More stupid things customers say - Page 4 - Brown Cafe

I was approached by a customer while delivering in the SW (city is made up of NW, NE, SE, SW). The guy asked if I had his package so I asked where he lived. He gave me some address waaaaaay up in the northeast. I told him I wouldn't have it but another would and it would be delivered today if he had it.

He then looked at my diad and asked, 'well, can't you track my package from that?'

I felt like saying, 'Yes, we're that good we store a billion packages on one diad for the day just for this type of situation.' I bit my tongue instead and told him no.

My favorite is when they ask jokingly, 'is it a million dollars?' I always say, 'If it were a million dollars you wouldn't be getting the package and I'd be in Cuba.'

Driving peak helper jumps out I drive up the block customer screaming at helper that the truck is rolling away.

My favorite is when they ask me if I work for UPS. I actually told one lady (who looked at me for a bit before asking) no, that it was my own personal Halloween.

back when we were still on paper, was del a COD to an elderly woman. knocked on door and squatted down to sheet pkg. she opens door and all i see is her t-shirt with a big mustache across the front and "mustache rides $5" printed beneath. i lose it. totally. it takes about 20 seconds before i can choke out "i've got a COD for X amount to so and so. i can take a check. i'll wait." i really needed her to just go back inside. well she just stands there obviously wondering what is wrong with me. you could tell by the way she looked at me at that point that she had no idea. i had to say "ma'am, i hate to be pushy, but could you get that check please?" tears on my face and all. she said well ok, i'll be right back. looking at me like i was nuts. when she came back i had regained a little bit of composure but still had to bite my lip while saying thanks.

Oh, although this isn't something a customer said but what they DID. I got an oncall for a PU for 2000. At around 1930 I got there and the husband of the person who called it in answered the door. He looked at me kind of weird and I said, 'I'm here for the pickup?' He then rolled his eyes and I saw the box with the label on it in his hand. It was for Purilator. Apparently his wife called it in to just any company because we're all the same to her.

At the customer counter, someone actually came in and said "I'll take $5.00 worth of shipping."

This just proves you don't have to be smart to be rich. OCA to a upscale neighborhood ($3million + houses) " I am here for you pick up" Guy looks at me and says " Do you know what the boxes look like"

Filipina lady say's to me, "so your driving without doors'?

Eclipz · 08-23-2009, 03:25 PM

I'm really tempted sometimes to give a sarcastic comment when I come in for a package and THEY ASK YOU where THEY ARE SENDING it to. But I guess I'm not the only one who have these silly customers.

You know that little speaker in the upper right corner of the DIAD? Well, one driver was fooling a customer for a while by telling him it was a microphone and he must say his name twice loud and clear into it to complete the delivery.

Well, the original driver was not welcome in the business any more after a cover driver went for a delivery and got a good laugh after he saw the customer's efforts.

The customers responses "ok I did take a shower and you must have come during that time" " I only left for an hour at lunch" " I just went to drop the kids at school and pick them up" "it was the 3rd attempt and I didn't want it sent back"....can you call the 800# and tell them the truth!

Was wondering how long I'd have to read before I spotted this one. It's the most common complaint I hear: "I was here all day and the driver just snuck up and put the notice on the door." That's right ma'm. Our drivers just love to have to come back a 2nd day!. (Well, maybe, if you're really, really hot!)

Customers complaining about boxes being shipped in boxes that weren't carefully packed? The only problem i see was he was kinda slow, i probably wouldn't have even gone upstairs.
