Another example of SC time

[Racket_Man]

short one from yesterday. This happened to another driver

Driver attempts to deliver an order around 1pm (this time is important). Person at the given address did not order food. driver then calls the ordering party on his cell phone.

no answer and the driver leaves a voice message

The driver goes off shift around 3pm.

around 10pm (note the time please) the driver gets a call on his cell. He does not recognise the number and lets it go to voice mail. message is left.

It is the "customer" he tried to deliver to in the afternoon wanting to know where his pizza was.

The driver showed me his call log to make a point of showing me the time interval.

Now I know that sometimes things get a little hectic or you fall asleep or you loose track of time and most customers will call within some "reasonable" time period to inquire about their order, but even I can do the simple math -- 9 FRACKIN HOURS LATER ????????

the best one I ever had was 24 hours later. same situation except I got the right house/address AND the right phone number but no answer to pounding on the door and leaving several messages.

The guy called back the next night wondering why he did not get his order from the previous night.

and yes the dipshit got a FREE order.

Why would wait that long? Hell, I get impatient after just a few minutes. I'm always watching the clock like a hawk, ready to spring up to answer the door at a moment's notice. If I'm ordering pizza, I'm hungry, dammit!

wth?

Gotta say, when I first started on this site, lo those many years ago, I would often try to come up with some sort of reasonable explanation for some of these bizarre SC behaviors.

These are the kind of incidents that cured me of that. I think "Their minds just don't work the way humans' do," and I let it go.

Sounds like a scam, could be the sc called for pizza, hid on the delivery guy, then called later on to complain knowing he might get a free pizza.

Either way, wtf? lol

[sevendaysky]

Only thing I can think of is if it was one of those "time requested" deliveries, and he MEANT to put in 10 pm but put in 1 pm instead (because you know these people don't read anything) hence his call at 10 pm rather than 1.

I have had some fun ones, too..There was...

- The one who jumped in the shower after ordering...not right away so he'd be out in time, he waited a while, resulting in his being in the shower when I got there

- The one who left the house for a full-on grocery run AFTER ordering o_O

- The people at the ass-end of our delivery area, who called in the middle of rush hour along a major thoroughfare...We quoted them 45 minutes, I got there in 45 minutes on the dot (I double checked), and the person who answered (everyone else was in their cars) angrily snatched the boxes out of my hands, threw them on the table inside, and stormed off to his car, shouting about how they won't have time to eat because they're on the way to the opera! Wait...we said 45 minutes to deliver, and you placed the order even tho you had to LEAVE in 45 minutes...?! What, were ya gonna eat in the car?

- The one who left to take her baby for a stroll after we ordered (was close, we quoted a really short time), even though she knew that the one person left at home was her teenage son, who "doesn't answer the door". Not CAN'T, DOESN'T >_<

EricKei:

ahhh yes the "wonders" of food delivery and the SC time the "customers" keep. those are the most common ones

- the ones who think is is OK to "get busy" with their SO/fuck buddy/drug dealer/baby mama/whatever just after ordering and being given a relatively short delivery time quote. not fun to have the roomate have to bang on THEIR door to get the order delivered.

Were they by any chance ordering the pizzas with extra sausage?

[downforit2008]

How stupid does a customer have to be to be calling about his pizza after NINE FREAKING HOURS??? And why wasn't he home to get the pizza at 1 pm???

"Hey, I'll just go order pizza, then go out shopping and visiting friends for nine hours, and then get pissed because the pizza still isn't there by then and whine enough to get a free order!"

Customers make me sick these days. Grrr...

When I order pizza, I'm not going anywhere, at least not until after it comes.

But I usually phone in, if it's a place like the OP works, or swing by Little Squeezers and get one for $5.

Can't do the Dice anymore. Garlic nearly killed me last time. We can't be having that. The world needs me.

Yes blas, yes we do.

So you're saying you are now a vampire?
The pale skin, the hiding from the sun, it suddenly all makes sense.

[blas]

I'm sun tolerant, actually. Garlic for some reason makes me ungodly ill.

The world needs me.

Everybody sing with me...

What the world needs now, is blas, sweet blas
