Wild And Crazy Things That Happened To Delivery Drivers While Attempting To Make A Delivery
As a delivery driver, you always have to expect the unexpected.
Working in customer service or any job that involves interacting with people is always quite unpredictable; you never know how people will behave, so you just wish for the best and do your job to the best of your ability. Delivery drivers face additional challenges that those who work in a fixed location usually do not encounter.
Each time you drive to a customer's residence, you must navigate your way to where they actually live, not just to an address. Once you find yourself inside a complex building or a gated community, any random thing can happen, so you have to be ready for anything.
Some people have overly eager or aggressive pets who might try to make your life harder; they see you as a threat, and they have every reason to believe so. After all, they've never seen you before, and for all they know, you are invading their personal space by being there.
Delivery drivers experience a lot of wild situations every day; each delivery can lead to something unpredictable. Thankfully, it's mostly pretty chill, and the screenshots below prove that it can even be exciting and rewarding.
