Quoth Racket_Man View Post...then she says something that I consider kinda dumb. "WELL I have 5 HUNGRY GRANDKIDS here and they need to be fed".I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth MaseMan View PostYeah, that's why a lot of delivery drivers carry handguns, too.
most delivery places have rules against weapons on your person OR in your vehicle.I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

Quoth MaseMan View PostYeah, that's why a lot of delivery drivers carry handguns, too.Quoth Racket_Man View PostI hate to disagree but that statement is not really true. most delivery places expressly forbid drivers from carrying any sort of weapons ie, knives, pepper spray, tear gas, batons, brass knuckles, tools, any kind of firearms or any other sort of object that can be determined to be a weapon. and unless the state has a concealed carry law (with the appropreiate certification and permit) the driver is doing something highly illegal.

But we'd had a string of delivery driver murders, so I can't really blame the guy.
Quoth 42_42_42 View PostI don't understand the point of the larger bills in day to day life. I know there are certain circumstances where you might need to have a bill larger than a $20, but baring those few exceptions, why would you even get your money out of the bank in any denomination larger than a $20? Heck, the ATMs don't even give out anythign bigger. The only reason I can see for someone regularly carrying larger denominations is because it makes them feel important (and how pathetic is that?).

Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

Quoth Mytical View Post/offtopic
Just think I once had a job where after my shift I would have to go deposit cash in the bank for the owner. Sometimes I would be dropping 50000, no that is not a misprint, nor any extra zeroes. That was not counting credit card receipts, just the cash. Lol, sad thing is .. the majority was in ones...

I was so glad when they finally got an armored car service. As nice as it was to get out of the store for a little bit, I really didn't like carrying that much cash, especially by myself on occasion. (My parents weren't too thrilled with the idea, either.)
When I was in college I worked the weekend movies, and when I did the cash we had to take it to the student center and there was a lockbox we dropped the money bag into (through a slot in a locked door, as well). It was a tiny campus and I never felt less than safe there, but we still called campus security to escort us; if there were two of us they didn't have to come get us, but we still had to call and let them know that we weren't alone so they didn't worry about us.Last edited by BookstoreEscapee; 12-05-2010, 10:34 PM.I don't go in for ancient wisdom

"I have five hungry children here and no food in the house and am somehow incapable of buying any down at the shops and I need to feed them and your driver won't make change for my Krugerrands!"
"Ma'am, I have to inform you that if your living conditions deny your dependents access to food, I'll have no choice but to involve child protective services."

Quoth BookstoreEscapee View PostWhen I first started at the bookstore, someone had to go to the bank every day to make the previous day's deposit and pick up the change order. First time I ever went by myself (which was like the 2nd or 3rd time I went at all) I had over 12 grand.
AFAIK, they still don't use an armored car service.

one of my old navy coworkers told me how he got beat the F up while delivering pizza. and on top of that he'd specifically told the manager "I don't want to deliver to this location alone" but was told he had to.
if i remember correctly the franchise had to pay his medical bills because of that.

Since I was the receiving guy at the smaller store, I had to deliver fairly large deposits to the bank that was at the end of the parking lot. Most of the time I got a couple of people to go with me. Every time, though, I'd "forget" I had my scissors in my pocket and my knife on my belt. I'd been robbed at a previous job and I wasn't about to let them hurt me if I could help it.
It may have been a grandmother baby-sitting. I know my hubby's grandmother doesn't ever order pizza and would be completely lost when it came to portion sizes and what you can pay the driver. Maybe the parents expected her to order $80 worth of pizza and gave her the big bill to cover it."I'm starting to see a pattern in the men I date" - Miss Piggy, Muppet Treasure Island

I've heard far too many horror stories about delivery drivers getting targeted by thugs. I really think they should be allowed to carry weapons. Or hire karate experts / former military / former Hell's Angels to make deliveries.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth Gamegirl View PostI thought everyone knew that delivery drivers don't generally carry that much cash. I guess I was wrong!"I'm not smiling because I'm happy. I'm smiling because every time I blink your head explodes!"

Quoth Panacea View PostSounds to me like this lady does not have a checking account. She probably gets her paycheck cashed at a check cashing place, and gets her $$ in large bills.
Still doesn't excuse her EW behavior.Don't wanna; not gonna.

My cousin was a delivery driver, once he was paid with a $100 bill (was like 2 blocks from the pizza place though, and he's a big tough looking guy so people knew better than to mess with him.) The person was a shut-in and was babysitting, the parents gave them $100 as payment for babysitting and to buy dinner with. She had nothing else, so she gave my cousin the biggest tip he's ever gotten.Oh wook at teh widdle babeh dwaggin! How cyuuute babeh dwag-AAAAAAAUUUGGGHHHH! *nom*

The funny thing is that I had the opposite issue (posted on fratching) where I had a $42 order and a $50 and had planned on giving the driver an $8 tip just so I didn't have to cook.
Even if I wasn't going to tip (I always tip well FYI), paying with a single $50 wasn't going to damage his stock of change any more than paying with a pair of $20's and a $10.I never lost my faith in humanity. Can't lose what you never had right?
