A few weeks ago, I was scheduled for 5 days but then was called in on one of my days off. The next day I asked to get off early, as a favor since I had done them one by coming in, because an electrician was coming in the morning to make sure everything was up to code. We had more than enough drivers (and they had even let one guy go home when he came in for his shift), but I was forced to stay until 3am. Sleep is overrated according to them.
Of course the next day I was exausted, and I had to work several more days, and there was another day where I had to work late and get up kinda early. It was the 6th day working, 2 days of 10 hour long shifts, and I had another 2 10 hour shifts before I got a day off and that would be 7 days in a row. They offered to send me home. Two employees whined about it, one said that he had worked 7 days in a row so they sent him home instead. Another employee was whining about going home too and he was the guy who they had sent home the day I wanted to get off early, so I stared cussing him out and arguing with him loudly. One of the other employees told me to tone it down so the customers wouldn't hear my profanity, but I was like "fuck the customers" and told the guy I was arguing with to go fuck himself... and then the manager sent me home and told me he'd call me in a few days.
Few days, my car's suspension rusted and broke, so I spent 3 days fixing it... when I got it fixed I came in and asked if I was still working. They told me they'd discuss it and possibly put me back on the schedule for next week, and call me when they did. They never called, so I came in another time, and they said they'd talk it over and call me yesterday or today. I haven't gotten any call and I haven't worked a day for 2 weeks.
But they haven't fired me officially yet. I'm still employed just not on the schedule.
Time to find a job, which will be hard.
Fuck that job anyway. I piss in their pizza. This would have never happened if those fuckers would have not overworked their employees, forcing us to work 7 days a fucking week, forcing some of us to work 10 hour shifts and double shifts and shit. Fuck that. If they fucking burn out their own employees they shouldn't be suprised if they quit or get fired all the time which is what's been happening. I don't think any of these fuckers know how to manage a business. Fuck them AND their non-tipping customers.
Also, they were shortchanging me on paychecks. I worked over 40 hours two weeks and only got payed for exactly 40 hours. When I asked they said they'd put it in the next paycheck and never did. Where's my fucking money.
tl;dr - Worked 45 hours - 6 days straight, got sent home one day, other employee that worked only haf week whined about it, I cussed out employee in front of customers, got sent home, managers won't fire me or put me on the schedule and keep making excuses. Also job is paying me for less hours than I'm working.
-
Why do you want that job back? There has to be something else you can do. Also why haven't you called and sent their drivers on all sorts of wild goose chases to shit town with fake pizza orders? REVENGE BITCH! CAN YOUUUU DIIIG ITT?!
-
Sue them for not paying you what they owe you!
-

Yup. A lawyer would prob take the case for free.
-
Yes but then he would take away 40% of what you would get, or something like that
-

10%, though he could sue for civil fines which would up his percentage.
-
Isn't there some Labor something or other you can call about not getting your wages?
-
And apparently I'm getting my job back. I think.
-
Well you should still have someone hop on a payphone and have those d bags send fake deliveries out.
-
He'd probably end up delivering them and then come here to complain about it.
-
I now know why they wanted me back, besides the fact that several drivers quit again.
What's this Sunday? The most important day to beer-guzzling middle aged insecure men who are obsessed with muscular guys bashing into each other?
The supperbowl of course. So of course, it's going to be the busiest day in the ENTIRE YEAR. Because everyone will be buying a pizza.
This may be my last post for a while, as they will probably work me 50 hours a week and then I have some school, so it'll be school/work/sleep. So I go disappear now.
-
Quit right before Superbowl Sunday.
Do it.
-
fuck yeah

So you're scheduled for work during a sport championship game you don't care about. Said game is assured to create a lot of business, which means more deliveries and more tips, the lifesblood of a delivery driver.
And you're complaining?
Fuck, when I delivered sandwiches as one of my many jobs to pay my way through college I was fucking thrilled when I was scheduled for a busy time. Slow days sucked, but busy ones meant you'd go home at the end of the night with a fat wad of cash in your pocket.
-
Dude, they haven't given you the rest of the money they owe you and still you labor like a mule? Go get a job at a competeing pizza place at least.
-
I agree with tom, you should quit before the superbowl!

