Reply #14: I delivered for Papa John's Pizza for awhile [View All]

This woman called one day and was obviously in a shitty mood from the beginning. She was on hold for over a minute, which pissed her off. We no longer had the specialty crust she wanted, which REALLY pissed her off (as though that was within my control). She kept being a total asshole, snapping at me and being rude. Finally, at the end, I said, "That total comes to $16.19, ma'am." She said, "Try not to take a FUCKING hour to get it here, okay?"

I took a deep breath. I was ready to quit the shitty pizza job anyway, so I went for broke.

"LISTEN. I know where you live, and I'm about to MAKE YOUR CHILDREN THEIR DINNER and then be ALONE with YOUR CHILDREN'S food in MY CAR for a good TWENTY MINUTES. Are you sure you want to keep taking YOUR shitty day out on ME???"

Stunned silence.

A muffled apology.

A $8 tip.

Maybe she's not as stupid as I thought. It's still very stupid to piss off the pizza delivery guy/gal, but at least she got the point. LOL.
