work notes

So, my workplace has two locations, about 20-30 minutes apart, depending on the traffic. Most people actually work at the newer location, but customer service (that’s me!) are still at the original site, and we’re the ones who answer the phone when people call.

Which is a long way of leading up to my phone ringing one minute before I clocked out for the day, and having it be a delivery guy. He was delivering some food, and was hoping I could come open the door. I said, “You’re outside right now? At [our address]?”

“No,” he said. “I’m at [other address]. All I need is for someone to come get this food.”

He was quite insistent that he was at the right address, which of course wasn’t my point at all when I was trying to explain why I couldn’t help him. Eventually I said, “I would love to come open the door for you, but I’m not in the building!”

That seemed to get through, and then he wanted me to connect him to someone who WAS in the building, which of course I wanted to do, but the extension he told me he’d been given wasn’t an active line, and at that point I was honestly getting a little suspicious, and that’s when someone finally came to the door over at the other location.

True fact of the day: got extra pay for staying past my end of shift, waiting on the phone with a pizza delivery guy.
