in a small town or somewhere rather than a larger centre? Is your Post Office an actual stand alone corporate post office or is an outlet? Small towns in Alberta don’t have door to door letter carriers either. And maybe 1 post office. 1 town I know of has a stand alone Post Office, clerk is probably employed by Canada Post. Another has(had?) a Postal Outlet in a gift shop store. Canada Post employee? Don’t know. You don’t get mail before noon? Whoopee sh*t. You have a post office box? Our post office box mail doesn’t come in until about 11:30 a.m. Could be earlier or later depending where ‘your’ outlet is on the driver’s route. And this is the clerk’s fault how?!? I’d sure like to see what the item delivery notices ‘you’ get look like.
You said “The fat lazy cows that work in the local post office for a start. Send a notice that you have a parcel and when you go to get it they say it hasn't been sorted yet, you have to come back tomorrow.”
I don’t believe a clerk at a Postal Outlet or Post Office ‘sends out’ a notice that you have a parcel before parcels are sorted and entered in the computer.
You said: “They don't deliver parcels. They just put a card in your box and you go to the post office and pick it up.”
By the way, if you have a post office box, you can request “No Flyers or Junk Mail” be put in your box.
You said: “…..CP survive in an age where snail mail is rapidly disappearing.” Wow, interesting, for the amount of mail/letters/parcels we process in a day at work…
As Liberalman said: “There is a lot of rules and regulations a postal worker has to learn as well a lot of skills to do the job properly as in any profession not everyone can to the job.”
Taxslave, I’d sure as he*l like to see how long you’d last working with me at a Postal Outlet. I don’t think you could handle the pressure or the crap we have to take from people like you.
If you think you can do better with FedEx or UPS or another courier, PLEASE be my guest…. Go to another carrier, then we won’t have to put up with crap from you and other customers like you.
Your worthless ex bro in law, I can’t explain him, however you did say “worthless ex”. That is your explanation. worthless
Taxslave you said: “They don't deliver parcels. They just put a card in your box and you go to the post office and pick it up.” WHO is ‘THEY’ ?
QUOTE=taxslave;1709842]SO you are saying that you are one of the worthless ones that collect pay from Canada Post? If you had ANY comprehension skills at all you would have read that the delivery people do NOT bring parcels with them. Neither do we ever get mail before noon. Nowhere on the notices does it say after 1pm the next day either. Also we don't have postal drop offs. We have a Post Office in town.
