[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1685806, member: 52978"] I once delivered a very busy street, probably 4 or 5 lanes on each side plus a dedicated left turn in the middle. I delivered the odd side in the morning and the even side in the afternoon. I had a woman on the odd side who did upholstery work out of her house. She would get HUGE rolls of cotton batting, foam rubber and rolls of fabric as long as the inside of my PC, everyone of which was COD-CASH ONLY. She knew every delivery was coming and she knew the amount, but she never had the cash. She would beg me to swing back by in the afternoon and she'd have the correct change. I kept telling her no, and for a while, I stuck to my guns. Then I got tired of wrestling with these giant packages all afternoon and then getting them back the next day. One day I told her, look, I'll swing back this afternoon. You get change in the meantime. She agreed. You guessed it. She now expected me to do this every time I had stuff for her (3-4 times a week) I was sure glad to see her go out of business and move. No good deed goes unpunished. [/QUOTE]
