Getting delivery with a credit card...don't do it!

Don't get delivery if you don't have cash!

Gosh, do I hate it when someone places an order and wants to put it on a credit card. Not only do we have to bring you the food, walk up your stairs to your door...but now we gotta act like the credit company and check your credit.

How do we do deliveries with credit cards? You place your order and give us your credit card information. We run it through and bring you the slips. Due to the amount of fraud, we are now required to make carbon copies of your cards, in addition to the regular signature required. This takes time. We have to find a flat surface, put your card beneath the slip and run our pen across the top to get the imprint.

Another reason we hate credit card orders? Most of you do not leave a tip. You act stupid by asking dumb questions like, where do I sign? You freakin' sign at the line you ass. Most of you act all busy and all and just sign it and let me go....without leaving a tip. Fuck you too bitch!

Once again, don't do it. Use your credit card for a delivery and forever be cursed under our breaths. For those that care, leave a BIG tip and we'll forget all about it.

A delivery charge is NOT a tip!

For those of you out there who think a delivery charge is a replacement for a tip, you couldn't be more wrong. Although there is a charge for delivery, you should still provide a generous tip for your service provider. I hate it when you guys ask if the delivery charge goes to me or the restaurant. What difference does it make? if it goes to me, you won't give me a tip?!?

Don't piss off your delivery guy! After all, we do know where you live! Not that we'll come and throw toilet tissue around your yard, but the next time you call for delivery, we'll be suspiciously busy and delivery could take about 45 minutes...dig?

Apartment complexes suck

They are the worst. You need to find the right buzzer or key in their code, then wait for them to buzz you in. Then you gotta wait for the elevator and run to their door. One more time..apartment complexes suck. Delivery guys hate them.

This past sunday, I delivered to this new complex at the next town over. Its bad enough I gotta go to the next town over, but thats another topic for another day. Theres no visitor parking, so I just double park illegally. Then I do that whole buzzing me in thing and when I finally get in, it takes 15 minutes to get to the damn door of the dude!

Stop and think about how behind I am now...I'm in the next town over and I'm the only delivery guy on a night when prime time television is at its best. 15 minutes to his door and another 15 back, then another 15 to get back to the restaurant....ugh!! (tip: always tip well when ordering from the next city over. Better yet, don't order from the next city over!).

Anyone out there have a bad experience to share? either as a delivery person or the receiver of delivery?

2005 Grammy Awards Night

It was a good night of delivery today...probably due to the 47th Annual Grammy Awards. Tips were good tonight, probably out of sympathy because they realized how busy I was. There were waits of 1 hour for chinese food. I haven't had such a decent tipping night since 2 years ago...maybe. Every day should be like today. I was busy from the moment I walked in the door to work and it didn't stop until it was time to go home. Luckily for me, I was able to leave semi ontime tonight. Usually someone calls at the last minute of delivery hours so I'd be forced to wait for the food to cook and make the delivery. Tonight it was different.

One thing that pissed me off was the people from the next city over ordering food from us. 2 of them from the other city ordered at the same time and they are on different ends of the city where I deliver!!

Do you have any idea what this does to a delivery guy!?! Keep in mind that we only have one delivery guy per day...running around 2 cities makes everyone else wait. It throws off my schedule for the rest of the day. No matter, today was a decent tipping day. If it weren't, this post would be rated R for heavy profanity. Peace.
