Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
its a ****job, you loose cash on driving but sometimes tips come in handy... delivering pizza in a modified car is fun because everyone looks at you funny... like "who did you mug for that"
I don't usually do this as I'm a fairly good natured person most of the time, but its time for a rant...
Its specific to work, but applies to all who do some sort of delivery work, ie. couriers. The past week at work has been pretty busy and have had quite a few deliveries to do, however these deliveries didn't go with out their problems. I had alot of difficulty finding two specific addresses because of 1) there are no numbers on the letterboxes or fence; 2) there is poor lighting, either due to street lamps or lack of, and tight arse morons who don't turn their front porch lights on; 3) The address is not easily visible as it is tucked away behind another residence and the customer has failed to tell you this, then telling you when you get the door, 'oh youve been here before, so you should know where it is!' Bull****, just because we have delivered there before, doesn't mean I've been there before! We have more than just one driver you tool! 4) Customers who give you their phone number and when you try to call it, its either busy, rings right through, or the phone is turned off. We ask for your number so we can call you just in case there is a problem, such as having difficulty finding the address, or we're running late because its busy, therefore delaying the arrival of their order and them wondering why the order is late and abuse you. Well **** you too, I did try to call you, not just once several times, yet you didn't anser your bloody phone!!! 5) People who take forever to answer the door. Once I sat outside for 10mins, ringing the bell, knocking on the door and windows, calling them but to no avail. They only by chance heard me knocking when they walked past the front door. Geeze people, if your expecting a delivery then keep an ear out for the door bell!!! Lucky it wasn't busy that night; 6) Drunken idiots forgetting that they ordered pizza and bugger off somewhere else
[/rant]
I needed to get that out of my system... **** I hate my job for that reason. gggrrr... Anyone know of any part time work available somewhere?
