[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 727096, member: 12570"] By most of us, are you referring to the drivers that take their lunch in the evening or skip it all together? Because most of the drivers that follow the methods and the contract cannot do both. [COLOR=red]This has been discussed ad finitum--I won't change your mind nor will you change mine. I don't have much tolerance for lunch skippers, either, but am not as adamant about following contractual lunch times and neither is my mgt team (obviously because it benefits them). All they ask is that we take our full 45 and 10.[/COLOR] If your first sentence was correct, why does UPS still ask us for sales leads? [COLOR=red]Are you going to tell me that when you are delivering a bulk stop at a warehouse that you can't ask if they are happy with their current shipping and, if not, would it be OK if someone from UPS BD called them? Or if you are in an office and you notice a pile of FedEx Express outbound envelopes that you don't ask for a business card for the office manager while making the delivery? Sales leads are simply looking around while you are at a stop and then asking for a contact name and phone number. We are not there to sell the business.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]It would be nice and I do agree with Limper that more customer contact would help us grow as a company but both you and I know that, if anything, our limited customer contact will be reduced, not increased, as production demands continue to increase.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
