[QUOTE="TheMachine, post: 3456420, member: 71623"] Absolutely, everyday and as a driver you must be assertive with this. It’s easy to be polite and wait but if you let them, they’ll have you there for ages. One thing that shocked me doing this job is just how drivers are treated, I thought people would be happy to receive their shipments but instead, especially at commercial stops, they are absolute c0cks with you 9/10. Do you want what you ordered or nah? I admittedly got sharp with a receptionist this morning. She sent me initially around the back so I said ok, doesn’t usually go there but I’ll play. The guys round the back sent me back to the front to which I said your receptionist sent me here. “Oh no she’s wrong those go to the front”. I said can we get it straight where you want delivery please, and bounced. Ok whatever, back to receptionist who proceeds to tell me they are wrong and I am under “strict” instructions not to receive packages. I said your taking this or I’m putting it back on the truck, she tried to answer but I cut her off and repeated the package will go back on the truck. Some other weapon ended up coming out to sign for it and apologized. People suck. [/QUOTE]
