Pissed off a Door Dasher Monday Night…

Got home from work Monday. Immediately ordered for delivery from Target. Arrived without any issues. Now, Target uses Shipt. Basically, you place your order through Target.com, and the delivery driver will go to the store and shop the order for you. If there out of something, they’ll text you in real-time to find a sub. I’ve never had a problem with the serivce. In fact, I alway give a minimum of a 20% tip.

At the same time, I also ordered for a delivery from Wally World. They do delivery orders differently. When you place the order, it is ‘shopped’ by a store employee, and then staged for the delivery driver, usually DoorDash. They were booked up for deliveries (it was the Fourth, after all), so I booked it for the evening, between 9-10. At 9:15, I was notified that the driver was underway. At 9:39, the order was updated to indicate that it was delivered. It wasn’t. I went back to my computer, logged in and saw that it was indicating that it had already been delivered. So I left a one star rating reflecting non-delivery and cancelled my tip. Of course, it showed up right after I did this. Was I over-reacting? Possibly. But then again I had the same issue with UPS and my cell phone this spring. I guess it boils down to accountability. Don’t say that you’ve done the task until you’ve actually done it. If I pulled that stunt at work, it would not bode well for me.

So, I pissed off a Door Dasher. And don’t order same day delivery from Wally World.

Summer begins…

Summer began yesterday. In western Washington, Summer always begins the day after the Fourth. For some reason it always rains on the Fourth. We should sunny weather until the Hydroplane Races, where it will rain. Then, the sun will resume until the day before my birthday, as it always rains on my birthday. It will actually be several days of rainy weather, as not only will it be my birthday, but I will be on vacation as well, and it rains even worse when I have the day off….

Happy Anniversary. Kinda…

5 years ago I was fired. I’ve since moved on. Landed with my current employer (which btw I’ve spent more time at my current job than I spent at Home Depot). I’m not complaining about it anymore. Other than to say to my former co-workers that Pearl Harbor sucked…

‘Murica! F*ck Yeah!

Today is the Fourth. When we commemorate George Washington defeating Genghis Khan and Rodan. Most people tend to celebrate it by getting drunk and blowing themselves up. However, recent Supreme Court rulings have put a damper on it for some of us.  But I’ll save my comments on Abortion for later. Tonight, I’ll celebrate by watching the trained professionals blow themselves up on TV….
