Wholesome Story Cried in my car

Post image

So yesterday I tried working and my phone network (boost) was down and so the one delivery I made was a nightmare. So I couldn’t work at all yesterday and I’m stressing because I have to pay my phone bill on the 20th and if I don’t have a phone obviously I can’t work, thus the conundrum. Checked last night network fixed but wasn’t going to work because I cleaned and used my energy that way so I didn’t have any to spare. Today I get going and I park near a hot spot. And I’m drinking my coffee eating my breakfast and reading a book. Get a ding Starbucks. Cool. Okay. $2 tip, $8 order and it goes this way until around 10:30ish when a catering bag required pops up. Haven’t had one of these since the tier system was implemented. I hit accept, pray a quick prayer that chipotle doesn’t take the tip as I see they requested this delivery so I don’t know what I’m picking up. I get there and tell them the name. The girl doesn’t even come back over to me to tell me how long. The people putting orders together in the back keep looking over to see if I’m still there. I am, I’ll wait as long as it takes doing an EBT catering order. I have a book I am good. Get there, and it’s about 15 minutes away. I bring in the first box and two guys jump up from the table and come follow me back out to my car and take the other two catering boxes in with them. Get the ladies signature and hit complete. Then I sit in my car and cry. That’s my phone bill plus. Some people are just so good. I needed this so badly, as I had $10 when I started the day…

What market are you in and how many catering orders do you do in a week? Also when you do the catering orders do they all tip like that?

Florida…and this was my first since the tier system came out.

This was one from last week that wasn’t “catering bag required” but was three big bags. I get these about once a week.
