On Call Memorial Day
The schedule has me "on call" tonight which is just fine with me. I stopped by around 4:30 and we had only had 29 tickets all day. This is horribly slow. Memorial day is a day for cooking out (here in Ohio at least) and definitely not a day to order pizza.

If You Order Pizza, Be There When The Pizza Arrives!
I took a delivery tonight, got to the apartment and nobody was home. Dogs were barking, tv was on, but no people. Called back to the shop and Nick said the guy was "leaving the bar" 15 minutes ago.
I waited over 15 minutes for the guy to finally arrive. He went in his apartment and left his truck running. He couldn't read his own coupon to figure out which one to give me. He tipped $4 and acted like it was a fantastic tip. Well buddy I could have delivered 2 orders while I was waiting, so it was actually a little under average, considering the time wasted.
In fact, Todd worked an hour longer than me and took 10 more deliveries, so you know he was lapping me all night long. I drove 38 miles in 5 hours, made $21 on 11 deliveries.
Next Monday is Memorial Day and I'm "on call" so perhaps I won't work.

Torture!
If you follow my other blog, you know I'm doing P90X, an extreme home fitness program. The nutrition guidelines limit me to 1 serving of carbs per day. It was agony to see and smell delicious pizza & pasta all night long.
I drove 41 miles, worked 4 1/2 hours, took 12 deliveries, and made $30.

How Buying Pizza Is Like Buying A House
I've mentioned here a few times how we are required to swipe an imprint of the credit card, as well as getting the customer's signature on a separate slip of paper, for all credit card transactions. This usually ends up with me holding the customer's card and his copy of the receipt, while he is holding my (signed and hopefully tip added) copy of the receipt, and also my pen.
Usually the next step is a little game of "This is yours, that is mine" which usually ends with me saying, "And now for the real reason we're here". Well tonight, I came up with a new line, it just kind of popped out. I said to this guy, "And after all that paperwork, here's the key to your new house!"
I thought it was funny, let me know if you would chuckle or not.
Totals for the slow night: 5 hours, 7 deliveries, 25 miles, $14 in tips.
