• (#16) Leave Women ALONE

  Posted by u/QuackadillyBlip8:

  A tale from a pizza gal and her adventures of being harassed by weird random dudes that aren’t even customers.
  So usually I (28f) really don’t get overly hit on regularly. I’ll get the sweetheart babe, can I get your number, and ohhhh how much would yooou like me to tip lil lady bs but thankfully (for someone that’s working in finger length shorts) for the most part people leave me alone. Tonite my first encounter was a guy from across the street from my delivery destination saying “YEAHHHH that’s future ex wifey material right there!!” I ignored him, but the guy coming home to neighboring house I was at was like “yeah that’s not how you pick up women is it?” No, it’s not. Thank you neighbor dude for keeping it real. It’s always nice when there’s other people around that actually acknowledge when things like that happen, adds a little bit more sense of security.

  So that was chill, the second encounter was not quite that chill. At this point in the night it’s about 12:30 AM. Not the worst part of the area, not as many meth heads as other parts of the city I deliver in and it’s close to a main road so that was a major reason why I was able to keep my cool. I pull up to the house, get out and literally as soon as I knock on the door this f*cking guy rolls up on a bicycle on the sidewalk behind me and starts his sh*t. I mostly tuned out what he was saying, but I remember him being like “yeahhh mama that’s what I’m talking about. You looking good tonite. You need me to come up and knock on the door for ya?” I said “ahahaha thanksss and noo thank you sir I’ve got this.” Why the f*ck did I say thanks? That was dumb as sh*t, why be nice to this random degenerate rolling up on me shirtless while I’m trying to do my job? Now he’s going to think I want to continue this encounter and that’s exactly what happened. And to top it off the customer still hasn’t answered the door so I call him.

  While I’m calling, this guy is still talking to me from his bike. No idea what he was saying because thankfully the customer answered and said was on his way out. Another minute or so goes by and a bunch of cops started speeding down the main road and bike dude shuts up for a minute just standing with his bike staring at me. Customer still is not coming to the door, and I’m getting heated at this point because my tazer is in the car and if this bike dude who is decently bigger than I am charges at me, I’m not getting to it in time. The cops are done passing after a minute and it’s silent. The dude goes “yeah I really dig your tattoos” you’re like 20 feet away and it’s dark out dude you can’t see my f*cking tattoos. Then he finally goes “yeah I thought about asking you for your number earlier”. For a split second I thought “does he mean like at the beginning of this hostage encounter I’ve found myself in or has this dude been watching me deliver around the area?” Before I turn to him and say “alright man I’m going to have to ask you to F*CK off” to which he raises his hands, laughs and says “alright peace and love” and rides off. Of f*cking course as soon as he does that the customer finally opens the door, completely oblivious to the entire encounter. I practically run back to my car and gtfo out of there and I can see dude hauling *ss on his bike a couple streets down.

  Idk why I’m still sort of hung up on how he said he wanted to ask for my number earlier, because I have a solid 4 more nights of work now thinking some shirtless psycho is stalking me on his bike, but I’m sure it’s really nothing. I’m still going to keep my taser in my pocket from now on though for good measure.

  TLDR; I was on delivery tonite and had one guy cat call me from across the street. Then in the middle of the night had a guy on a bike incessantly harass me in-front of a customers house until I told him to f*ck off.
• (#17) No Tip For Service That's Too Good

  Had a delivery to a house about 6 mins away. I know I'm a fast driver, as I get compliments on how quickly the pizza arrives a lot, but I guess today I went a little too fast.

  I get to the front door and the man looks very confused. I start to think maybe he didnt order this food or it could be a prank call, as these have been happening a bit more frequently lately...

  Nope. He ordered the pizza, he was just very suspicious as to how it got there so quick. He accused us of not actually making him a fresh pizza, but instead that we had an extra one just waiting on the side in the warmer or something, and that was basically his logic for not tipping me. I watched that pizza get made and that thing was EASILY an S tier pizza. Great work by the cooks as always, but not good enough for this guy I guess.

  Our service was just so good it made a customer sus I guess.

  This happened this past week. We got a last minute delivery for a not-so-great area notorious for not tipping, and I got stuck with it. The guy had already ordered once that day, and he'd paid with a card the first time, no tip. This time was cash.

  For this delivery, his total came out to be $20.20. When he opened the door, I made a joke about seeing him so much, and then he handed over two $10 bills. He said that was all he had but he'd get me next time, citing the coin shortage as an excuse to not have any change.

  I've had several people lately cite the coin shortage as an excuse to not pay the last few cents, and I told him the same thing I told them: I need the last twenty cents. I might have let it slide if he was nice about it, but like most people like this, the guy was rude and was acting like my showing up with his food was a major inconvenience.

  "So you're telling me I've gotta go all the way back in my house for TWENTY CENTS?"

  "Yep." I crossed my arms and stared him down, and eventually he gave in. He went inside and came back about a minute later with a handful of change. I counted it up and it turned out to be sixteen cents.

  "That's all I've got, for real this time."

  At this point I was more than a little annoyed, and I was through with this bastard. So, again, I told him I needed the exact total.

