My guess is, probably not. I was the unlucky unfortunate victim last night when I delivered some food to the address. I'm only in my second week, and I have already had way more than my fair share of tricky customers and places that I have had to deliver to.
I have already mentioned in previous stories that my GM thinks I am just a tad slow, so I am trying to impress him. I'm mostly using my GPS but still looking at the map. But when I spoke the address into the GPS, something different kept coming up
and I have to call the customer, which I do about 3 times, and the phone number is disconnected.
So I call the store, and another driver gives me directions. I finally get to the street, but I cannot find 3212. I see 3204 and then the houses go down from there. I asked some people who were standing outside if they knew this address, and they said maybe it was 1 of those streets where the house numbers just fluctuate like that. I drove up and down the street, and the numbers keep going down. Going back to the end of the street, the highest it goes is 3204, but no 3212.
At this point I am getting extremely pissed off, as I am worried about what my GM will say, as he has pretty much already put me on final notice for not being fast enough, even though its only been a week. The people I talked to offered to buy the food, but I had to take it back to the store. No payment collected, no tip. This was just fucking great!
Although my GM and other managers realized that this was not my fault, they defended the customer by saying that it was probably an honest mistake. Ok, let's go over this again.... A house number that doesn't exist, and a phone number that has been disconnected. And the food never left the store. How in the fuck did they order the dam food if the phone number they gave us was disconnected? Because they most likely pranked us using another phone and gave a number they knew was disconnected.
I am so pissed right now, that if I saw the person who did it, I would really have to restrain myself from throwing the pizza in their face, and forcing them to pay for it, with a generous tip for my gas and time wasted!
