[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1158608, member: 14668"] 1. I'm not a drama queen. The veteran happened to run into me by chance one day because he was eating at the same place I was, and he showed me the delivery notice I had left asked if I had his meds on the truck. I did, so I went and grabbed them for him. Since then, there have been a couple of occasions where he has come by there looking for me if I miss him on the first attempt. If I see his car I go out in the parking lot and get the meds for him. No big deal, and I am on the clock when I do it. 2. If I'm parked under a tree or next to a coffee stand on my break and a customer pulls up in their car and asks if I have their package, I check the DIAD and hand it to them if I have it. I dont make them stand there and wait for 9 more minutes until my break ends. I live and do all of my shopping in the same community that I deliver to, my wife works in this community, I [I]know[/I] a lot of these people because I have [I]lived and delivered [/I]here for almost 20 years and I am [I]not[/I] going to be an :censored: to them. 3. There is a [I]fundamental difference[/I] between management trying to coerce drivers into skipping their lunches and breaks versus a driver who [I]is[/I] taking a break and is simply approached by a customer who is asking for their package. If I am ever personally in need of union representation, I hope to God I get a steward who is [I]smart[/I] enough to tell the difference. 4. I am technically [I]not[/I] delivering during my lunch break. I am simply putting myself [I]back onto the clock[/I] for the minute or two it takes me to grab the package that my customer is asking about. [/QUOTE]
