[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1109835, member: 14668"] Years ago I delivered about 30-40 pieces per day to a large hardware store, part of a national chain. One day this place got a new manager who immediately laid people off and went on this big cost-cutting kick. Soon after that I showed up at the dock with my usual pile of packages, and the guy was standing there all puffed up and pompous with this big clipboard full of SKU numbers and a map of the store. He told me that the "new procedure" would be that I would read the SKU (its a code number of some sort) on each package and handtruck it to different aisles of the store according to a map he had painstakingly drawn up. I politely informed him that the [I]dock[/I] was the designated delivery point for all packages, and that I was[I] not[/I] responsible for distributing his stock throughout the store. He said he wouldnt sign for the packages until I had carted them around to the correct aisle in the store, so rather than arguing I just sheeted them as "refused" and started loading them all back into the package car. I was almost ready to drive away before he finally caved in and agreed to sign for them on the dock. I wasnt bluffing. [/QUOTE]
