What's up with the diapers and dog food offered at Amazon? Is it really so much cheaper that our customers consistently buy them at Amazon? I ask this because I was on a baseline Friday that did 81 miles with the 1st stop being less than .25 miles from the building so if you miss something its many miles back to deliver the one or two you can't find while your at that stop. Anyway, it was Friday and I wanted to go home but the preloader loaded a parcel on the opposite shelf and I found it when I was 2 miles way from the stop.
It was from Amazon and it was a NDA saver. It was a box of diapers. I'm thinking to myself its 1850 on a Friday and all I want to do is go home. I just wanted to sheet it as missed. However, I started thinking that this woman requested NDA saver delivery for a reason and I'm thinking her infant was going to run out of diapers during the weekend so the guilt got the better of me and I went and delivered it. With all the traffic and stop lights it took me about 30 minutes to complete the stop but my mind was clear of all guilt after this.
Sure enough, I was questioned on Monday as to why I punched out at 1940 when my sup. was looking at the computer at 1830 and I had 5 stops left. Even when you question yourself about doing the right thing or not, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. After this, I'm thinking its just going to be sheeted as missed unless it looks like it might be important to someone.
Normally, if it was just diapers with a ground label, I wouldn't have thought twice about sheeting it as missed. But, this woman paid for NDA saver delivery for her diapers for a reason and thought I needed to get them delivered so her baby could expel all weekend and she wouldn't need to run out and pay extra at CVS for diapers after she already paid a premium for the day-definite delivery.
Still, what's up with NDA delivery of diapers, lol? What is our society coming to? Can you imagine going back in time to 1945 Berlin with the Soviets surrounding the city and telling those poor citizens with no food, water, heat, or electricity that a woman called and whined and complained that she didn't get her baby's diapers on the desired day? Or her DVD that she ordered? Or she called and complained to say the driver didn't ring the bell with her new IPad? Its pretty pathetic were people's priorities are these days. No?
