I'm OK with going inside I'm no stranger to danger. OK, what would you do if a customer asks you inside? Would you pull your car through the drive-through at Taco Bell? For one, I don't like pepperoni.Īnother hypothetical: You're making deliveries and starving to death. Then what are we having this conversation for?! So would you ever snitch a bite of a customer's food? A pizza delivery guy was recently caught on camera eating pepperoni off a customer's pizza. I have gotten a bunch of tickets, though. ![]() The moral of the story is to always carry extra cobbler. But even if I got the ticket, I'd tell the guy he's doing his job and give him that extra cobbler on the house. How about telling the cop you just might have some extra cobbler in the back? You know what that excuse will get you? One big, fat ticket. I'd say I'm past the promised delivery time, and if I get a ticket, I'm also gonna have to pay for the delivery. But what would be your excuse if you got pulled over while delivering? Yeah, we're going all of 35 miles per hour. I should've kept smiling-that's the secret to good tips, you know. It's too hot to be giving people a hard time. Yeah, I said, "Aren't you too old to be a bicycle-repair guy?" I hope that doesn't get back to Miss Robbie-my delivery career with Sweetie Pie's might be short lived. That guy in the bicycle shop had the nerve to ask me if I wasn't too old to be a delivery guy. That's why I'm doing all of your delivery work today-I'm getting good tips.īut I'm taking all the tips today. That, and mac and cheese.ĭo people tip you or think “Nah, he’s a TV star and doesn’t need the money”?

If I see a full parking lot, I fill it with flyers. I've been doing that on my Facebook, on Twitter, and I always have flyers with me. It helps if I get out of the store to take a delivery. Recently, yes, we're getting along pretty well. Then you'll have to answer to Miss Robbie. You go out too far, and you won't be delivering hot food. If delivery gets big, it will be a full-time job just managing that.ĭid you draw like a five-mile ring around the store to determine the delivery area? If I do well with that, anything can happen. If I ever have a restaurant, it'd be easier under Sweetie Pies' name. Have you ever thought of owning your own place? I hope that will happen, but I don't know how close to reality that is. I don't have it all planned out, but as long as we open up new avenues and I stay occupied, I plan to stay with it.ĭo you see yourself owning a Sweetie Pie's someday?

But half the time they're asking for peach cobbler before I'm even offering. On the phone, do you ever upsell, pushing items like the cobbler? But when I'm not doing that, I answer the phones and I take the orders. How often do you actually make the deliveries? Then I served, washed dishes, worked the register, and eventually started cooking. I started off handing out peppermints and packing to-go orders. How involved were you with Sweetie Pie's before you came up with this delivery idea? I'll see what I can do, but the Neon's overheating already.Īnd where's the radio?
