Australia Post worker caught on camera carelessly "throwing" parcels
A Melbourne Australia Post worker has been filmed carelessly tossing parcels and packages into his work van. The video, uploaded to Facebook by Glenn Burr, has led to an instant backlash from customers, with many saying the postman should get the sack.
Shot outside Arena post office, the video shows the worker barely paying attention as he throws packages from the trolley into his van, “without a care in the world.”
“This is what we pay Australia Post for!” said Burr.
“Not a care in the world with our packages just throw them in and don't even look where they land... I hope your packages arrive safety (but they won't) through Australia Post care.”
Commenters have been quick to show their disdain for the customer’s action, with one writing, “They say when you put 'handle with care' on your parcel, that it doesn't mean it's going to! I do cookies and I have to wrap them up real good.
“Hope there's nothing too important in there!”
“It's disgusting that our parcels are treated this way! This is a disgrace! Shame and no wonder...” commented another customer.
Australia Post was quick to respond to the video, saying the footage has been reviewed and it is reportedly looking to track down the driver.
“This is clearly not in line with our delivery and safe handling procedures and we have begun an investigation into this incident,” an Australia Post spokesperson said.
