I fired the beer man!
Tamara
don't go to beer, but instead, beer comes to me. There are two services
that I use for beer delivery, one called Cheers and the other, simply,
Delivery Man. Back in the days when I actually DRANK, I kept both of these
suppliers very happy.
Anyway, last night I wanted to order a case of beer so I thought back to
which service I called last. I had called Delivery Man so, this time, I
would call Cheers. So I did. Sometime around 9 p.m. Their hours of
operation are 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The guy showed up with the case of beer at around 10 p.m. and, being my
usual cheerful self (stop laughing), I greeted him with a smile and $40 CDN.
You have to remember that this guy is just the driver who brings beer,
alcohol and cigarette-type products to people who live in this
neighbourhood. He does NOT own the business.
So buddy says to me "Next time, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't call so
late." I reminded him that the business is open until 9:30. He griped
about the long hours he has to work. I again reminded him that the business
is open until 9:30. He complained that the dispatcher called him when he
was all the way across the city. I again reminded him that the business is
open until 9:30 and that he has competition and that I never ever have to
call Cheers again OR give him a tip. He said "Fine, be that way." That was
when the door-slamming took place.
This morning I called Cheers and told them what happened. The polite woman
on the phone apologized and apologized and said that there have been many
complaints about this guy and that they would have a talk with him today. I
was sickeningly sweet and insisted that they not be too harsh on the guy but
inside my head I was saying "FIRE THE DAMN ASSHOLE!"
I think a free case of beer will help clear this up pretty quickly.

staff.
A few weeks ago, some deliverymen fucked up the delivery of my bed,
thanfully, it worked out well.
I considered calling in a complaint, but ultimately decided not to, for the
reason that they're doomed to be low-pay, low-expectation grunts, and that I
didn't want to make their difficult lives more difficult.
OTOH, it is fair to expect service where it is paid for.
I dunno.

Yeah but did you ever think that maybe the driver is rude and

over? I bet you didn't. I bet you just decided that the chyk should be
fired because of some brief interactions, and don't care ONE WHIT

For myself, it comes to an issue of relative inconvenience,
combined with a bit of compassion. His impact upon my life in minimal, but
a complaint may seriously imapact his. I'm in a comfortable enough
position that I can sustain these minor inconveniences with little trouble.
Were the problem to be chronic, or malicious in nature, I would deal with it
appropriately.

My own actions will have little impact on whether a bitter, low-paid worker
stay so or not. I don't think a complaint on my part will inspire them

Oh, yeah. They're skeery, all right. How dare someone arrive at
conclusions based on fact, then hold a particular belief based on
those conclusions? Frightening!
But not nearly as frightening as trembling fence-sitters who not only
won't make up their own minds, but encourage others to join them on a
multitude of fences.

Sure, but this deliveryman's actions are reflecting on the business he's
working for - it's his responsibility as an employee to put his own
griping aside and show the world the better side to make a good
impression for the business. If he's got a problem he should be taking
it up directly with his employer, not discussing it with customers. He's
not obviously a victim here, and if he is, it's a whole other can of
kontext-away.
Further, it's the business' responsibility to either fix the problems in
the first place, or hire someone who can deal with it themself - to
realize that the face the customer sees is the face the customer
associates with the business, and treat those faces well enough to
ensure a good public image.
If the problems can't be overcome, then it's probably best in the long
run for all parties that a complaint was made. If they can, then the
problem is solved anyway.

a paying customer who hadn't done anything to deserve it. What's not
to complain about?
After all, there's more than one beer delivery service in Tronna,
apparently. (Emigration papers being prepared as I write.) All other
things being equal, the customers would rather deal with the one that
hires polite staff, right?
So the schmuck is sending customers to the other company. Which is
no skin off those customers' noses, until of course the schmuck's
company tanks and the one remaining company jacks its prices through
the roof.
Or the customers can complain, get the schmuck's ass fired, keep his
company in business, and keep that healthy competition going. Which
would you choose?
So the schmuck gets a bad life. Until he cleans up his act, he
deserves one.

First, why are you frightened of people sitting on a fence? Second, if
they're trembling, doesn't that seem to indicate that they're the one's
who're afraid? So why should they frighten you? Third, I'll have you
know that I enjoy sitting on fences (well, not barbed wire, but the wide

These are all reasonable expectations, but will likely only be fulfilled
according to pay. A $5/hr monkey will not likely take the pains to be
professional, wherease a $10/monkey might. Such a delivery service may
cost more, for the added expectation of professionality.
As far as beer delivery is concerned, I'm not looking for professionality...
I just need a guy to drop off beer. I don't plan on interacting with him a
whole deal. If he's a dick, I'll likely not tip.
The core of my position is this: Expectations are bound to pay, as they
should be.

