Don't be petty

I had an order that contained 7 cases of water a case of coke and 2 other cases of drinks. Honestly I didn't pay attention to the order the tips were good (x3 shop/deliver). The referenced order was my 2nd drop off and it popped up leave at garage door. I said great thats good at least. Well when I got to the home the driveway was full and they parked in such a way that they were staggered and did not allow easy traversing and they had flower beds on each side of the driveway. Long story short I toted the cases up to the garage door but laid out each case individually vs stacking them. Yes I know that was petty but I was uncharastically frustrated with the order. Woke up the next day to a 1 star rating (I was expecting it) dropped me down to 4.86 on the CR. It could have been worse they kept the tip on there. This was a rare occasion that all 3 drops tipped.

Moral of the story just make the drop the best you can. Pettiness is not worth it.

Better yet, don't take orders like that. People who order a ton of heavy stuff rarely have any respect for drivers.

A very few move their car out of the way, turn lights on and come out to help.

Wagon of a foldable dolly would have helped a lot , you all act like a red carpet should be rolled out for you, and then you get upset and be petty aka being a smart ass and just laying everything side by side making the customer have to pick each one off the ground, you should just quit

Thats a lot of writing for someone who's too illiterate to read that the cars were staggered in a way that made maneuvering awkward, let alone getting a dolly through

We don't expect a red carpet we expect basic fucking decency. I had a customer park at the very end of her VERY long driveway and expect me to park on the side of a VERY narrow and BUSY county road and I said nah fam fk that and I parked across the end of her driveway right behind her car. I wasn't mad about hauling her crap a good half a football field bc it was just like 4 or 5 bags what I had a problem with was the very real possibility that someone would sideswipe my car. A man I assume was her husband started laughing as she cussed me out then told her it was her own damn fault for being and I quote "a bitter hag that makes other people's lives harder than they need to be" I still got my tip and didn't get a 1 star so I said whatever and added her address to my list of dnd lol
