yet another pizza rant
Jan. 27th, 2004 09:34 pmSo due to the fabulous ice storm that hit on Sunday, most of our workers (including the head manager herself) have been unable to make it in. So Sunday I went in a bit early (but we closed early so it worked), Monday I was too sick to work, and today (still sick) I had to pull a ten hour shift. Seven of those hours were spent at landing. I wanted to kill someone.
And someone explain something to me: We haven't been delivering b/c the roads are in bad shape, I think my mother told me there were 700 accident alone in one day in the Triangle area (Raleigh-Durham area). So we don't deliver. People get pissed about this. Why? Because they don't want to endanger their own lives & cars to come pick their damned food up. But they're perfectly content with having some stranger risk his own self to bring their damned food to them. Am I wrong to be annoyed about this???
So that was my wasted day. Those of you that work ten hours regularly I have newfound respect for. I only ever have to deal with it in bad weather, I can't imagine having to do it all the freakin' time. Props to you.
