Open Letter To An Obnoxious Customer

Ah, reminds me of the days of pizza delivery. Took an online order out one night only to have it thrown back in my face by the customer. Turns out the order was a re-make and over an hour late, and she had every right to be angry with us. But having the order thrown back at me was too much. I didn't say anything. I just got back in my truck and drove off a couple miles into the country, then took a ten minute Hephaestus break. Boy was I ticked!

Hephaestus... is that like a slang term for something? Google didn't spit anything out of interest...

If only our drivers would take 10 minute breaks...

Yea we had a guy who vanished after taking a delivery for about an hour, he came back and said he couldn't find the house and decided to eat the pizza.

We had another guy who to try and secure orders from potential customers would give away the food that was for other customers. Of course this guy couldn't take a pizza out of an oven to save his life.

Greek god of Fire. Here's what Wikipedia has on him:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus

I was referring to the fire and volcano aspects. Temper? Who, meee?

Luckily we didn't seem to have any bad drivers when I worked at that place. We did have a shift manager that was caught skimming off store profits, though. He was fired in a heartbeat.

OK I knew about the Greek God, I figured it was slang for a green leafy plant common in pizza shops... you know... uhh... "oregano"...

Ah okay, now I see why Google didn't come up with anything.
