Caught eating resident's tomatoes, mailman apologizes
MONTREAL — A Canada Post mail carrier got into trouble recently after he was caught eating a resident’s tomatoes.
A security camera captured the mailman munching away on the fruit growing outside a home on four separate occasions in June and July, according to CTV News.
Homeowner Paula Habib said she first thought the culprit was a squirrel.
“He never came to the door and said, ‘Look, I took one of your tomatoes and it was really good’ or made a joke about it,’’ she said. “He was just doing it and couldn’t care less… At the end of the day, (it’s) somebody stealing from your personal property and it’s not right.”
In the end, a Canada Post employee presented the woman with a note of apology, along with a container of tomatoes.
“I’m not here to have him lose his job. I know everybody is hard-working and I just feel that it wasn’t right,” said Habib.
