So last night I was on my 2nd day at my new job after getting fired from Wallyworld for something I did not do and searching for work for a month. I am a delivery driver for now, but this job may only be temporary til I find something better.
Anyway, it was my 2nd night delivering, and I used my gps to drive to the address on the ticket. When I got there, the lights were off, and a pretty good sized dog was running around the front yard, who growled at me. But I stood my ground and walked up to the house. No answer. I call the number and the lady says she'll come down to the door. Before she can do this, another couple pull up in the driveway.
Couple: We didn't order any pizza.
Me: Is this your address?
Couple: Yes, but there must be some mistake. We didn't buy anything.
Me: Hmmm, that's strange. The gps took me to this address.
I call the number again and talk to the lady.
Lady: Oh, you're at the old address. We don't live there anymore.
Me:
If you give me your new address, I will punch in the coordinates on the gps and get there as quick as I can.
She does so, and I take off. I was so mad and frustrated as to how people could be so stupid, that I failed to remember something important. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw something sitting on the trunk of my car. THE PIZZA BAG WITH THE FOOD IN IT!!!
I quickly pull over and retrieve it. The bag is cold, but the food is still warm. Just when I thought things couldn't possibly get any worse, they did.
I lost the credit card slip when the couple at the other house pulled in the driveway, cuz I had pulled it out for them to sign and I guess I must've drooped it on the ground.
SIGH what else can go wrong?
I call the store, and my manager says for them to simply sign the ticket that goes with the credit card slips. They do so and give me a $5 tip. My manager understood that this was not my fault. The customer was probably an idiot, but not sucky, for failing to update their info when they moved. But they did give me a much better than average tip, and they accepted full responsibility for what happened so it was a happy ending for me.

I was fully expecting the SC to be all pissed off at you for their screw up.
