...and two I don’t wanna burn the route owner.

Tough tooties.

Back when I was qualifying I used to regularly cover the routes of two older guys. I don't know if they were walking backwards all day but I had no problem getting their routes done and getting back to the building long before they would have. Both of them came up to me and basically told me to slow the :censored2: down. I was trying to get a FT job and really couldn't care less that a newbie was making a 25 year veteran look bad.

As long as you are working safely and not pissing off the customers you have no reason to apologize for your pace while on road.