You fail to realize two things:
1) It's almost a ghetto around here, no one tips worth shit.
2) Every customer's an asshole.
Yesterday I went through so much hell I just was about to tell the manager that I'd work in the building but I didn't want to do any more delivery.
See, when we get busy, we get BUSY. We'll have 8-9 drivers at once, but even with all those drivers during the insane friday-saturday-sundayonlyduringfootballseason days, orders regularly take an hour to over an hour to deliver.
And then customers bitch all the time. And 90% of the time it's black people who bitch. Why do you think I act so racist all the time. Fuckers think they're entitled to something because they're poor or because their greatgreatgreatgreat grandmother was a slave.
So this is how it goes down. I get to work, busy as fuck, next few deliveries are at 50 minutes. I drive to the house, they ask if I got lost, if I drive slow, where I was, if I was joyriding, taking my time, they ask if the food's cold, and even though there's still some warmth in the food they complain it's cold and whine and bitch and throw a fit and don't want to pay for all of it. And if they don't pay for all of it the remainder comes out of MY pocket.
I had one woman give me shit because her food was very late which wasn't even my fault, and then told me she was going to get me fired and then called my work and lied and told them I got an attitude with her and threw her pizza on the ground. I know where she lives, so she better watch it.
Another place this one tough 50cent looking fucker got mad at me because the phone lady got sassy with him, and chased me off his lawn along with his (dogfighting) pitbull telling me to "Get the fuck off my lawn nigga and don't ever come back again or I'll shoot yo ass."
So, Sam, how the fuck does this sound enjoyable? I'm about to stab the next customer that gets an attitude with me.
And yes, I am looking for something else.
-
I agree with tom, you should quit before the superbowl!
Tomorrow at 4-6pm, quit. DO IT!
-
Shut-up. Get a blog. Seriously. Like Sam would even take the time to read your whining.
-
How the fuck do you have to pay for pizza that they don't pay completely for? More importantly, why did you give them the pizza before they handed you the money? If the refuse the pizza entirely you don't have to pay do you? The box is either warm or its not. If they don't want it you saddle up and go to the next house. You shouldn't be there long enough to listen to any of their shit. Fucking go watch robocop and apply that to delivering pizza.
I would've had fun with that 50 cent fag. I'd bust out with Doctor Orpheus's voice while walking towards my car "Are you sure I may never return to your lovely abode? How can I go on living never being able to revisit this paradise! You wound my very soul!! Kill me now! But do so quickly! For I can not bear the pain!
Tomorrow at 4-6pm, quit. DO IT!

I said they don't WANT to pay for all of it, and if they didn't then I'd have to pay for the rest of it. I've had that happen where they've tried to pay for part of it and I told them they'd have to talk to management, I'd not accept anything more than payment in full, or their first born son. I've never had to pay for part of anyone's order.
I'm not employed there anymore.
I also have this strange desire to do a driveby past their store and shoot them all up.
This brand new manager has been giving me shit since he showed up. He complained I was too slow even though I have a rather sore toe now which means I tend to move rather carefully. The woman who lied and said I threw her food on the ground, she called this new manager and he yelled at me.
Tonight he told me I had to pay for all of a customer's order because it was late and cold even though that was their fault and not mine.
And then, when some people called up and said I had forgot their pop, when I remember giving them their pop and I knew the customer was lying and trying to get free food, he got into my face. He demanded I pay for their order right then and there. I told him I wasn't paying a single dime, and that the customer was lying and how dare he not trust his own employee. He literally got into my face and stood over me and said that I would give him the money or I was fired. I slammed my fist on the counter, told him that I had given the customer their pop, and if he didn't believe me he could go fuck himself.
I walked out and told them I'd contact the head managers tomorrow.
I hope they have fun tomorrow. I'm going to get drunk and have as much fun as I can since I'll be under a bridge in a month anyway.
-
You should've started filming him with your phone. If he was caught doing anything in a threatening manner I bet you could sue him. Are you even allowed to yell at your employees these days?
-
I wish I had a damn camera phone, I would have gotten that shit on camera.
-
go back and make him do it again!
-
So I got fired for real from that evil job, and my mother had already gone out and bought me a GPS navigation system. It has touch screen, voice navigation, and plays MP3s.
And the voice tells you if you're going the wrong way, or if you're speeding.
"Turn left at the next intersection. You turned right, you are going the wrong way. You are speeding, please slow down. You have run a red light, the police will be notified shortly. In Soviet Russia, light runs you!"
-
Man, I wouldn't have paid a damn cent on anyone's order. Screw that.
Having worked retail basically now for 2 years, I've come to this logical conclusion: Customers think they're entitled. They think they're entitled since they're paying the money, and thus the employee's should be waiting on them hand and foot. Most employee's are okay with this since they get paid and don't want to endanger their paycheck; me, I say fuck that.
I basically treat them like average people. I apparently have a reputation at work for being "rude in a manner we all want to be", which basically means I refuse to take shit from any customer at any time. I don't kiss their ass.
Example: Common occurences:
C: "Hey is it too late to sell back this book?'
Me: "Yep."
C: "Aww for real?"
Me: "Yep."
C: "There's nothing you can do?"
Me: "Nope. Buyback's over dude. Come back at the end of the semester."
C: "Such bullshit."
Me: "Nope. Should've come in sooner."
C: "What? You got no advertisements saying when it ends."
Me: "Yes we do. We hang them all over campus, and there's one on the door when you come in. Not our fault you didn't see them."
OR! One of my personal favorites!
C: "I'd like to return this book?"
Me: "Okay. I'll need the receipt."
C: "Oh...I don't have the receipt. Can you still do it?"
Me: "Nope. You need a receipt. Did you pay with a Credit Card?"
C: "No, cash."
Me: "Then there's really nothing we can do without the receipt."
C: "Are you serious?"
Me: "Like a heart attack."
C: "This is bullshit."
Me: "Maybe, but I can't do anything without a receipt. Next person in line?"
This does extend, also, to the managers/supervisors. I don't kiss their ass either, and I think it annoys one in particular though there's little she can do about it. She can't fire me. Good for you, D, for standing up to that manager. I hate managers who think they can bully around lower ranked employee's; that's the same thing this wench supervisor at work does, and she's learned that she can't do it to me. She can't stick me with a menial/stupid job meant to bully me, cause I call her on it.
D, I think you'll be able to get another job. Good luck with it though.

