We're overstaffed on managers and short on drivers, so my good friend and long-time coworker Nick has started taking some driving shifts.  Tonight was the first time we've worked together as drivers for an entire shift.
My night was pretty unremarkable, except for a $6.93 tip on a $23.07 order less than 1 mile from the shop.  I had 5 credit card deliveries tonight (out of 13) and they all tipped at least $2 each.
Also, on my last delivery (a credit card), the woman insisted that I keep her pen, as "she has plenty because she gets them from work.  Cheap advertising."  Well, ma'am, I bet you didn't know your advertising would reach the world wide web.
The pen is from Woodforest National Bank.  I wasn't sure where there was one so I looked it up and it's in the new WalMart right behind my house!
Nick had a few stories tonight.  One was a woman who paid with a bunch of change and tried to short him $1.40.  Nick pounded on the door until she came back with the rest of the money.
Also, he got screwed by an ex-girlfriend, one last time, and not in a good way.  He took a delivery and when she recognized him, she took back the tip that she had ready.  How rude!
My nightly totals were 5.5 hours, 13 deliveries, 46 miles, and $26 in tips.  Not bad for a Wednesday.
