Are customers meant to sign for items?

I do XP1 every single time haven’t had any complaints. Done this since the good old Covid days.
Yes. You won’t have any complaints until something ends up going missing and then you will be conduct coded as has happened twice in our office recently.
I thought you claimed you worked in a perfect office, it doesn't sound that way if staff are getting conduct coded when they aren't at most other offices.
I consider it a positive that people not doing the job correctly are conduct coded. It gives us all a bad name when posties are cutting corners and fraudulently signing for parcels.
You’re not a good friend
You’re not a friend at all.
Weird. No, I am not your friend. This is an internet forum and I don’t know any of you personally. Which is probably a good thing if the contributions of some here are in any way relatable to your real life persona.
Your username is Lou Barlow who is a songwriter in a band called Sebadoh. I was quoting one of his songs I thought you would have known that. Yes he is the bass player in Dinosaur Jr too I know before you start spouting bollocks.

If it's a signature and photo and door is open then I just say you want me to add a scribble and job done apart from currency that I always get signed.

A customer put in a complaint against a postie last year because they signed for something that went through the letterbox because she was in the house!

If you're asking the question you probably know the official answer already.
Wtf does that mean Riddler?
Something must have happened for you to ask the question otherwise why just raise a new thread for the question out of the blue?
Nothing happened I was just asking that is all.
Ok, sorry just seemed a bin random. Customer signing for items came back prob about two years ago (or more)!

Should have been briefed by managers - ha ha....!

Those type of complaints started happening on the regular at my old DO after 2020. Posties would get a bollocking/very occasionally conducted, but most of the time it was swept under the carpet tbh

Yup, it only takes one customer (sender or recipient) to complain that 1000 dollars/a birth certificate/passport that was meant to be handed over as 'Signed For' or SD got chewed up by the dog behind the door for it to go horribly wrong.

You need to be following the rules to a tee then. In which case your walk would be reduced by about 50 percent and somebody else will be allocated your duty. :wave

Haven't got the staff me owd for someone else to be allocated 'my' duty! Four new starts we've had since Christmas are now four 'goodbye and gone'! Longest lasted 10 days. Shortest 2 days. :wave

You know what yellow, I spent just short of 21 years as a delivery postie. Seen at least 200 people come and go, some lasting half a shift, others years. The point is, for at least the last 10/15 years my DO didn't "have the staff" ever, but still the budget cuts kept coming and the walks kept getting longer.

Make of that what you will pal
