a day in the life (of a delivery guy)


delivered a pizza to gillioz...
on my receipt.. it said 'call box'
but in order to use the call box... i would need to know who to right.. since there were a number of options
ringing every one until someone knew who ordered a pizza seemed like a time consuming choice
i called the number on the receipt.. nobody answered.. i left a message saying i was there with the pizza
while.. still not thinking ringing everyone was a good idea
there was.. however.. a doorbell of sorts attached to the will call/ticket window
i rang... and a lady came out.. she didnt know who ordered it.. but said 'thompson' might be a man named allen
who had talked about getting pizza earlier in the day... we ended up going to the stage.. where about 10 people were
none of them said they ordered it...

after calling the number two more times...
the lady from the office said that sometimes people order the crew food as a gift
and that i should just leave the pizza there.. and she would figure it out
... after having been there about 10 minutes.. and knowing that i had two other deliveries to make
so i should get back on the road.. i figured i might as well leave it...
the other option was to take it with me.. which by the time the person called
it would probably be cold and have to be remade anyway
i called and left one more message.. stating that the pizza was downstairs
it was paid by credit card after all.. and usually it doesnt matter who i get to sign for it
often we deliver to businesses.. where whoever ordered it.. might send someone else to get the pizza
and they will just sign

i left.
after delivering the other two orders.. on my way back to the store.. the guy called
i told him the situation... apologized and explained that i couldnt get ahold of him.. nobody knew who ordered it
but they explained that such a thing has happened in the past.. and that they would figure it out
he did not seem upset...

back at the store.. he had apparently called there directly afterward.. and started cussing out my manager
in turn.. this caused me to be yelled at by my manager.. which is the second time thats happened in the 4 1/2 years that ive worked there...
he was mostly angry that he was getting yelled at of course.. and ended up apologizing to me later
but at the time he was also angry that the pizza was "stolen" by the other people

so.. then i go on my next delivery which was close to the gillioz ...
i had already decided that i would stop by and see if there was any of the pizza left
in hopes of appeasing my boss at least.. that i got the pizza back...
on the way there.. my manager called and told me to do just that.. and to also charge them for the pizza
great...
so i got there.. and got in... and talked to the people from the stage.. that had ended up getting the pizzas
they said... that they had actually all just eaten.. before i had arrived the first time.. so they werent really hungry
and that they ate at most.. 5 slices (out of 6 pizzas)
and then the guy came downstairs looking for them.. so they gave him 5 whole pizzas..
and one pizzas with only 3 slices left

at this time.. he could have either
A: called us.. and asked for us to remake the 1 pizza that was eaten out of
or B: call us.. and ask for 6 new pizzas.. with the choice of most likely giving back all of the pizza that he did have
he chose C: call us.. cuss my boss out.. and refuse to pay for any of the pizza.. ask for no more sent out.. but still yet keep all the pizza that he did get

anyway.. after talking to them.. i had the lady from the office tell him i was there...
he came down and started laying into me.. saying that i should not have left the pizza there...
and asking if we have a policy that says we need to see the credit card before letting someone sign it
etc etc... i was nice as possible.. explaining all the reasons (as stated previously) to why i left the pizza there
as well as explaining that there would be no policy about having to see the credit card...
just like you dont have to show it at a gas station.. or when you order online
the lady downstairs even told him that she told me to leave the pizza there
he was appeased by nothing... he made a copy of the credit card... and then accused me of signing it
i wasnt quite sure.. who had signed it.. because there were 10 or so people on the stage.. and by the time i was back there.. most of them were gone i guess... after explaining everything once again.. and stating that at this point his order had been voided out of our system anyway.. on top of the fact that he still got 5 pizzas... and that i did everything i could to contact him when i was there the first time (he never told the lady downstairs i was coming either) .... aslo .. later i found out that the phone number he gave us.. was for one of his students it would seem......
then lastly after being accused of forgery.. and having been there discussing it with him for about 10 minutes...
i decided it was time to go.. before i started getting angry
when i got back to the store.. i found out that he had called once again.. and told the manager at that time (different manager) that i looked all nervous supposedly and ran out after he accused me of signing it...
which i suppose he mistook my being pissed off.. and tired of repeating myself with him.. as nervousness

he also said he would be coming up to the store to discuss it ....
well the manager that was there earlier.. had left by that point... and another reason he wasnt happy.. was that he had to open in the morning.. he is also rather sick... and then had to work a split.. and be back at 4:30.. and work all the way till 3am.... so she told him when he would be back... ... he said he would come talk to him then

i got let out at 5:30... the guy hadn't shown up yet... but had apparently called a little after 4.. asking if he was there yet... no doubt he showed up after i left... which is good for me.. cause i didnt want to see him

either way.... completely ridiculous... and put a huge damper on my day
i dont even know what he expects when he goes to talk to my manager
he got 5 free pizzas... he wasn't charged.... we offered to remake the pizzas...
what more could he possibly need.

anyway... why are people such dicks?

well look here... how have you been old friend?
what do you mean you dont remember me...!?
it hasnt been that long..  ............. hmm... or maybe it has...

i dont really know anyone on here anymore
maybe thats for the best though.... only the select few will notice my ramblings
i could be free!
free to talk about my inner most feelings and thoughts!
i could discuss my worries about life and love and philosophy and politics
i could release my darkest secrets from their long held confines!
this new world this open door this empty canvas waiting to be covered!

*yawn*... eh... ill probably just continue with the fart jokes though

its nearly 7am... ive been up since midnight... took a nap from 6pm last night until 12 in the AM
my sleeping schedule hasnt been very logical lately... sleep when I can... then Art it up when im awake
there is a painting behind me... need to try and put a layer of paint covering the whole thing before friday.. only two colors on it at the moment.. background colors... its just a nude master study... perhaps ill post (hot) pics later
but for now... i need to do some 3D modeling for animation... before 11am when i go to class
then when im out of there... at 2pm i go to ceramics.. until 5pm... joy!... then ill come home and go to bed most likely.. only to wake up once again at midnight-ish

gah
