Attitude of sorting office staff over ID (From Warrington Guardian)

Attitude of sorting office staff over ID

3:28pm Thursday 7th June 2012 in Letters

FOLLOWING on from previous letters regarding Milner Street sorting office, I would like to share my experience with readers.

Having received the dreaded red card, I visited the office on a Saturday morning. The conversation went as follows;

Postman: Have you got any ID?

Me: Handed over my driving licence

PM: But this isn’t your name on the packet.

Me: No sir it’s my daughter’s name.

PM: Has she got ID?

Me: She’s 12.

PM: Has she not got a birth certificate?

(All this time he has my packet in his hand)

Me: Look, it’s pencils for an art project at school, of which I ordered online.

PM: I can’t let you have it without her ID.

All this after waiting 15 mins in queue.

The end of the tale, i have had it redelivered. And i have just signed for it this morning – without my daughter’s ID.

I hope you publish this as there are a few disgruntled people.