Oh, don't be a twit. You said:
"I considered calling in a complaint, but ultimately decided not to,
for the reason that they're doomed to be low-pay, low-expectation
grunts, and that I didn't want to make their difficult lives more
difficult.
OTOH, it is fair to expect service where it is paid for.
I dunno."
And when someone said they did know what they would do in such a
situation, you said "People who claim to "Know" are frightening." If
you're such a limp-wristed, tenderer-than-thou, quivering lump of
uncertainty and doubt that you find frightening people who claim to
know what they think about such a situation and claim to know what
they would do, then I wonder how you manage to get through the myriad
of decisions each day brings with it, and how you manage to ever form
an opinion. As I said before, how do you manage to buy groceries?
BTW, you also deserve a hearty bitch-slapping for saying "[delivery
people are] doomed to be low-pay, low-expectation grunts." Sometime
when you have time, I'll list for you all the low-paying, manual-labor
jobs I held before the age of thirty, provided that you'll then hold
still while I plant a boot on your butt for presuming that a
low-paying job doing manual labor amounts to a life sentence of the
same.

I agree that it isn't, not in the least. However, I wouldn't have high hopes
for someone who can't deliver beer with a modicum or professionality,
nor would I think a complaint from me would inspire them to better things.

Yeah but there's got to be a certain amount of respect regardless of how
much you get paid. If my employee couldn't be bothered to muster that much
respect, I couldn't be bothered to employ him.
Which is why I can't work in retail - I don't work well with the public.

Agreed again. Although my analysis may be been somewhat speculative,
I still beleive that Job expectations are bound to wage, and where there is
low wage, we should lower our expectations appropriately.

My most vivid memory of visiting Toronto is that, on the red trolley,
there were ads for KFC showing a phone where the three colored buttons
across the top were something like "fire", "hospital", and "the face
of Colonel Sanders". Apparently in Toronto, KFC deliverymen have
replaced the police.
"Help, I'm trapped in a stupid panic room with Jodie Foster!
Send over a SWAT team armed with curly fries!"
And there were ads for "976.11.11" pizza everywhere, which scared
me, because as a loyal American, I know that all 976- phone numbers
are answered by housewives pretending to be prostitutes.

Here's how much more civilized Boston is than Toronto: Here we not
only have the genuine "Cheers" pub as seen on TV, but also "CHEERS too"
and "three CHEERS" and several other knockoffs and licensed Cheers
brand souvenir stores. There used to be one of them at the top of
the Prudential Tower before they had to close the observation deck
because they were worried terrorists would go up there and wave down
airplanes, after 9/76/11/11 -- AUGH! TAM, YOU INFECTED ME WITH
YOUR EVIL TORONTO PIZZA JINGLE!
You should call up nine seven six dot eleven dot eleven and ask them
to start delivering beer. That is, assuming your phone has an "eleven"
button and not just a picture of the Jack In The Box clown's face.
Here in the U.S., our phones go up to 99! Except they leave off the
"66" button because if you pressed it three times you'd summon Satan twice.

I'm really tired of people in

whatsoever to do with medieval

never omit room 13 on any of
the floors!) It's just so they
can make more money, because
the price of an apartment is
proportional to how high it is,
so being able to pretend that
all the floors are one higher
is good for them.
I'm not sure what floor the Cheers
souvenir shop in the Prudential
was on, because that building
omits about six floor numbers
(there are no floors ending in "2",
so if you ever have to go down
the stairs, watch your step.)

I used to thank the recently-arrived bus driver from Germany because he was
like a Jim Jarmusch character all lost in usaia and scared of my rude
neighbors, who were all stuck on themselves and hung-up because they didn't
get an interweb to print.
I also thanked the black lady bus drivers but they didn't like being

He could be, we don't know until we have EVIDENCE!
In order to obtain this VITAL INFORMATION, I propose the following
COMPLETELY SCIENTIFIC procedure for a SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT!
Aparratus:
----------
10 agree-monkeys
10 ordinary monkeys
20 kibologists
Method:
-------
In order for this to be a double blind experiment, poke everybody in the
eye twice.
Label the monkeys 1-20, randomly selecting between agree-monkeys and
ordinary monkeys.
Label the kibologists A-T. Then, randomly assign monkeys to
kibologists. Get somebody else to actually give the monkeys to the
kibologists, in case you accidently blurt out something like, "Oh, Mr.
Impson, you get an agreemonkey! Lucky you!".
Then, leave each kibologist separately with their monkey for about an
hour. At the end of that time, record which monkeys were given time.
Results:
--------
Kibologist | Monkey | Monkey Type| Given time?
-----------+--------+------------+------------
A | 18 | Agree | N
B | 17 | Ordinary | N
C | 11 | Agree | Y
D | 7 | Ordinary | Y
E | 4 | Ordinary | Y
F | 12 | Ordinary | N
G | 1 | Ordinary | Y
H | 20 | Agree | N
I | 5 | Ordinary | Y
J | 10 | Agree | Y
K | 6 | Ordinary | N
L | 13 | Agree | Y
M | 16 | Ordinary | Y
N | 15 | Agree | N
O | 9 | Agree | N
P | 8 | Agree | N
Q | 2 | Agree | N
R | 14 | Ordinary | Y
S | 19 | Ordinary | N
T | 3 | Agree | N
Analysis:
---------
Type of monkey | Number given time | Number not given time
---------------+-------------------+----------------------
Ordinary | 6 | 4
Agree | 3 | 7
Conclusion:
------------
I think it's pretty clear from these results that kibologists prefer to
give time to ordinary monkeys, rather than agree-monkeys. There also
seems to be a slight tendency to prefer not to give time to monkeys,
although this may be statistically insignificant.

