| 9:02 p.m.-2003-08-05 You know, every workplace has one...but in our case, our resident slacker is the delivery boy. I say 'boy' loosely. He's probably old enough to be my grandfather, and he is the most obnoxious p*thead on the planet. I say p*thead because that's only an assumption, what with the Greatful Dead and Yonder tshirts and too much tiedye, and the fact that he makes his living delivering prescriptions and plants for florists, when he's not going to the auction yard to buy junkers to clean up enough to resell at a highly inflated price. Now, mind you, he brings us donuts, and I never look a gift horse in the mouth, but god is he cantankerous. He thinks he's always right. If you tell him he's wrong, he'll have a half dozen asinine reasons he's not. He never shuts up, and he shmooozes tips and food from the customers. But the biggest problem I have with him is that if he doesn't want to do something, he just doesn't. No matter what promises we've made to our customers. We were supposed to have a piece of non-essential durable medical equiment delivered early this afternoon to an elderly lady. At 2 pm, the woman's daughter called to ask where the hell we were. Well, we didn't know she had expected it by /noon/, but we tried to call him to come get said equipment. No answer. Finally, we get ahold of him at 4 pm, and he flat out looked the owner in the face and said he wouldn't deliver the thing until tomorrow. The woman was going to be gone all day tomorrow, and the daughter started wanting her money back. Finally, he sullenly agreed to deliver the chair, but only after 6pm, and haughtily informed the owner that he would not do that again, that we had to make arrangements with him a week or more in advance to deliver anything but the usual small packages. This is a lot to ask from a small pharmacy that has a lot of its business because we DO deliver to the elderly at a reasonable rate. I swear, I wish I had a decent car, and I would do the deliveries in the latter part of the afternoon! Losers. There's one everywhere you look. I can't believe he gets like that with the guy that signs his paycheck. Sincerely, The Captain
