Waiting Rooms

This has been covered here…

Many times before. I get the feeling that there are huge variations of standards, rules and quality of waiting areas. Most of these seem to fall short of what we’d like.

But, what can we do about it? It’s all very well me standing up and getting barred from sites all over the UK but that doesn’t change a thing. As soon as you approach anyone who implements these systems the classic ‘do as we say or get lost’ mantra approach is taken.

Face it, they’re not bothered.

Exactly.

Put yourself in the position of the employees who work at these RDCs. No doubt they have a long list of requests for facilities & equipment they would like to see in their own quarters, it wouldn’t go down very well if their bosses decided to spend the bit of spare budget they had on sorting out the visiting lorry drivers. Our facilities are absolute rock bottom of an RDC’s list of priorities for expenditure on facilities, they have nothing to gain through making us comfortable.
