It’s All In The Delivery, Part 8

I frequently order groceries online, which are delivered through a third party.

One time, the delivery guy turns up, and starts unloading bags full of nappies, baby formula, etc, NONE of which I ordered, being a mid-fifties spinster with no children.

I politely tell the delivery guy:

Me: “That’s not my order.”

I assume this will be a simple conversation.

Nope.

Cue several minutes of me reiterating that information, that this is NOT my order, that is NOT my name on the bags, and, oh, this order would actually be about three times the value of what I had paid for.

Driver: *Insistent.* “This is the order I collected FOR YOU, and you MUST accept delivery.”

Round and round we went, with me refusing to accept delivery of an incorrect order, and him refusing to put it back in the car to take it back to the shop.

I eventually had to phone the store helpline while he was still at my door, to confirm that MY order was still in the shop, before he begrudgingly agreed to return this other person’s order.

Dude, I get that you are probably earning minimum wage doing deliveries, BUT in the time you spent arguing with me about the error, you could have probably returned the delivery and picked up another job. 

I did eventually get my correct groceries, delivered by a different driver.
