I just wanted my pizza

I heard the deliveryman pull up and I met him at the door. He handed me the pizza and the credit card slip to sign. While I am signing he notes how cold it is and that I am wearing short sleeves. He then starts talking about how he has an idea for a business. He tells me it is a retirement center where his business motto would be "Your time is more important than mine". This story was only an opening line for a seemingly endless speech on how he has succeeded at every job he has ever had because he has not just adopted this motto but he lives it. He continued on to tell me how to do this and just how important it was to be considerate of your customer and his time. In the mean time I am freezing. I have a hungry child inside and my pizza is getting cold....hmmm Then, as he is leaving (Finally) he stops as he is almost to his car and says "by the way over in Dallas at some of the stores they pay 350.00 Dollars per hour for Santas this time of year (as if they would need Santas some other part of the year)." He added on "Sometimes 450.00 per hour if you have a few years experience so you could work about 3 hours and pick up around 1000.00 dollars." Then the crowniing blow " I thought I would let you know because you have the perfect Santa build." Mind you he has a special Motto about being considerate of your customer.

  1. How on Earth you get into these situations and conversations is beyond me. You have a NEON sign on your forehead that says something in a language only special people in the world can read. Special people like your pizza delivery man!
