Customers: How NOT to get your delivery

[oldngray]

How about Dish Network CALLTAGS in the hood! Talk about a pointless stop. 99% of these are either Not In, Not Ready, or they tell me "Oh, we're paying the bill tomorrow so we're keeping it". I had 8 of these damn tags yesterday. 8 NR1's. What a complete waste of time. I do like DR'ing the empty return boxes they ship. To me that's a stop that gets left no matter what. The house could be burned to the ground, DR FRONT DOOR. Cya package. Next!

1/3 of those go to vacant houses

Had a lady waiting on hair products one time. The genius decided to start her hair that day BEFORE I delivered the rest of the necessary product needed to complete the job. Problem was her bell was broken at her Apt Complex, so I left a delivery notice and left. She started calling the Center flipping out on the OMS girls, and then my center manager. After about the 30th call my center manager calls me and asks me to do him a favor and go back. He wasn't instructing me, but said "Can you please go back? This lady won't stop calling and cursing the girls out". OK, sure, no problem. He tells me that I need to walk down the left side of the building to the side steps, and knock on the first window to the right of the door because her bell was broken. I go back, knock on the window, and immediately hear "Finally motherfu*ker! I'll be right there you fu*ker!" Great, now I'm anticipating a screaming match, and I was correct. She opens the door and starts screaming at me. I calmly say "Ma'am, I was here earlier and rang your bell..." she cuts me off and screams "MY FU*KING BELL IS BROKEN!!!!!" "OK ma'am, now how am I suppose to know that? You didn't put a note on the front door telling anyone that your door was broken, so how would I or anyone else know?" "JUST GIVE ME MY FU*KING STUFF!" No problem. I hand her the box, and then the DIAD and tell her to sign. Soon as she finishes signing she throws the DIAD pen at me striking me just below the eye. I mean just below to where a centimeter more and I'm stabbed in the eye. I lost it. I started screaming at her and threatening to call the Police. I told her NEVER use my company again because she'll NEVER get another delivery from me. Ignorant POS almost put a hole in my eye because she was too fu*king stupid to leave a note on the front of her Apt Complex with instructions on how to reach her since her bell was broken and she knew it!

What a _unt....I would've called the police...filed a report. Thanksfully, I don't deal with customers at brown...but I once had an obese woman throw a bag of apples at me at a grocery store because her food stamp card wasn't working.

At least she was trying to eat healthier.

Probably lost all of them at the casino.

Potato chips? lol and no casinos in NY, sir.

Really, Upstate gambles with his job quite frequently.

Upstate lives near the border of Canada...there are casinos on the other side of the border, I would assume.

You really don't have a clue what you are talking about, do you?

The A in Queens is a racetrack...not a real casino. Short of that....name me a casino on Long Island. Oh wait, there isn't one.

With Atlantic City nearby you don't need one there.

AC.....pass. I'd rather go back to Las Vegas.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

The question was casinos in New York, not just on Long Island.

 

[Marne Vet]

AC's not a far drive, and we have a couple of casinos within 20 minutes of us in either way. Vegas though can't be beat! Love that place!

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

I went to the Jersey Shore a few years ago and we stopped at AC on the way back to NY. I was shocked at the dichotomy of the place. We stayed for about a half hour and I lost the $40 that I walked in with.

During peak I drive down this dead end road. Make the corner by the cop's house. He gives a friendly wave. Make the delivery at the end of the street and head back out. There is a guy standing in the middle of the road with his dogs. His hands are on his hips so I know that I am in for a confrontation.
I roll up along side him on the driver's side.
The gist of it was he felt that I was going too fast on HIS road, though there are a dozen other folks that live on that same road, including the cop.
I stated that I was going 24 mph. I just happen to check my speed periodically. He said it was 20mph on HIS road, though there is no where on that entire stretch of road that it is posted. Informing him of this fact only served to infuriate him more.
He wanted the name of my boss. I told him that I would be glad to call her for him and reached for my phone. No dice. That shut him down.
Needless to say that IF he EVER does get a delivery, he will suffer the very height of inconvenience before he procures his package.

Drove down a dusty dirt road 1 time, on the way to a pickup doing 25 in a 30 posted area. Drive by a couple standing in their yard hear kind of a yell after I pass, I go to the pick up and am thinking maybe the people had an ARS or a pick up for UPS. I decide I will drive back by to see if they needed me…….The man starts Immediately SCREAMING that I was speeding…..I said SIR( C-U-R) I was doing 25 EXACTLY….He says--like I said A-hole you were speeding…….I said its posted 30mph 100 feet in front of your house…His wife says…He's right babe. The guy starts screaming that I need to be more courteous then and stop kicking up dust……..As all this is going down a sheriff(passing by) stops in a cloud of dust and says…Is there a problem? The man literally turns and makes a BEE-LINE into his house. I tell the officer the man says you are UNCOURTEOUS …As I'm walking back to the truck the officer says ….That guy is an A**HOLE--(customer)

I had the cops called on me for not giving the customer a package that had a delivery intercept RTS on it. Customer printed out my choice tracking sheet and put "Do not RTS Shipment" in the user defined description field. Then she started yelling at the cop because he sided with me. Got to love the customers.
