Royal Mail Post Woman does round with fag hanging out of her mouth

I often see the same Royal Mail post woman delivering Mail door to door with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.

I think it’s really odd, it doesn’t look professional and surely she shouldn’t be allowed to.
Now, don’t worry, I don’t plan on complaining.
But after having the conversation about it to my DH (an ex-smoker) he thinks it’s perfectly acceptable and is doing no harm.

So I wondered. Is it just me that thinks it’s weird? I am prepared to be told yes.

I’ll add, I also notice when, say, I go to somewhere like Matalan or Dunelm and there are employees smoking outside the front door in uniform. And I think this is not right also.

YABU- who cares if she smokes while delivering people’s mail.

YANBU- that’s not right

You're allowed to smoke outdoors and it isn't impacting her ability to do her job, how exactly should her employer police this and why? Hmm

So what. I had to laugh at looking "profeshnial" ( sorry, its an 'in' joke at work) with a manky, dirty, great big post sack on your shoulders? I did the Christmas post as a student, it's physically demanding,those bags weigh a blooming ton. Her choice.