Well then since you seem to love delivery so much I'm sure another pizza place would love to have a driver with GPS.

Or he could just do at-home massages and give happy endings.

Then maybe he could trade the GPS in for a box of blindfolds.

Demand an extra $50 for the Special Ending?
And, I've been a waitress for over five years so I hate customers with a passion. People who eat in restaurants are the worse at thinking that they're entitled to getting whatever they want. I have a million fucking stories. My favorites are the people who complain after they eat everything and they looked at the bill. Hey, I checked on you like three times and you couldn't have said anything then? Fucking pay your bill and leave!

There's always gay phone sex, if you're a good actor. Really. Beats sitting around naked in one position in a drafty studio while scruffy art students immortalize one with charcoal pencils.

He means D has to pay to touch people not the other way around.

no worries.

LOL.
I had a feeling this MAY happen, but I thought there was a low chance of it.
They want me back again. They're still short drivers.
It's not that they're short drivers, it's that they're too stupid to realize that they have too wide a coverage area and too many customers for one store. Too much demand, not enough supply. A factory can only handle a certain capacity before it either needs to be expanded or another one has to be built. Business 101. Didn't these fags ever go to business school?
Hungry Howies also is desparate for drivers.
So this is what I'm going to do: Go back to my old job, apply at Howies, get the job at Howies, and then quit my old job. It's easier to get the new job if I'm still working at my old.
-
I say do it, and quit in the worst way possible, by not showing up for a shift.

OH SNAP! That would make them awfully sore!

Hehe, midgets delivering pizzas.

I would pay extra for a midget to deliver my Pizza.
I WOULD!

I would pay extra for 2 midgets delivering my pizza dressed as mario and luigi.
-
Mushroom Pizza?
-
of course
-
CASH!

Shit is sooo cash

Let's just hope Donkey Kong doesn't order a pizza.

That's why they called me in... another driver quit like that.. ha ha.
-
Make sure you don't take any shit from that new manager. In fact if he even looks at your wrong threaten to walk out. Haze the shit out of him.
"Jim, I'm a little busy over here could you go ahead and bring me a coke?"
-
I would pay extra for 2 midgets delivering my pizza dressed as mario and luigi.
What about two midgets, one stacked on top of another, posing as a full-heighted person? That'd be pretty sweet, too.
-
So did D quit?
-
Not yet.

If they're not dressed up as the mario bros. One would have to slide the other one across the floor on his face like this:

*is covered in escargot*
I'm feeeling depressed (and this is starting to sound like a blog :p).
I heard about yet another driver being robbed at gunpoint. We're not even a ghetto town, we're a small college town, population probably not even over 25000. And yet there's so many ghetto urban hoods and co-op townhouses.... It's gotten to the point where I feel like it's not IF I get robbed, but when.
So, maybe I really should get a different type of job. One that pays better. Security guards put themselves in similar danger, and they have health benefits and better salaries.

Of course it is. It always does coming from you. GO MAKE A FUCKING BLOG.

