[QUOTE="dogoftheunderworld, post: 3754178, member: 1485"] All the years I delivered pizza and I can only think of a couple of stories that are barely interesting... Once, delivering to a new customer... for new customers (not in the computer), we always call and confirm the address, etc. so I go to the street and that address doesn't exist. I head back to the store (this was before cell phones were rampant) and call the customer. They give me the same address and confirm the location of the street. I go back... no such address. I find a pay phone, call again, they give me the same address. This time I ask for a description of there house. I go back down the street, find a house that look sabout right and make the delivery. They had given the wrong house number. :mad: \ Not mine, but a co-worker: When he worked on the not-so-nice side of town, he had a delivery to a bar. As he was pulling into the parking lot, two men come running out of the bar. Then a third man comes out of the bar and starts shooting at them with a handgun! He whips back out of the parking lot and goes back to the store. His only words "Couldn't find the address." (He transferred to a different store shorty after that.) On the receiving end... when Papa Johns first started making a splash, we lived outside there delivery area, so we went and picked up every week or so. Eventually, they put in a new store about 4 blocks from our house, so we immediatly start calling for delivery. The first time, the pizza ended up 3 hours late -- free pizza. The second time, 2-1/2 hrs late - free pizza, plus our next pizza free. The 3rd time (already free), about 3 hours late... I think we ate free pizza for about 2 months ;) While my wife was pregnant with our first child, she got turned off of Papa Johns, and we haven't been back since... Once I was paid with a plastic cup full of coins. I thought "yeah, that looks good". When I got home and counted it up, it was barely enough for the pie. After that, the customer had to count it up in front of me :) [/QUOTE]
