ONE more story on people who I swear need some BRAINS in their head or I might NOT be able to control the Fist of Death.
I was dispatched on a triple. The first order I kinda recognized the address. As I pull up to the address I realize YUP it is the ONLY purpose built 4-plex apt building in the area. I look at the ticket and also realize there is NO apt # on the ticket.
I get on my cellphone and call the number. a person answers and I go through my standard spiel inquiring if an order was placed and to confirm the address specifically asking for the apt #.
The person on the other end says they did order BUT (and here is where things always go straight to hell) -------
me - the now hairless fearless delivery driver
SFB = SHIT for brains
SFB - OH we are STILL on the road. we are just crossing the bridge < WHICH friggin bridge we have SOOOOO many AND WHY the fuck are you on the road).
me - <wishing I had more hair to pull out> so you are not far?
SFB - YEAH
me - Well I can make another delivery and be back shortly. Could you please give me your apt #??
SFB - we will be there shortly.
me - OK <YEAH RIGHT>
I go to my 2d drop about 4 blocks away and return to address #1
I call again. basically the same conversation. STILL no apt #
Enough is enough. I call the store and get the MOD to call them. HE get the same "run-around" Still no apt # and NO ETA of their arrival. MOD tells me to do my 3d drop and return to the store.
NOW normally what would happen is this:
About 20 minutes later the "customer" would call the store and bitch and moan and whine they haven't gotten their order yet. and stamp their feet and throw a temper tantrum like a 3 YO. Then we would give them their order for free (yes this is SOP for my company.).
NOPE not this time. EXACTLY an hour later I was on another delivery when my phone rang. The ringer indicated that the number calling was not on my contact or white list. So I ignore it until after I make my delivery. I recognize the number as being the one from order #1 above. and YES no voice mail. I call the store to alert the MOD of the situation. Whatever he says. IF they want their order they can call the store.
Still not the end of the story
They do indeed call the store BUT NOW want their order delivered to an address way over on the east side of town and WAAAYYYY out of our delivery area. MOD tells the customer this. <SO SORRY>
Still not the end of the story
about 30 minutes later my phone RINGS again. and GUESS whose number it is???? o If you guessed "customer" from above you get 2 internets as a prize.
Still not the end of the story.
I got off work about 45 minutes. I had to get the manager to settle up my tickets. As I am entering the office, the MOD is taking an order.
GUESS who is ordering????
anyone???? ANYONE????? ? ANYONE??? Buler Buler????
If you can not guess I will tell you.
