  • The customer is always right about the delivery address even when he is wrong

    So I work as a courier for a local furniture and hardware supplier. Most of the time it is pretty chill but occasionally you get that one customer who thinks being a j is a personality trait. Last
  • Thursday i had a delivery for a guy who ordered a bunch of heavy outdoor decking material. The address on the invoice was for an old industrial park on the edge of town
  • that is mostly abandoned warehouses and empty lots. I called him when i was about ten minutes out just to confirm where
  • exactly he wanted the pallet dropped because the GPS was pointing to a literally gated off gravel pit. The second he picked up he started screaming. He told me

  • that i am paid to drive not to ask stupid questions and that the address in the system is there for a reason. I tried to explain that it looks
  • like a construction site or an old dump but he cut me off and said he is a busy man and doesnt have time to hold my hand. He literally told me
  • and i quote just put it exactly where the paperwork says and stop bothering me or i will call your manager.
  • Alright then. I am a man of my word. I drove to the exact coordinates on the shipping manifest. It was a rusted gate in front of a completely empty dirt lot with a sign
  • Warehouse worker loading a pallet of heavy wood.
  • that said private property keep out. There was nobody there and no building in sight. I checked my paperwork again and the address was 100 percent correct according to the system.
  • I unloaded the entire pallet of high end cedar decking right there in the dirt leaned it against the fence and took a photo for the delivery confirmation.
  • About three hours later my boss calls me into the office. Apparently the guy meant to put in his home address which was on the other side of the city but he had used
  • his old business billing address by mistake. He was livid because when he finally drove out there to check most of the wood had already been
  • picked over by people driving by or was just sitting in the mud. He tried to claim i should have known it was a mistake. My boss just
  • pulled up the recorded call where the guy told me to stop asking questions and put it exactly where the paperwork said. The guy
  • had to pay for a whole new order because he signed off on the delivery terms. He didnt say a word when i saw him at the warehouse later to pick up the new stuff himself.
  • Otaku Mage Perfect! And good cedar ain't cheap. Doubt it'll change that jok's attitude at all, though.
  • sevenumbre... This is the kind of MC I love to see. You DID know it was a mistake, but he was being a j so he had to eat the consequences. Perfect.
  • Unasked_fo... Glad you were able to CYA because sounds the type to lie about it and throw you under the bus.
