    So I do delivery and just had a guy (white, gen x, parent) open the door, say "are you fucking kidding me?" and slam the door in my face. $80 order, no tip. I see the wife working at the PC through the window that his young kids are peering through, I shrugged at them and left.

    So, I had other orders to pick up that took a bit, so I get there 3 minutes late, or and hour and 3 minutes since the order was placed. This is not bad, and kind of common given in not anyone's personal driver and I often have a lot, and sometimes the kitchen takes awhile, which was all true this time. Literally thought he was joking when he started talking, like he was gonna break and be like nah jk it's cool! Cuz that would at least seem kinda normal?

    Idk, usually it's boomers waiting outside with crossed arms that get me, this was different and sucked. Trying to find out of it was a re-delivery or try to cut him off in the future because fuck him

      People see 40-60 minutes and think "oh good it'll be here in 30 minutes"

      I've definitely had orders take over an hour during peak times. I don't know what he expects the driver to do.

      The wife and kids might be afraid of the dad, and that's why they didn't say anything. Sorry for the bullshit. You didn't deserve it.

      I'd bet five bucks that the real issue wasn't you being three minutes late.

      But also, getting hangry is a real thing. Dude needs to manage his intake better.

      Oooh another fun one was when I was taking an order and the restaurant got a call and they stopped me to let me know that the customer had called because they were concerned as it was almost late

      It had 15 minutes on it :what-the-hell:

      I need to ask, do delivery apps have ratings that the drivers give the customers? I always hope that mine is OK.

        I work for a local company, so it's not a standard app based job. We don't have that option, and while I don't know about how others work I doubt it, unfortunately. If you're worried about your hypothetical score though you'd probably have a good one though
