The Confessions Thread

[ChetMagongalo]

So I deliver pizza, been doing so many years. eventually I got tired of assholes or ignorant people not tipping me which makes me mad on many levels, and I honestly think a lot of people just straight up don't think about tipping or forgot to, after all most people who order pizza are lazy or hungover etc. anyways I often will write in a tip for myself on the receipt if I think I can get away with it. I give myself usually 2 or 3 a tip which is average in my area. Over a long period of time, it adds up to a lot of money, I've done this probably hundreds of times. maybe I should feel bad but I feel like any rational and sane person would have given me the same tip or better if they were able to have my perspective and knowledge. I wonder how common this is and how many people have done the same. obviously I can't do it if people just keep their receipt or mark out the lines on the tip spots with pen (the people who are actually poor tend to do this) or pay in cash.

[D.o.S.]

I've noticed more and more places have been adding the option to tip a given amount when you order delivery online, which is tremendous because it means I can just do it without having money around.

Every time I use the bathroom at work I'll say in my best "Telemundo" announcer voice (in spanish) "in a world without borders we need a president without pants, president Bill Clinton!"

[D.o.S.]

I'm pretty sure you've confessed this twice. But I will let you know it is spreading.

[snipelfritz]

I like it a lot. I wish I knew Spanish just so I could say things in a sexy, sexy extra deep voice.

I let people bullshit me at work because I honestly have no energy to deal with the confrontation that would arise if I called them out for not doing their job.
I shouldn't have let it happen the first time, but now it's just rampant and although it pisses me off, my expectations are so low it's fast becoming the norm.
In some ways it's entertaining just listening to the inane and utterly retarded shit these fuckwads will drivel and think they're getting one over me with their shit eating grins and "totes lols" approach to life.
Meanwhile I'm just flat as roadkill replying with "uh huh" and staring through the hole where their souls should be and laughing my ass off inside.
They win though, because I let them get away with it.
I'd like to think in the long run I'm actually doing them a disservice by letting their egos run rampant and subtly reinforce their totally and genuinely poor attempts at lying so that they just get slaughtered for it at every workplace they move on to.

Oh Christ on a cob, I need a new job.

[Iommic Pope]

Addendum: it also eats away at my workplace from within, which will affect my awful boss eventually so there's that.

It only just occurred to me that I kind of like U2.

As long as it's U2 from the 90's we won't have to burn you at the stake.



So I'm a super insecure person and I confess that when people compliment me, I get even more insecure. My brain is wired wrong I think.

[Achtane]

Word, IP. Word.
If I could get away with it, I would burn my employer down.

[D.o.S.]

so I finally got around to taking kbit's advice (and others) and listened to some Tim Hecker.

Does not suck. Does not suck at all.

Yeah I was slangin expensive zas (we're talking from $25-30 for some 16" pizzas) from last May to this past October, wish I would have done what you did sometimes. I worked day shifts which were awesome because you could make $100 in tips in like three deliveries. But when you haul 30 large pizzas (weighing about 80-100lbs) up two flights of stairs because the elevator is broken and get stiffed on the tip, it just ruins your day. You can't write in a tip either as businesses, schools and hospitals are pretty tight with there money and will notice.

Oh an at least in my neck of the woods, if you want your pizza faster, don't pre-tip. If you're taking multiple deliveries (pretty much the norm for the place I worked) each run, guess who gets their pizza faster. The person who has yet to write the tip, or the person who already guaranteed you a set amount of money?



Yeah I know this conversation is old but I'm sitting in the office with half hour left of my work day and I'm bored as hell.

Wait, you just listened to Tim Hecker? It's so good!

[D.o.S.]

Its pretty good stuff, yeah. the name has been on my radar for a long time I just never got around to listening to it.
