Yes you will run into them EVERY SINGLE DAY.
And if you are on the same route you will see them every single day.
Just be humble, wait for them to sign, and chalk it up to I will be making X number of dollars shortly and they will be making half or less. Makes it much easier.

I love this post, I myself dont do stops to fat people I only do stops to people who are good looking. LOL
I once had a customer call in a complaint on a sup. who was doing a ride along, he was rude to her and pretty much anyone else who he talked to.
It was funny they asked that he never come back to their store again, as best as I know he is not allowed to go to that store to this day.
I think you are getting ride today to find out if you are not good enough as a driver, but you may have a future in mgmt.

Times have changed.
When I was a rookie in the 80's a center manager actually said these words in a PCM to inspire the troops to work harder and faster.
"If you are not getting customer complaints, you are not doing your job right."
He lasted less than a year.

It is pointless to allow yourself to become angry with stupid people....because long after you have resolved your anger issues, they will still be stupid.
Something I learned after being on the same route for 17 years is that, like it or not, you are going to have to find away to deal with people that you dont like and dont agree with. Sometimes, that means apologizing even if you dont feel that you are in the wrong in order to smooth things so that you can continue doing your job.
You might consider stepping back and taking an honest look at your own behavior. The fact that you are obsessed with this persons obesity even though it is completely irrelevant to the situation tells me that perhaps you are letting some of your own biases and predjudices affect how you are dealing with this customer.

Or, a small projectile that travels at 2,100ft/per sec.
Lots of points covered already that I had considered but here's one more. When I drove some Sat air I found that some customers seemed disgusted. Finally occurred to me that I was new, didn't know their routine and was slower than their normal driver. Most people were nice but a few, probably those in a hurry or with personal problems, got a bit rude at times. So, as a new driver running various routes get used to people who are not as impressed with you as you are with yourself.

Very well stated Sober.
I am a "people" person, so I tend to get along with just about anybody. There have been a few customers than I dont really care for, but I still smile and be polite. We have all had someone complain about something. If there is anything in the complaint you can improve upon, do so, if not, dont give it anonther thought.
You said there have been "other issues" with this hotel. Were they with you or other drivers? If this customer complains alot, has the 800 number on speed dial, there won't be much to worry about. I can't see a customer calling in a complaint and demanding you not be allowed on the property again the first time they were offended. Just take a good, honest look at the situation. Yes, we are in a hurry, but not to the point to be rude to our customers.

I don't really like anybody!
BUT....... You can still be a professional at work. I smile and do the small talk with everyone. Many customers used to say, "Over, you're always so happy!". To which I would answer truthfully, "It's all an act!".
They didn't know I was serious....

Average IQ is 100. When surveyed, nearly everyone rates themselves as average or above. 49.999% are less than average and most of those with less than average IQ don't know it. In other words, many people think its the other people that are stupid when they are actually part of the same group.
Phew, I was worried More would beat me with the 37% reference!

Okay, you have me scratching my head.
30 airs?
Due by 12 ????
If air was due by 12 then 30 airs would B easy but they R not due by 12. They didn't give out a relaxed commit time yet.
I due agree though that we get to see some stupid people, but we also get to C some good people out there as well.
I have some stupid people stories and will post later of them.
