In my thread in COC -- Goodbye Mr. Man-Child EricKei comments this:
We just had something like this happen at my store. A bit long
Over the summer my almost Daughter-In-Law (ADIL) bought a house in my delivery area. This area is a nice quiet area with nice older houses. The neighborhood is great. I helped her move in.
I noticed the house next to hers was not like the others. It was on the trashy side (meaning the lawn was unkept, the house looked like not much work has been done in a while, and the back yard/garage was not in the best shape. Just me observing.
Fast Forward a couple of months. That house orders pizza. I get the delivery. I get to the door and do a normal transaction but I do glance inside. The inside is on the trashy side. Ok Whatever not for me to judge at this time.
Fast Forward again to December. House orders again. Another driver gets the order. The total is $13.50. The person at the door gives the driver $3 and is trying to talk to someone inside. The driver is also trying inform the person that they still owe $10.50. Driver and person go back a forth a couple of times BUT the person then threatens to "Cut " the driver "up" for some reason.
The driver eventually gets the rest of the total. upon returning to store he informs the MOD of what just happened. Naturally the story gets told around the store and I hear about it. Address is now blacklisted.
BUT the story does not end there (this involves a bit of Pro Revenge). I talk to ADIL about this and warn her about her neighbors. She has also noticed not so savory things like people frequently coming and going at all times of the day and night.
Now comes the interesting part. ADIL says that her friends Mother owns that house and is renting it out. She says she will inform owner of the funky goings on and the fact the tenants threatened violence toward a delivery driver.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I had a delivery up the street from ADIL and was going back to a main street when I noticed something. A police car is stilling 2 doors up from ADILs house. There is an officer standing in front of ADILs house and he is approached by another person who has a Red paper in his hand. They walk past ADILs house and approach the not-so-nice house. I could not linger so I head back to the store.
I texted ADIL about the situation. Several days later ADIL called me to inform me the tenants had been evicted and the house was trashed (as in a BIG dumpster in the driveway).
Yes this is what it takes to get blacklisted at a large Corp. chain.
Kit - At any delivery place I've ever worked at or heard of, unfortunately, no. The company still makes its money from a regular stiffer, and that's all that matters. A driver can refuse to go to certain places with cause (e.g. too dangerous...unless you work at "Dice Pizza;" they're known for firing people over a refusal), but it has to be something like skeezing on female (only) employees. Actually getting blacklisted generally requires something serious enough that you could get the custy arrested for, such as making physical/violent threats, or, far more seriously , being mean to the store manager or district manager.

And you know what?? most of the newbie non experienced trainees are really amazed at the amount of work and thought that does go into this job.
