I drove 4.5 hours tonight and took thirteen deliveries. The biggest reason was that Thomas got sent way far out on Lake Ave. and while he was gone, I took 4 other deliveries.
I had 3 credit-card orders tonight and each one tipped $5. (One actually tipped $5.75). The average for my cash orders was $3.
I did get stiffed twice, once on a free (customer satisfaction) order. The other stiff was an order for $17.28. The woman paid with $20 and said "Just give me back $2." I should have asked her what she wanted me to do with the extra 72 cents.
Total tips for the night was $36 and total miles was 40. I'm expecting an even better night on Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve!

ReplyDeleteI like your blog. And it's been popularized since you thwarted that robbery. Per the 72 cents remark, well I hope she doesn't read it.
ReplyDeleteWith the leftover change from orders, I initially told customers, somewhat apologetically, that I don't carry coin change.
ReplyDeleteAfter a while, I stopped doing that at all. Nobody's ever complained.
