LOOK ON MY FACE WHEN I FIND MY TIRE SLASHED: PRICELESS
If I Ever Catch The Asshole, I'm Going To Fuck Him Up On Site!
*ed
ok here's what happened, now I've calmed down a little.
I deliver pizza's, and I was the ONLY driver on tonight, and it was HECTIC! It was worse than any saturday I've done. I had a 3.5 hour shift tonight, I was expecting maybe 5 deliverys, and wash up a lot, but no!
I started at 5pm
then, at 6pm, work picked up, and I was in-and-out of the shop getting pizza's, it was quick. Then at 7pm, it's dark, it's raining (which SUCKS), and work is so fast, at the point I'm taking 3 pizza's at once. On the 2nd round of taking 3 pizza's, I went to my first one, which was a unit, I had trouble finding it at first, took over 5 minutes, but I did it. Then I went to find the 2nd one, which was a unit out the back, but I couldn't get there from where I was, I had to drive around to the highway. I park on the highway, and I look for it, because work is really, really busy, I'm an hour late, which is wayyyy beyond my fault, so I get there, and I ring...Ring...Ring.....No one there... So I rang the room below, number 18 (he was 19), she didn't speek english, so I rang number 20, explained the problem, they said they'll have a look, then I rang again, after 15 minutes, then they said "hello? if this is dominos, we don't want it anymore". Fine. Fuck you too, buddy.
Got back in my car, and I drive off to my bext delivery, I'm not too worryed about this guy, because that means I might get the pizza at the end of the night (both of them! And I did!). On the way there, I found it hard to control the car, as it was raining heavyly, I blamed me sliding on the road on the wet. Coming back from the last of the 3 in a row, I was going around a round-a-bout, and I lost control of my car, as my rear slid out to the left, and I slid out of control, and hit the gutter. I wasn't going too fast, about 20km/h, maybe slower, I got back to the shop, I parked out front, checked my tire, and It's flat.
I went in , and explained to the manager my problem, I rang mum, and she brought mu brother to change the tire, and I borrowed mum's car to finish my job. Because of this problem, I was over 40 minutes late for the other deliverys.
When I finished, the cops were out the front, they drove past, saw my brother changing a tire, and stoped.
So I get chatting to them at the end of my shift, and they inspected it, and it has a 4cm slash to it. Someone knifed my fucking tire!
I was also driving illegally, they had a little "talk" about that, but let me off without a warning cause I had a job to do.
So yeah...Next time your pizza's late, don't blame the driver.

I'm sorry to hear about the tire, and don't worry, i never blame the driver, i blame the dispatcher! Drivers are only human after all, and i always tip well.
Have a better day today!

haha, yeah, I wish.
I've filed a police report already, did it over the phone
My mate raised this point:
Why did they only slash one, when they could of known you had a spare?
...Which is a good point!

Punk kids with nothing better to do.
"Slash one and run before someone catches us!"
Little jerks... when i was a kid, if i did something like that, my Mom would kick my ass, my Dad would kick my ass, then i'd get the wooden spoon from Mom, the blet from my Dad, and i would be grounded until i turned 18.
Forget talking to your children, i was spanked as a child and i'm not a serial killer!
Anyways, sorry about the rant, i just REALLY DON'T LIKE VANDALS.

^ Very good point.
All I have to say is that sucks really bad. I hope they somehow catch whoever did it.

and work is so fast, at the point I'm taking 3 pizza's at once..
aw come on, 4 pizza's in one rush for me is on a moderate night like a tuesday or wednesday.
but I do agree, units and apartments are horrible for deliver drivers. If you live in one, do us a favor and give directions to your particular unit, townhome, apartment, whatever.

yeah! Especially when there are 6 OTHER UNITS AND NO ADDRESS
I had one delivery, I was sent to "carmel st", on the map in the store, carmet st didn't exist, so I didn't go.
Then we got a phone call over an hour later, turns out, it was "mt carmel", so I went there, and I was sent to 18. No one home, so I rang the shop, turns out someone wrote the "mt" over the '6' (16, not 18) on the docket, so I went to 16, WRONG HOUSE
Then I gave up after 20 minutes, and as I was getting in my car, someone called out from 14! She was blaiming ME for the problems, she was cursing, using words I dare not repeate, she nearly got me to call my manager, but I left quickly

I always wondered, how much do you tip the delivery dude? I usually tip $2. What is the usual amount ppl tip? And I would hate to be a delivery man, put miles on my car, that's a big bill itself to be beatin up
-Davo
09-09-2004, 07:05 AM
$2 for a tip is pretty good.
Normally, if a pizza is like 19.80, or what ever, they give me 20 bucks and say "keep the change", so I get about 20 cents tip.
I tip barmen (if I have enough shrapnel) about a dollar each glass

$2 kinda is average for me, more like nearing $3/delivery. i got like $20 one time (stupid teenage girls, or drunks at a party) Just smile and keep your hand open while they are handing you money!

its a standard at my pizza shop to copy down the phone # in case of these situations and to double check addresses.
as for tips, $2 is about average, a delivery driver will be pleased with it. However, I often receive $3-5. Sometimes someone will hand me a few singles with a $10 accidentally stuck in there. The best I've got would be a $132 order with a twenty for a tip.

Yea i can relate im 18 now, but back in the day if i did something like that it would be all over for me. Especially after the BELT.

Yeah.
People don't realise that the night they order, just also happens that 60 other people want pizza, and there are only like, 3 drivers working.

Did you by chance pinch your tire against the curb? That will slice it open too. My kid delivers chicken wings and stuff. Good money but it cost her a tranny this summer. money wasn't good enough!!
imtheoneandonlyD
09-25-2004, 09:27 PM
money isnt good enough? i would say for startin a job at 16 deilvering pizza if i worked everyday i would make about 350-400 in tips a weeks plus hourly wage. your kid must work for a pretty crappy place. Almost everyone i know that delivers food is happy with the money they make as a teen.

There were 2 stupid punks that went around my town that slashed the tires on a lot of cars and busted out the windows. I'm glad they were caught though. I know them and they both were very stupid. They said that they wanted to do something to get them in jail. I talked to their aunt and she said they were calling their dad crying and they wanted to go home. Crime doesn't pay, unless you want it too.

I agree... I'd kill them... I've got FU scratched on my hood, scratches all down the side, and no way to fix it. It's been there for about six months because I don't have $1,000. All that because some punk had a problem with me and decided that it was safer not to get in my face. It's even more dangerous to mess with my Slayer.

On a side note, be glad your car wasn't stolen...it happened to the guy that delivered us our last papa johns...his car got stolen from right outside the shop while he was getting our order.
