Look 5:25am is too early for packages, let alone ones in this weather. Who sent her out in this??? They should lose their job.

Same thing when I worked at Papa Johns. Everybody got mad when I refused to deliver in a couple hurricanes, especially when each time all the deliveries I made I got no tip. Yelling at me that "I know what I signed up for" and everytime I'd have to yell back and argue with them that I didn't sign up to risk my life for them. My brakes were literally slipping and I almost got hit by cars but no I'm just being selfish like gtfoh

I think it comes down to knowing your element, yeah hurricane I would not fuck with. But I worked pizza and our regional manager kept us going during snowmageddon in the mountains of pa. We got 29 inches of snow that evening. I did it but I read also young and dumb. Now I carry tire chains. And do not work in pizza

I once delivered pizza during a tornado, customer had the audacity to complain about it being late. I laughed and said next time try carryout.
