i get it’s a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.

and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i’ve seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i’m just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it’s a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.

    No wonder prices are increasing and people wages are not keeping up. These costs are transferred directly to consumer and there is no way around that.

      Inflation and low wages are caused by people asking door-to-door delivery drivers to actually deliver door-to-door? Guess I’ll go save the economy by hopping out my taxi before they actually get to the airport then to save those folks some time and gas and tamp down that pesky inflation!

      There is a way around that. Put their name and number on a list by the phone under “DO NOT SERVE” and hang up when they call.

      Some call those who deal with people like this saints, but I call them enablers.

        I suspect some people get put on a list. I know most business will go out of their way though to assist if someone is not mobile.