  I stared him down again for another thirty seconds before he FINALLY pulled a dollar bill out of his pocket. "Oh, I forgot I had this in here!" Sure you did, pal.

  So he handed over the bill and I gave him back the coins. Then he got greedy.

  "Where's my eighty cents?" he demanded.

  I passed over the pizza and told him, "Sorry, but I don't have any coins to make change. Coin shortage, you know?"

  "Well, ain't you got nickels? Nobody uses nickels. Go get me some."

  I was not about to go back to the store and come back with eighty cents worth of nickels after the crap he'd already pulled, especially since the store was already closed. I told him no and he slammed the door in my face.

  You can't make this sh*t up.

  TL;DR Guy tried to short me twenty cents, and went out of his way to try and keep me from getting it. Then he had the nerve to demand I get him his change in all nickels.

  People who work somewhere with a large campus or multiple entrances, and just give the main address, default phone number, and no instructions: what. the. f*ck. is. wrong. with. you.
• (#11) Customer Service People Don't Owe You Anything Other Than Service

  Posted by u/pizzathrowaway7035:

  I've been a pizza delivery driver for several years, and today is the first day I legitimately feel ashamed of doing what I do. This story may not seem to be a huge deal to some people, since it's probably more of me being socially inept when it comes to a big audience and being recorded and not being comfortable with my singing voice. So I may be overreacting, but I can't shake this feeling of humiliation.

  Since I was a kid, i've always been pretty shy. Even amongst close friends i'm somewhat quiet. And I am absolutely terrible speaking in front of large crowds. I remember in highschool having nightmares for weeks about having to do an upcoming presentation, and I would be dreading doing it every day until the day of. Not only that, but i'm a terrible singer, and I know it. I don't even feel comfortable singing in front of friends and family.

  Which brings me to the actual story. I had a delivery today with a note written in the 'special instructions' section that said "Sing a christmas carol for a tip". I didn't really take it all that seriously, and figured they were just joking. And if they weren't, I thought of a corny line to say while driving there to hopefully satisfy them if they were serious.

  So I show up and it's some kind of small party going on. There's probably roughly 10-15 teenagers gathered around in the living room and the mom comes to the door and takes the pizzas (there were 6 larges) as I give her the receipt to sign.

  She then looks at me with a smile and goes "So did they tell you?!?

  Me: "Haha, oh the note? Yeah I saw that, but trust me, you don't want to hear me sing."

  Her: "Oh come on, you have to!" She then ushers me inside and closes the door behind me. All of the people there are watching me and already have their phones out recording me. I instantly get uncomfortable and want to leave as quickly as possible. An audience is one thing, but being recorded my multiple people will instantly make me feel anxious.

  Her: "Well go on, sing!"

  Me: "No really, i'm a terrible singer, i'm sure I will ruin your christmas!" (christmas is still several weeks away, I have no idea why they wanted a christmas carol so bad)

  Her: "OH COME ON. I'll make it worth your while" She said as she waved a 20 and a 5 in front of me.

  I continued to insist on being a terrible singer and not being comfortable with it, but she kept pushing. Eventually I decided to try my corny line and hoped it would satisy them.

  So I just said "Okay, how about, rub-a-dub-dub I brought you some grub!" Which was corny as f*ck and holy hell so cringey to say and made me feel infinitely more uncomfortable.

  Obviously no one laughed, and she went "No, it has to be a christmas carol!"

  I insisted more about not wanting to sing and was starting to get seriously pissed off and uncomfortable that she wasn't taking no for an answer, and she kept waving the money in front of my face to 'encourage' me, so finally I just said "Look, i'm sorry but i'm not going to sing for money."

  She looked at me incredulously for a second and went "Woooooooooowwwww It was only for fun you know. Well, you're definitely not getting this then," She said as she pulled the 20 away and only gave me the 5 and the receipt she had signed.

  I said thank you and quickly left, while I heard several comments behind me from everyone else like:

  "Wow, is he serious? What a dick" "Ugh, gross" (wtf this even means I have no idea. disgusted she didn't hear a christmas carol i guess) "Wow did he really have to make us feel so bad?"

  So yeah. It's just being pressured to sing which I guess should just be fun, but I've never felt so used and humiliated while working here. I legitimately feel ashamed to be working a minimum wage job now, and truly feel like i'm on the lowest rung of the ladder in society. I was just a tool for their entertainment that they thought would jump at the chance to make a fool of myself for an extra 20 bucks. I'm a pizza delivery driver, not a f*cking performer.
• (#14) YOU MUST TIP!

  Posted by u/Yawlyeet:

  Today I had a delivery to this guy that wanted his change when the total was $17.54 and he handed me $20.54. He did this twice to me in the span of 3 days and I walked away without saying anything to him. He then preceded to start yelling and saying I had a bad attitude and was saying why are you mad I asked for my change? Like do you expect me to say thank you after you didn’t give me a tip and did you expect someone with a good attitude when you didn’t give a tip? He said I had the bad attitude and I was all mad when he was yelling expletives at me while I walked away and said nothing. I will never understand his logic but I thought it was a good story to share.
