Another day at work...

by
Me: Hello. This is your delivery driver. The address in your order seems to be wrong, there is no building here.

Customer: Is the white gate.

Me: There is no building in the address I have on my app.

Customer: Are you at the gate?

Me: No. I can't find the building. The address is wrong.

Customer: Is the white gate.

Me: I'm sorry, I'm at the address on your order, there is no building here.

Customer: I don't see you. What color is your car?

Me: Ma'am, I haven't arrived to the building yet. I need the address.

Customer: Is the building with the white gate around.

Me: I'm sorry, there is no building here, the street ends here and there is some construction in the area. Could you confirm the address?

Customer: What car are you driving? I don't see it.

Me: Ma'am, I'm not at the gate because I haven't found the building yet. Could you confirm the address, please?

Customer: It's ----- (a different address than I have in the order)

Me: I'm sorry, that is not the address I have in my... (she hangs up)

I call again.

Me: This is your driver, I'm going to the new address you gave me, but it's a 6 mile difference from the one I have in my order. You'll have to wait a while until I get there, I'm sorry for the inconvenience...

Customer: Are you at the gate?

Me: No, I'm on my way.

Customer: I don't see you, what color is your car?

Me: Ma'am I'm not there yet, you'll have to give me some time to get there.

Customer: Is the white gate.

Me: I'm still on the expressway, I'll be there in 10 minutes.

------

I arrive at the address. No building with white gate there.

I call.

No answer.

I text.

I call.

I call again and leave a message.

No answer.

Second message.

No answer.

I have lost almost an hour on a delivery that was supposed to take 6 minutes.

I leave a third message explaining I will need to cancel the order.

I wait 10 more minutes and cancel the order.

I start returning home when the customer calls again.

Customer: Are you at the gate?

Me: I'm sorry I tried to contact you and could not reach you.

Customer: Is the building with the white gate around.

Me: I'm sorry, I could not find it. Could you confirm the address?

Customer: It's the building with the white gate on ------- (this time the address has one number different to the previous one, making the place fall one block further away)

Me: Wait for me, I'll be there in a moment.

Customer: Are you at the gate?

Me: Not yet, I'm on my way.

Customer: I don't see you, what color is your car?

Me: I'm not there yet. I'll be there in a moment.

Customer: Is the white gate.

I finally arrive to the building. The gate is not at the address she gave me either, but on the other side of the building, falling on a different street. This is the fourth address I have tried on this delivery.

Me: Ma'am, I'm at the gate now.

I wait another 5 minutes and she finally arrives at the gate. I deliver the package and drive away.

The gate around the building was black.

Are you sure this was not an elaborate prank by some tv show? One person couldn't be this stupid.

Actually, yes they can.

You could write a book about your customers xD And add illustrations in your style, maybe re-imagining it in a sci-fi environment.

I had the idea for years but never got to do it. Every time I try to give it shape I realize the stories are not really funny.

Reminds me of a theater ad I used to see before I stopped going to movies *.A teen and his girl arrive at the address they THOUGHT was the theater. Instead they find a week-choked vacant lot with a fence. The boy searches all over for ANY indication that there should be a THEATER there. A voice over says to check the address in the ad for the movie.


* I need closed captioning and movie theaters do not provide that. Also the admission cost is too high, and so is that for the popcorn. Also it does not help if only 2 other people are there,beside me.
