Snail Mail Fail

[Mr Hero]

I went to check my mail before work today. I got another issue of a magazine I subscribe to, but the top right corner and many of its pagents are bent. I'm not sure if I should make a compaint. I like my magazines in pristine condition.

Once upon a time I subscribed one pretty expensive magazine for a year. It was always one or two days late. Subscribed magazines should have been out earlied than ones for shops, but I did see mine on shops before I got it. Iseriously believe somebody took it to read and delivered it afterwards. It's been years since, but I still think that if I subscribe something, I want it in time and in excellent shape.

Now that it's within business hours, I went onto the website to report a damaged issue. I will be getting a replacement copy. It'll be a few weeks, but I'm satisfied.

This.

We had the same issue on my last Navy ship. If someone had a magazine subscription the coworkers felt it was "open for grabs" just because they wanted to read it.

One of the guys was always pissed (but never said anything to the supervisor cos he didn't want to get punished for it) because he would end up having to wait to see his mag... if he ever got it.


Whenever I could, I'd try to sneak his mags to the bottom of the pile and deliver them to him in person. He appreciated that, cos it meant he got it on time (well as on time as you can get for a ship underway) and without having to have a confrontation.

Why would he be punished for wanting his property given to him? His crewmates should ASK if they could see it after he's done with it.

[PepperElf]

Because the supervisor was like that. He and I butted heads a LOT because I refused to cow-tow to him. And yes at times I got the short end of the stick because of it.

I'm sorry...I'm having a WTH? moment.

I really don't expect my magazines to be in pristine condition and bent really isn't damaged, IMO. Torn I can see complaining about.