I have a blog.
You know, the McDonalds across the street from us was robbed one night while I was working. :O
-
And you said that THAT'S not a ghetto town? are you serious? doesn't get more ghetto than that
-
Some shit bags robbed the walgreens close to me. Complete with 80s style hostage situation and everything.

I was walking home from work one night and had this weird old dude ask if I wanted a ride. I ignored him and kept walking. He put his car back in gear and fucking floored it to get into the driveway I was crossing and almost hit me. Then he was all, "I'm a Jehovah's Witness! This is a really dangerous area of town, you should get in the car and let me give you a ride!" I shouted that he should leave me alone or I'd call the cops. It was directly across the street from a convenience store that always has cops stationed outside it, and none of them even looked over to see what was going on, so I just booked it the rest of the way home. Thankfully, I was only a block away (and I've moved to a better neighborhood since), but now I keep a knife in my purse at all times just in case someone gets too close.
-
Kary had a stalker guy (who I later scared off when I moved here), he wanted to buy her food at school (let me buy you lunch!) and she refused, then she was sitting at the bus stop and this white car skreeched to the stop, backed up and then it was him asking if he wanted a ride. We later saw him with some other girl, whom we assume he was stalking as well. I said loudly "That him?" He looked at me and ran.
It made me feel good. ^_^

So did you use your wind tunnel on him or what?

I'm a telemarketer.

Anyone here interested in a 6 day 5 night stay in a 4 star hotel in spectacular Orlando FL for 4 people?
But wait...that's not all!
You also get 3 days and 2 nights in Las Vegas Nevada! You stay right on the strip in he fabulous imperial palace hotel!
There is a modest registration fee of $389 and you'll have to stop by one of our timeshare welcome desks and take a short tour, but 389 for all of that hotel time is a steal! You can't even stay in a motel 6 for that cheap.
Did I mention we also throw in two 2day theme park passes for universal studios or Islands of adventure?
-
Actually, yes I am interested. Considering I have no money, why the hell not?
-
Cool! A shirtless Alan Thicke will be waiting in the pool to give you a personal welcome! ;)

That kinda sounds like what happened to me one month ago. Kinda. I was walking back home from the store and this guy in a nice car (he looked kinda nice too) slowed his car next to me (like i was walking and he made his car go as slow as I was going) and started to tell me how pretty i was, and that if i had a bf (my automatic answer was no, should have said yes now that i think about it) and he asked a couple more questions and then asked if I needed a drive and I said no thanks I live near here, then he left. Then this old guy that was behind me said "good choice".

I've never been to cancun. And now I wonder if I ever will...:(

Ew, Mexico.

I made $160 for talking on the phone for 6 hours.
-
If you did Gay Sex on the phone you'd probably make more. 1-900-Hard-Gay is hiring.
-
probably
-
Definately. Try 'Interactive Male', I see those commercials every night. Fucking Hillarious. I'd do it, but I'd laugh too much.
AND THEN... HAHAHAHAHA, I'D PUT IT IN.... BUWHAHAHAHAHAHA! SO FUCKING GAY!
-
We want to see you back here posting about how you made $320 for talking on the phone for ten hours. Remember, it's not gay if you're a top. Not that that's necessarily true, but just remember it.
-
They give you what for free? Theres no universal or islands of adventure down there is there?
Hmm no but they have amazing natural reserves/parks like Xel Ha and X'caret.

I thought that the rule was, it isn't gay unless the balls touch?
-
Why would my balls ever be near another pair?
-
Electroballatism?
-
Never even in that circumstance.

DP
-
If I am ever in bed with 2 other people, they're both women. No exceptions.
-
Put a piece of plastic in between. Like a sneeze-guard. Not gay!
-
Why would my balls ever be near another pair?
One in the ass, one in the hoohah?
-
That makes it sound like you're talking about his ass and hoohah, in which case this thread got weird. The world's a better place with a ball sneeze-guard.
-
With all this ball sneeze guard talk, I'm shocked no one has made a Tossin the Salad joke yet.
I think you guys are slipping in your old age.
-
You could've made one, old man.

This is the second time you mentioned this tossing the salad thing. (ooo I remember very well the first time you did). Do you like it??????
-
The 2nd time in like...the 9 years I've been coming to this place. Yep, must be a freudian thing.
But to answer your question. I love it!
-
nonono, the last time before this one was last year. ooo i remember it well for it was the first time i learned of the real meaning of such a mean combination of words
-
LOL! I was actually wondering if you knew for sure what it meant this time.

Unfortunately I do :razz: :P
