C Householders are being made to collect their own mail because postmen are not bothering(費(fèi)力)to deliver parcels(包裹)and letters that must be signed for.Instead,they simplyleave cards saying “Sorry you were out” without even ringing the doorbell to check.Customers then have to collect their mail from their local Post Office. Consumer Watchdog Postwatch said it had received 150 plaints(投訴)from RoyalMail customers across Britain who received“Sorry you were out ”notices when they wereactually at home. Most parcels and all recorded delivery letters need to be signed for.But some postmen donot seem to want to wait for householders to answer a knock at the door.Others,employed(雇用)as short-term workers,have been known only to deliver the cards. “ We have had plaints that postmen are leaving these cards even when people are in,a spokesman for Postwatch said.“And we have also had customers telling us that short-termpostmen are not allowed to take signed-for mail to he door,so they had to drop these noticesthrough the letterbox instead.It is pletely unacceptable that this mail is no beingdelivered. The recorded mail service is more expensive and is mean to be a top quality(品質(zhì))delivery service,bnut this is not the case.” Musician Adrian Bradbury,38,plained to Postwatch after he received two cardsthrough the letterbox at his South London home while he was there caring for his babydaughter.He ran after the postman,only to find he did not have the parcels with him.Thepostman told him that he was a short-term worker and said the parcels could be picked up fromthe post office.More than three weeks later,Mr. Bradbury has not had a chance to pick uphis parcels.“ I am so busy looking after the baby,” he said,“ The parcels are probably presents for her” The Royal Mail said it knew about the situation in Mr. Bradbury39。s area and it was a way“to simplify(簡(jiǎn)化)things for new short-term workers that came in”. The Communication Workers Union criticized(批評(píng))the Royal Mail.“If the managersare encouraging this practice,the CWU condemns(譴責(zé))it.For the Royal Mail to deliverthe service customers deserve(應(yīng)得),the pany needs to spend money on properly trainedand paid long-term workers.56.Customers plain that the postmen leave cards saying“Sorry you were out”_______.
