I've been a pizza deliverer for the past 3 years as a summer job. The pay is excellent (I make $10/h in tips alone on a bad day)
Anywho today I had an off day.
I was fiddling around with someones nestea bottle while waiting for the food to be ready, a worker joked that it would now explode when someone opens it. So I got the food, put it in the bag.... walked out WITHOUT the nestea bottle. Worker yelled my name and I went back for the bottle.
So I throw the bottle on my seat, and put the bag ontop of it (I usually do this because it evens out the bag on my slanted seat. I deliver the food, drive back to the store... and @#$^@ I forgot to give the man his nestea bottle. So he called and complained, and I went off to make 2 more deliveries... one of them the bag of food tipped over and really jumbled up the food (it was a mess)
So yeah, this **** happens to me fairly often. I'll get out of my car to deliver the food and forget the ticket with the price on it, or I'll forget a drink. Sometimes I ring the wrong doorbell because I didn't care to read the address and compare it to the ticket... I just saw 2 numbers that matched and was like YEAH this is the place. DAMNIT its 42 not 32 Several times I completely #$%ed up deliveries giving the wrong bag of food to the wrong people. And once every 1-2 weeks I ruin someones food by my carelessness.
Most of the stuff I get away with without anyone knowing... I'm a good quick driver so I make up for my occasional mishap with that.
Its an interesting job because the people I work with are very loud, extroverted, arrogant, speak-the-mind type. And I'm quite the opposite. They compare me to one of the cooks there. they say I have the same social ackwardness, and the same...faults?. I hear them talk about this cook and how he forgets, you can't throw a lot of orders at him at once, and sometimes he doesn't listen. So yeah I think we both have ADD :cool:
Yeah this was a rant... just some **** on my mind. Can anyone relate?
