i get it's a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.

and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i've seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i'm just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it's a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.

Damn yo, have some sympathy for the working man. You act like delivery drivers have a boss these days, it's all gig work; neither the drivers nor UberEats gives a shit about your customer satisfaction.

#1: They probably should as customer satisfaction is a huge part of any business involving customers.

#2: I'm not necessarily talking about UberEats, I stopped using their services during the pandemic when a $15 meal magically turned into $43 by virtue of pure unadulterated magic. This is a problem that occurs even with in house delivery people who I assure you very much have a boss.

#3: I don't care if anybody involved doesn't give a shit about my customer satisfaction. I care about people doing their job. I don't get to hang up on people who call me for help on the phones when their being twats because part of my job is handling those twats. If part of your job is delivering food to a specified address, then do your job and deliver the food to the specified address. Failure to do so means you aren't doing your job lol.

I'm not going to debate what is and is not "doing your job," just asking you to empathize with someone who probably makes shit money and works like a dog to feed entitled brats.

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 32 points 1 year ago

I do empathize with them. I make shit money. I work like a dog to feed entitled brats (well I don't consider my kids entitled but lol..). But if I stopped doing the literal most basic functions of my employment then I'll be making no money, and not working like a dog to feed entitled brats, because I'd be fucking fired from that job.

If your job is to deliver anything from point A to point B, you need to take it from point A, to point B. Taking it from point A to point C is called "fucking up your job".

Have a good day.

I was a delivery driver. He’s 100% in the right. Delivery services have gotten so shit over the last few years where the drivers won’t even do the bare minimum of coming to the door

But it's the bosses demanding tight schedules not the delivery people. I don't feel bad for the bosses trying to squeeze every amount of productivity out of the system at the cost of the quality of service.
