How to Lose a Pizza Boy in 10 Days
I played someone at this game a few years back. I worked in a pizza shop and my role of a night was to pack the bags, and give them to drivers – Signing them in and out for each drop. Means they spend less time faffing around and orders turn around quicker.
Anyhow, as the ‘contact point’ it was usually up to me when we can start sending people home. People would unofficially kindof mention that they would appreciate finishing a bit early if possible. We’d have like 25 drivers on, so I’d keep a list.
It wasn’t official, as people finished as and when needed and the list went in the bin at the end of the night, and I’d deny it existed if somone tried to put in a complained based solely on an ad-hoc list written to jog my memory. (People did also ask to stay later, so it balanced out)
This one guy asked every single time. No great shakes, but when business died down a bit, he would ask again and again. We started scheduling him for a bit later – Not for any reason other than thats what was needed. He’d phone me up a couple of hours before he came in to be added to the list to go home early.
So I spoke to tha manager, and clearly this guy just didn’t want to do any work. So we crafted the schedule so that if he asked to leave early, We would just allow him to go straight away.
If he phoned in earlier than his shift, we’d say ‘We can judge it when you get here’. He’d be in for 10 mins, ask then we’d send him home.
Fast forward to payday. He moaned that he had only been paid for 10 hours in the last 2 weeks, but he had been in 8 or 9 days. We printed off his clock in and out times, and wrote down on each day the time he asked to go home AND his reasons for each one. He didn’t come back. Story credit: Reddit / Esqulax
