I was out til 9pm. many of my houses were old people who are afraid to answer after dark. I try to get there before, If not I remember I have one for them the next day.......and pull from trace to deliver..........service, eh, hmm remember those days........
well I do.
As far as pit bulls, almost every stop, seems like every thread turns to dogs, but it is a problem...........that isnt addressed.
Im not.............. quote me, NOT going there. Just like bad neighborhoods, where the dogs are not addressed. I will not get out of the truck when there is a loose dog anywhere near. Biscuits, screw that, they eat em faster than I can move. I feel it is a real issue, but since no one has been killed or maimed, it is not a safety issue. I had 3 tonight. Im sure it looks like I didnt make an attempt, heck yes I did, im not trusting that I will make it away from the porch . Im not trying. I would sooner walk through a gang of thugs than dogs. It should be an issue with the safety committee it isnt, and no I am not joining, they will turn a blind eye as it isnt every route. Its just a few. They would rather worry about who isnt using a handrail, or the 3 points of contact, which is important, than who could get shot, killed, maimed. raped, assaulted, doing their job. And still being in those hoods at 9pm................We should not be out there that late. Hell Ill work til midnight for 45 bucks an hour, but it is time to address real safety issues instead of playing ring around the rosy, everything is cozy, nothing is really bad out there, its just bad drivers. Give me a break, address the news media, take into account of the drivers being held and robbed at gunpoint,or blocked in, it happend last yr, to me and others, we got away, what happens when we dont, whos lap will it be in? Why doesnt anyone care at UPS???? Why does it look like it is just a rare few who have problems and it must be them?? For instance, what do other cities do, who are in the top ten most dangerous cities??? There was another thread on this topic, but I saw no real concrete answers. What is the procedure in Detroit, St Louis, etc? Do they address it or hope it goes away. Do they shove it under the rug? Or do we have teams, or do they get them off the road? Why is the answer always the same? Just be careful, but dont run late...............it takes time to be careful and it isnt in the allowance...................Thanks Brown Cafe for lettin me rant.
