'Where's my cheesecake?': Three nightmare Karens accuse delivery driver of being too slow, he claps back

'Where's my cheesecake?': Three nightmare Karens accuse delivery driver of being too slow, he claps back

This poor delivery driver had to deal with not one, not two, but three back-to-back entitled Karen customers who seemed determined to make his shift a living nightmare. We already have plenty of sympathy for having to deal with the average customer on a busy night of food deliveries, but this dude really dealt with the worst of the worst. Karen #1 kept complaining about her order being delayed. Karen #2 accused the delivery driver of stealing her cheesecake from IHOP, as if that were a desirabl…

Freight driver follows management's misguided orders resulting in excess overtime for everyone when they arrive to the depot late: 'The next day no one said a word'

Some managers insist that their workers would take any opportunity to slack off, and this attitude is especially pervasive in any industry where staff are frequently off-site and operating in a multi-site environment, like in delivery or maintenance scheduling. Meanwhile, these same managers are comfortable at their desks obsessing over this single point and trying to thwart their workers from slacking while achieving very little themselves. This cynical view prevents them from taking any feedb…

Top Fast Food Flops and Delivery Mishaps (July 25, 2024)

We've all had a poor experience with fast food at some point. When you get that late-night craving for a burger and fries, the last thing you want is to receive a half-eaten delivery, a major missing ingredient, or uncooked meat. Unfortunately, this is far more common than any of us would like to admit. When it does happen, we hopefully catch it before it's too late… you don't want to discover raw chicken after you bite into your nugget. If you're lucky enough to catch it early, you throw your…

'He's going to call the store manager and complain': 15 Pizza delivery workers share their worst tipping customer stories

After being stiffed on tips a few times, these pizza delivery drivers are fed up. There's an ongoing debate about tipping , and no one seems to know quite what the appropriate amount to tip is. It definitely depends on the service you're getting. That's why it's nice to tip a waiter who brings you your food and drinks, or a barista who makes a latte with a nice cinnamon heart on top. It seems like a good idea to tip pizza delivery folks, too. For one, pizza is usually a really cheap food, at le…

pizza parlor pizzas food delivery work pay price price-gouge epic malicious compliance reddit story

'Stakeholders want to bleed us dry? ...Ok': Pizza parlor gets price gouged by 40% by a food delivery company, then they use the company's deliveries as free advertising for far cheaper ‘in-house’ deals, scoring a slew of regulars as a result

While many of us are ashamed of what we would spend to have a minimum wage employee deliver takeout straight to our door during a summer thunderstorm, most of us will happily go online to feed ourselves out of convenience, spending far more for a pizza than any person should.

Client demands frequent updates about their truckload of onions, trucker maliciously complies: 'You want updates? I will give you all the updates'

When you get overly worked up about your job, it's important to remember it's just a job; it's not like someone's life is at stake or anything… Of course, this logic doesn't really apply if you're a Cardiothoracic surgeon in the middle of an operation because—well, someone's life is literally at stake. Other forms of employment with the same level of gravitas also need not heed this advice. Still, there's no use crying over cut onions—if you can help it… and there's no use getting overly worked…

10+ pizza delivery drivers share how their most bizarre customers got banned from the restaurant: 'His living space was a shrine of greasy cardboard'

It's remarkable how eerily similar some of these delivery tales are! Whether it's entitled customers getting frustrated about the silliest things (like not enough extra sauce) or teenagers trying to pull pranks or people getting a little too flirty with their delivery drivers, the ways in which customers can end up on a “No Delivery” list seem to fall into the same range of uncalled-for behavior. What's more surprising is how many people try to pull the same stunts over and over again and how c…

'I want my $7!': Guy shorts pizza delivery driver, driver prank calls him incessantly until he gets his money

Here's a friendly reminder to always count how much money they pay you before walking away.

Thankfully, he had this dude's number. Of course, the guy did not pick up his phone, which totally confirms that he shortchanged the delivery driver on purpose.

'He wanted to be the first one of the day': Entitled market owner delays trucker by 4 hours

This customer tried to get some petty payback on a company that he felt had wronged him. It didn't end well for him! Customers tend to fall into two groups when they've been wronged by an establishment. Let's say for example a customer buys a product, and it's faulty, and they try to return it. The store refuses and won't budge. The customer may get so irate that they declare, “I'm never coming back here ever again!” Here's where the two groups come into play: some of those people mean it, and…