The howso was not intended towards the "everybody" part,
but to the part about it being unfair to map expectations
to wages.

Whew! Thank you SO MUCH for clarifying. The furtherer and furtherer I read
your post, the deeperer and deeperer I sank into a dark, dank, decidedly
desperate depression, until only the merest, vaguest, translucentest
impression of my tight-lipped frown remained. Because I LIKE that guy. I

If you're going to assume that everybody who gets paid a lot is a good
person and deserves respect, and everbody who gets paid little is
undeserving of respect, then doesn't that mean that you should be
sucking up to Bill Gates and various sportspeople and actors all the
time?
And what happens if one day somebody has a job as a high-paid
executive or something, so you like them, and then the next day they
don't have that job any more for some reason. Do you then have to
scorn them? "Oh yeah, YESTERDAY I thought you were a good person
because you were getting paid $5 million per year, but today you have
no job so I HATE YOU!"
Deciding on which people are "better" than others by looking at how
many pieces of green paper they have in their pocketssess seems like a
pretty pointless exercise.

Such abuse of statistics pains me. Your experiment was not large
enough to justify such confidence in your conclusion. To see this,
let's fix the sample size at 20, the number of monkeys given time at
9, and the number of ordinary monkeys at 10. "What," we might ask
ourselves, "is the probability that the number of ordinary monkeys
given time will be 6 or greater, assuming the null hypothesis?" A
miserable slacker might settle for the Chi-Squared test here, but a
diligent investigator would not settle for an approximation when
exactitude is possible.

You're right. A complaint from you probably wouldn't have much effect,
once the snickering died down.
Of course, you could make your complaint more effective by reminding
them of how much money you make.

I don't know what kind of feudalistic talk you're speaking of.
I've gone through enough cars with this job now, but I don't take working
late out on my customers. If I didn't want to work certain hours, I
wouldn't accept a job working those hours.
I will let a wee bit of verbal aggression out at customers that are drunk
and slobber all over me, or those that REEEEEALLY want me to try their pot,
or those that give me the wrong address, or those who don't show up at the
door after I knock and ring and knock and ring and knock and then call and
then knock and ring and knock and ring and then they finally wake up*. But
if I have to work late because people called during our official hours,
that I have no problems with. The customer is always right after all, as
long as they are sober, clothed, and awake.

But wait! You have announced the results BEFORE the experiment has
been done! Clearly this demonstrates the mastery of some form of time
travel, so therefore I hail this as the scientific breakthrough of
next century.
Also, it is interesting to note that the monkeys of the future do not

You FOOL! If you were ANY kind of scientist of note, or even above
subpar intelligence, you would already know that we're LIVING IN the next
century! I'm not sure what cognitive defect all that lashing, rum, and
sodomy introduced into your transponded ancestors, but you're OBVIOUSLY
stupid. Unless... Australia were moving in a different relativistic
frame of reference... due to THE CORIOLIS EFFECT! The only way to test
this hypothesis is for the esteemed Dr. Burrage to emit a steady stream
of Australian Pesos to a predesignated recieving station here in
Ammurica, where I will test this theory by carefully measuring how long
each peso is and how far I can stretch it.

IPWTA "Levity". DAG TAKE NOTE: NEEDS FAECES THROWING MONKEYS! Maybe as

That's just WRONG! If I wanted MY home demolished with an American

I am not suggsting anything. And what's this "Rich" stuff? Have I
given you permission to address me by my first name? Do I go around
calling you h1dd3n_ham$73r? I am properly referred to as "Doctroid,

so if you're really concerned about those darned Palestinians, stop
perpetuating the capitalist model by deliberately including more
signature space than you, as an individual human being, have a right to!
greedy worker-exploiting bastard. children are unable to point to Perth

Their problem is not capitalism, it is Colonialism: Colonialism that is
paid for by the US and perpetrated by Jewish Israelis to drive the
Palestinians from their land, kilometer by kilometer.
Ethnic cleansing, in other words.
I've personally witnessed the Israeli army tear gas families as they picked
olives in their groves.
I've seen Israeli tanks mow down children with 50cal rounds in Nablus.
I've seen torture scars, bullet wounds, funerals, beatings, illegal
detention, home invasion, hostage taking, and destruction of farmland,
all courtesy of "The only democracy" in the middle east.
Comparatively, McQ compliance is the least of my concerns.
Your mockery is sad to me, but it is your right and luxury.

HEY! Don't you KNOW that the SUN she will EXPLODIATE in less than TEN
BILLION YEARS?? Therefore, I am going to rob a bank! If they catch me
and haul me into court, I'll try the "THE SUN SHE EXPLODE!" defence.
If that doesn't work, I'll ask them if I can get a cell somewhere
near the Chief Magistrate of Queensland, who was gaoled today for
BEING A CRIMINAL!
Speaking of criminals, last time I went through Austrian Customs,
they asked me if I had a criminal record. I replied "IF I WAS YOUR
