I think I am and I think they should ... The delivery trash's job is to bring me my pizza. AND, if I deem he/she didn't deliver it in a timely fashion, he/she gets one dollar, plus the change (I don't want to stiff anybody). If they do a good job, they get four dollars plus the change.

I definitely don't leave my doorway to get my food.
If one of them wants to try to beat me up, that's their own poor choice.

Thank you for making my point.

No need to slap yourself around, I was agreeing with you.


No wonder you did a mindless job for thirty years.

We have a veteran delivery guy of 30 years who ignores the evidence put forth before him regarding DD's ads (info he requested) as he clams this customer not only should have bowed to the lazy driver's demands but should tip this lazy driver. I can't believe more didn't call him out on that.
These posts are full of angry people who have been mistreated in some way by the public. I wouldn't spit in people's food, beat them, rob them, or shoot them down just for being a jerk. My life does not work that way. I would simply not deliver if it costs me too much money and effort to go to their door. Otherwise, I would deliver at their door. I've spent a good amount of my past working with customers and clients. They are not always right, but that does not give me the right to cause harm.

I fail to see what the point of continuing to debate it is.

I have tried explain from a delivery persons point of view, what went wrong here. The logic has gone over the head of most but not all here. Many here seem to think you are royalty, and every minimum wage worker should bow down to your every need. Well if it makes you feel good to think that, fine.

Many? Some, perhaps, but I doubt many. I think it says an awful lot that firstly you think a delivery driver going to an apartment door is unreasonable and consider it asking to be treated like royalty, and secondly that your generalization as to how people that disagree with your point of view must not understand it therefore are illogical, and apparently elitist.
I think most of us here probably realize that provoking someone who is already angry is not the best move, the argument is that this POS delivery driver had no reason to be angry in the first place. However you and your friend seem to continue the explanations and justifications for why he has every right to be angry at being asked to do his job, IE get out of the CAR, and go meet the guy at the very least.

It doesn’t help to call all delivery drivers trash. Where did that come from?

Cloudy continues to ignore the fact that many of us were delivery drivers.

Or we receive deliveries! So we were there either way...and agreed "trash' isn't necessary, or even accurate. they are treated as service workers who are supposed to be doing a service.

Cloudy continues to ignore many facts presented to him. But yeah referring to delivery people as trash is ridiculous.

At least three people here have a broken sarcasm detector. That, or they are way too serious.


I expect that from women, not men.

Expecting someone to do their job is not an unreasonable demand. How much they get paid is not relevant. If they don't want to perform the job they are being paid to do, then they need to find a new job.

Glad you don't work deliveries anymore if you consider it perfectly fine to tamper with a customer's food.
