Oh so the one store we supply at work is reaching new levels of dumb... Maybe it will grant some lols, maybe not, either way spoilered for those that do no care XD
Today I have this phone call with our driver (because apperently they can't be bothered to call themselves) Them: Hey <me> did you remember to pack the cookies for <store>? Me: *thinks a sec because I'm human and do screw up sometimes* Yeh I did *But not this time* Them: Are you sure? They say they can't find them anywhere. Me: Did they check all the boxes? Them: They said they check them all but the 4 focaccia ones Me: *Palm hits the face* They only have 3 boxes of those today. Them: Oh... Bet thats where they are then
Last week their manager shows up at our back door randomly wanting to pick their stuff up an hour and half before it normally goes out. They say it's a bit of an emergency but I have to tell them it's not ready yet. (apperently they failed to realize stuff actually gets baked not pulled out of the freezer to thaw >.>) Him: Well if I come back in, what, 10 minutes you can have it ready right? Me: No, everythings not even ready yet... If you come back in 30minutes I should be able to get the stuff you need ready for then. Him: ok I'll be back then. So now I'm having to rearrange my schedual in a terribly inefficent way to make it work but I manage, it screws me a little bit time wise but I manage for the 30min mark. He shows up 25min after that 30min mark (so much for it being an emergency >.>) Me: So did you guys just kinda get called about it or come in early to find the early catering or something? Him: No we knew about it yesterday. Me: *I say in a joking tone* Next time make sure to fax it in or call us about it if you need us to have it ready early or you're on you own *I was not joking*
The week before that on the phone with their other manager... Them: We had faxed in yesterday for some extra stuff but seem to be missing it. Me: I didn't get a fax from you guys... Tell me what was on it and I'll see what I can do, faxer might not be working or something. Them: <Lists stuff> Me: *Face is in the palm half way through the list* Did you fax it in on one of <different store>'s request sheets? I have one from them thats exactly the same as that. Them: Yeh Yeh we did, we've done that before though and it's never been a problem though. Me: No it's not a problem just make sure you scratch out their name and put your's so I know it's yours and not theirs
The second one was understandable, the first and third ones less so but still I could see it happening and mistakes do happen... but things so simple shouldn't be slipping under there noses on a weekly basis XD As annoying as it is I'm kinda excited to see what they do to top it next week.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait......
