... and Mama didn't want to cook anymore. So she ordered a pizza!
I usually don't work on Wednesdays but I chose to work tonight because it it one of our busiest nights. I think we had 5 drivers at one point. It wasn't super-busy but it was certainly a good night.
In 5.03 hours, I took 11 deliveries, made $29 in tips, and drove 61 miles. We even had a guy assigned to wash dishes tonight. I was on the road alot, but when I wasn't, mostly I helped answer phones.
The beginning of the night was really good, as I made $20 on my first 5 runs. Tips fell off after that.
Tonight's incidents (3) all involved the order-takers:
My 6th delivery, was for $15.98. The customer was certain they were quoted $14.99. The paid the $16 but didn't tip. I'm positive they weren't going to tip anyways.
The 9th delivery was to 9xxx Brewser. I had never heard of that street, so I checked the map. Not there. Manager Mike was sure it was in the Pioneer Ridge development. I went to the car and checked my GPS. Not there either. I called the customer for directions. She seemed a little put out but gave me directions. To 9xxx Berkshire. Doh!
The 11th delivery was a new order so I was to call and confirm. But the phone # didn't print on the ticket. Mike looked it up in the computer and it was entered as 440-10-025. Doh again! It was a safe neighborhood so I drove there and knocked on the door, but clearly the house was dark and nobody was home. Waste of my time and gas.
I did get $1.05 for the run but it's a 9-mile round trip ... Even if my car got 30 mpg (which it doesn't) this would be 1/3 of a gallon at $2.85.
