The cell phone thread reminded me of technology we as a delivery place have to deal with
Dude get a better phone or a step to your right and put your hand on your hipst
Now my town has several places that are semi-dead zones for cell reception. my own house is one of those places. but all I have to do is move to another room or accross the room or go up to the 2d floor and BLAMO I gots decent reception.
had two or three call like the following last night
Cast:
PRPD = Poor Reception Phone Dude
me = GIVE me lots of adult refreshments PLEASE
<phone rings and I answer>
me - <standard phone greeting/opening spiel>
PRPD - delivery
me - OK. May I get your phone number please?
PRPD - %^&%&^ive *&**ur &$$$ ree <silence>
me - Hello???
PRDP - (&*%(**&&*$^&(*(**&(*** en &^&%%%six *&*&^%%^% ght
me - HELLO ???? SIR can your hear me?????
PRPD - HI
me - can I get your phone number please?????
PRPD - (^&*&*^*&^&*^ <silence> **&%^*&&&* <silence> )**&$%@##@#@
me - HEllo????
PRDP - HI.
me - Sir you phone is cutting out and I am unable to understand you. can you please repeat your phone number.
PRPD = (*(^&**(^*&^&^(*&^(*&^* <silence> (*)^%&%&^%&^%^&&^ <silence>
wash lather rinse and repeat 4 or 5 times JUST to get the guys phone number.
<finally get the order and confirm AND....>
me - your total is $25.83 (and I am dreading this next part) and will this be cash or credit????
PRPD - CREDIT
me - may I get your card number please <while really wanting to reach throught the phone and rip the guys tonsiles out>
PRPD _ (()*^&*&^*&^*^))(***&(*& <silence> 0(**&*%&&*&*&^&^ <silence> *&*%&*%^*&&^&^
me - I could not hear you. YOUR PHONE IS CUTTING OUT OR YOUR RECEPTION IS BAD. could you please repeat that card number
< again wash lather rinse and repeat.>
It literally took me 10 minutes to take and process a simple order.
LOOK how simple is this: IF I tell you your phone is cuttin ou, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and stop wasting my time.
This next one is in 2 parts
(Part 1) At least invest in some cheap rope Dude
I arrive at an apartment for a delivery. I knock on the door and wait. a guy answers. He tells me that the person who actually ordered is not here and he has no money (GROAN), but he will try and call her.
Guy whips out his phone and proceeds to look up a number and attempts to make a call. now while this is happening he is majorly staggering around. I spy many tall boy beer cans on the kitchen table. OK this guy has been slammin beer for a while now.
while he is trying to dial the phone he is staggering around the floor. Now at this point I will point out that he is one of these persons who wears saggy oversized pants. as he is staggering around ---- OPPPPSSSSS pants fall to around his knees. NOT something I really want to see. BUT THEN again he seems NOT to notice right away that his butt is hangin out. He continues to try and "call" the person who ordered.
He finally hikes up his pants and in his frustration he staggers over to the other side of the area. NOW he keeps running into the wall, backing away and running into the wall. still trying to make a call AND stagger around --- OPPPPSSSSSS --- there goes his pants again. FULL on MOONing. Up come the pants again
NOW I really need some in vast quantities with a side of hot pokers.
Continuing to try and make a call and further stagger around it happens again. QUE more
NOW all I want to to just gvet THE HELL AWAY.
It is now established that the person who orders can not be gotten a hold of and I tell him that if they want the order delivered to call the store and I beat a very reapid retreat.
DUDE Belts are your friend or at the very least go to the dollar store and get some rope.
(Part 2) Still searching
Now I have experienced people who will search their couch for change but this takes the cake.
As I am exiting the building a car pulls into the parking lot. 2 women emerge from the car. One asks if I am delivering to 1234 X St Apt. 4. Yes I am. Well that is us. the first woman pulls out some money and turns to the other. the second woman exits the car but stops.
I Can't find my MONEY!!!!!!!!
Cue 2d woman frantically searching the whole of the car for the next 5 minutes. The first woman hands me EXACT change and I give her the order AND boggie out of there.
I WANT BACK THAT 10 MINUTES OF WASTED TIME
