itt harrowing pizza stories

[paradise!]

[QUOTE=Jerome Scuggs;732459]Two months after I started working there, I had a pretty normal delivery - a few personal pizzas and their drinks/salads/breadsticks/etc) for some nurses, on the 4th floor of the main building. I walked in through the main entrance, and as I walked through the lobby to get to main hallway, a few cops stopped me. I did the quick mental check - doilookhighwhatdididoisthislegal? - but they just told me to "hold on for a second". Still kinda confused, I stood there... and down the hall, the elevator opened and a bunch of doctors/surgeons were running with a patient on a surgical bed. He looked kinda fucked up physically, not bleeding but... i dunno, I didn't look to long because I looked away, but I do remember he had a beerbelly. They were coming from the elevator (there's a heli pad) to the ER, I think. I just remember his belly start to contract, and I heard the flatline, and then he sort of stopped moving, and then they were through the door. I have no idea if he survived. [QUOTE]

I wouldn't have came back after i saw the flatline thing. That's just...fucked up.

IMO, having to tell those crippled patients that the pizza's aren't for them would probably be the most depressing thing for them. This in combination with the flatlining, and the burn victims, leads me to conclude that you shouldn't go back there, no matter how good they tip.

I do alot of hospital deliveries, which has its ups and downs. It's almost always a hassle for some reason. Sometimes, 5 people order and i have to wait while all 5 are found, which takes up my time. Sometimes the person who paid for the order by credit card won't be there, and someone else will sign for it, and leave no tip. Sometimes we get a rush call for like 10 pizzas in half an hour.

There are three I usually go to. One is the VA hospital, which is pretty ghetto. I really don't have a problem with them, most of the people who order meet me at the entrance. There's a private hospital, Christus Schumpert - and it's a fucking maze. I've literally spent half an hour trying to leave, walking around.

Then there's a... medical university/hospital? I dunno, it's the LSU Health and Sciences center. It's a public hospital, attached to a medical school. This place is the fucking worst. For one, it's HUGE. There are like 3 buildings with and a few entrances. Pharmaceutical reps are often calling (in advance) to make orders of like 20-30 pizzas. Like, where I have to go to and from the store multiple times... and get tipped like five bucks. At least they dont call an hour beforehand and ask for that sort of thing.

I just remember his belly start to contract, and I heard the flatline, and then he sort of stopped moving, and then they were through the door. I have no idea if he survived.

Sometime after that, I was doing another delivery at LSUHC. (I deliver pizzas to that place everytime i work, it's just a matter of who.) For awhile I would get pretty freaked walking in there, but that sort of thing isn't the norm, I guess, because I've never encountered something like that again... except on this particular day. The public elevators are right across the hall from the service elevators. To cut to the chase, I got to not see what the dude looked like because I heard his screams like 10 seconds before the elevator door opened. Jesus fucking christ. I just remember hearing a few shouted words by the staff and it was obviously a burn victim.

I dunno, the thing is I often get sweeet tips from doctors, so it's sort of like gambling. I love going there. The phone rings ten minutes before we're about to close up for the night, i hear "hey do you want to take this delivery?" and i have to run the odds in my head - will I make money? will I not? will i watch someone die?" and sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't.

the VA hospital sucks though, because there's no gambling there. there are always severely crippled dudes asking if the pizza is for them, haha, and wtf am i supposed to do there? everytime i go the odds of seeing something that sucks is 100%.

no, he was older (like 35-40(, bout the same size but lighter skin

JEROME, IS THE BODYGUARD THE PERSON WITH THE WHITE SHIRT??


YES OR NO


Answer my question

[Jerome Scuggs]

Once we had a rush order to a hospital, 15 pizzas in thirty minutes I got an eighty dollar tip, I kept half and gave the two cooks twenty bucks each.

Which reminds me, I have to tell my hospital stories (I've seen people die) and stories about the cooks.

[Cops]

A ten dollar tip is pretty sweet. The most I've received is $20 for doing a birthday party at a Cineplex movie theater.

It probably is him.

[Xog]

you haven't answered his question, jeromidome

[paradise!]

hahaha funny stuff

[Jerome Scuggs]

haha, why is your mom so afraid? Like your dad will stop every criminal that tries to enter your house.

are you talking about this big black guy, with his white shirt??

My mother is a social worker so all she does is work with criminals, my dad is a cop so all he does is work with criminals. One profession leaves you scared, the other prepared. It's like they were made for eachother.

I wound up getting ten bucks from the guy. I love weekends, I usually leave it with two hundred bucks in my pocket. Well, one sixty after I've purchased beer for the week.

[Sube]

thts crazy lol

At this point I nervously told him he packed some good heat (when my dad is out of town, my mother sleeps with mace in one hand and a glock in another. If you only knew her, she is adorable.) he then stopped and told me not to ever mention his guns, or he would find me and kill me.

I guess this post means I have a death warrant.

And just when he thought you were cool huh?

[Cops]

so how much was your tip for that pizza?

[Jedi DC]

hey bro,

you delivered pizza to edward norton? that sounds pretty cool. i tsounds like you might get tipped well too

i got a job at domino's delivering 2 months ago,

not that much exciting stuff happens to me, maybe i do not act personable enough. one time last week one of the customers called back my cell phone at 2am. i didnt notice until the next morning and as the customer was a woman i took this as a good sign. i typed her phone # into google and the first link was to her ad in an escort classifieds, including inappropriate pictures of her.

here is one of her ads.
