Life Getting second job as Papa John's driver - Page 8

lcarus · 01-10-2012, 05:16 PM

I already work 8:30-5:30 at the job I've been at for 10 years. Need some extra cash so I got a job at Papa John's as a delivery driver from 6:30-midnight. I start this week. Anyone ever delivered pizzas? What kind of money will I be looking at? Does the job suck?

I once delivered a pizza to a dingy blonde girl (kind of hot) who was wearing a tye-dyed (sp?) Grateful Dead t-shirt and grey sweatpants. When she first opened the door, I could see her kid playing in the living room. She told me that she had to grab the money, so she closed the door and I stood there waiting for a while. When she opened the door again and handed me the money, her kid was no longer playing in the living room and her wardrobe had changed... she was now wearing a wife-beater (no bra) and a cut-off pair of long-johns (she didn't appear to be wearing anything under those either). It was kind of awkward. She was smiling at me and I just kind of stood there for about 30-45 seconds wondering what to do. I had a possessive girlfriend at the time who called me every 5 minutes and would freak out on me if I didn't answer the phone. Once I even caught her following me around town when I was delivering pizzas because she didn't think I was actually working. I ended up just thanking her for the $3 tip and walking back to my car....

You. ****ing. Pussy.

I wish I had some cool stories to tell from delivering but nothing special to note. I deliver in an affluent area and sometimes feel like I could finnagle some vagina out of these rich Windermere moms if I would just say "Hey, not to be rude or anything, but I was wondering if you wanted to **** real quick?". Of course this job is so easy so I would never risk it, but one of these days I just might.

No boss around you for most of the time, tax free tips plus minimum wage/hr, free pizza. Never got robbed but some of the delivers did...watch your back a little depending on what kind of neighborhood you are delivering in.

The thought of being robbed crossed my mind a couple times. There was only one time where I left a place feeling anxious because I thought it was possible that I could be robbed. I delivered a pizza to the "ghetto" area of Dubuque, IA (if that's what you want to call it). This African American dude answered the door and was like, "come in dawg." I took a couple steps in his place and the guy told me to set the pizzas on the chair that was directly to the right of where I was standing. I stood there waiting for him to give me the money and he was like, "you have some balls man." I asked, "oh yeah, why is that?" He replied, "because I can cap you right now if I wanted to." I was on the verge of having a panic attack, but somehow managed to blurt, "well, this is the Dubz man, so that $hit usually doesn't cross my mind." He then replied with, "well if you were from Memphis it would cross your mind. Ya see, I'm from Memphis, Tennesee. In Memphis, drivers like you wouldn't step into a place like this because it's a 50/50 chance they get capped." I replied with, "wow, I didn't realize Memphis was that rough, man." He chuckled to himself and said, "sheeee-it......Iowa." He just stared at me for a minute or so... none of us said anything. Finally he walked up to me, handed me some money and calmly said, "get yo ass out of here white boy." Before leaving I wanted to make sure he didn't short me...in which he didn't, he actually left me a $1 tip. When he saw me counting the money, he said, "what? It's all there! You think because I am a black man that I be short changin' you?! Shee-it, you be short changed as hell if I take that money pounch from you." I just replied with, "thank you for the tip and enjoy the pizza, dude." He said, "yeah." And that was that.

No offense bud, but that is kinda crazy.

Lol, join the ever-growing group of people (including myself) who have heard that story and called me a pussy for my lack of follow-through. In retrospect, I really didn't have much to lose... I didn't have any kids with my girlfriend... all I had to lose was a psycho/possessive girlfriend who I ended up breaking up with a year or so later anyways. I was lame in this one.

That crossed my mind afterwards.

Delivering pizzas has it's awkward moments as well.... I am unsure of what the rules are to link-dropping on here, but I wrote a story about getting this kid's handicapped mother's voice mixed up with a parrot when I delivered a pizza to them. http://ricoswaff.com/blog1/?p=1290 I felt like a bag of dix after that happened.

Did you grow up in Dubuque?

Any bets on whether I could last longer inside Kaley Cuoco than I will last at this job? I start next Thursday...

For the record, I think I could last inside Kaley for about 3 minutes.

Visual aid (just because):

I didn't grow up in Dubuque, but went to college at Loras (in Dubuque). Dubuque is a unique place.
