and SOP D22.8 also states this:
For Bring My Label collections, if the customer isn’t at home, post
the label through the letterbox* using the posting peg
Never knew that nor have I ever seen or heard of anyone following that instruction, and given the complete lack of training regarding anything that's been introduced over the years is that any surprise?
That was the SOP when the collection on delivery was introduced.
However, when somebody decided it might infringe someone's rights under data protection legislation, it was updated to put any unused labels in the confidential waste.
Clash, I got that the other day from the SOP space on Robin, it's the SOP D22.8, Feb 26 version 8.0, so they need to update it if that's the case.

Yeah, I notice that. We're doing F4 packets while PF have some jiffy bags rattling around in their Sprinter.

Hmmm, "common sense". They can barely manage to drag themselves off the settee, away from their gigantic TV screen on the wall, to answer the door.
