Today, because of the gas crisis in my state, we had to stop taking delivers at the pizza place I work at. Someone asked if we could walk it to them. My manager agreed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was bitched out by a pizza delivery man. I didn't have the cash to pay him for a pizza I didn't even order. FML
Today, I was sent to a customer's house to switch out a washing machine. My boss had assured me that everything I'd need was already in the truck. Halfway there, I ran out of gas and I realized I didn't have the gas card. My boss says it's my fault. FML
Today, my boss had me walk a mile to the nearest store to get food for a party because she didn't want to lose her parking space at work. Her shopping list had two gallons of juice and a 10lb bag of ice... I had my legs and arms. FML
Today, while working at a pizza shop near a college campus, I got an order to deliver to the dorms. Extremely busy at work and annoyed that someone wouldn't take 3 minutes to walk over, I spat on the pizza. When I arrived to the dorm, a woman in a wheelchair opened the door. FML
Today, I was waiting for my pizza delivery, which I had foolishly chosen to arrive at 5pm in the middle of rush hour. The pizza was roughly 30 minutes late due to this and I was so happy to get my pizza, I tried to help get the pizza out of the warming bag and somehow caused the delivery guy to drop his smartphone. FML
Today, I found out that my favorite pizza place will no longer deliver to my area after dark because they've been robbed too many times. FML
Today, I went out with two friends for lunch. The van we took ran out of fuel, so we pushed it to a nearby gas station, a gas station suffering from a gas shortage. FML
Today, I was heading out for lunch, and a co-worker asked me if I would pick up their pizza. I said yes, because, why not? Just as I arrived, they texted to inform me that the pizza was under the name "Anita Luong Duong". FML
Today, in an effort to conserve gas by using as much of the gas in my tank before refilling it, I ran out just before I could get to the gas station. Nobody can come bring me any. FML
Today, we ordered pizza. A long wait and several phone calls later, we found out that someone met the delivery person at the end of our driveway, signed our receipt, and stole our pizza. Way to check the credit card pizza people. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"The Krusty Krab pizza, is the pizza, for you and me." On a side note, in which state do you live that you have a fuel shortage? Gas is $2 a gallon by me.

Does the 30 minutes or less policy still apply? I'd expect a timely delivery and nothing less.

Yeah I live in Atlanta. It was a shitstorm when people found out at first.

Sweet, you get paid to take a walk. Don't forget to hatch your poke eggs while you're at it.

No, just no. I understand managers want to accommodate customers and keep patronage, but it's usually at the expense of the employee as the manager rarely or ever actually takes up the responsibility of going that 'extra mile'. I have one of those managers, and I finally had enough. I had a discussion with my manager as to why some of the requests he made are both unreasonable and disrespectful toward me as a person after repeated offences (nothing sexual, just outrageous demands because of customers). Thankfully he listened and I haven't had problems since. Maybe you should have a talk with your manager. Granted, if it's only a short fifteen minute walk or something, I wouldn't put up a fuss. But, if you're in a bad neighborhood, the weather is inclement, or it's a ridiculous distance, it's time to have a talk. You have rights as an employee, though I know it doesn't seem like it most of the time.

This is affecting North Carolina too. Idk if that's where you are but most gas stations are completely empty so I totally understand this problem.

I live in North Carolina too and a lot of stations are out. There is a law here against price gouging. But apparently increasing the price per gallon from $1.99 to $2.29 in 4 days isn't price gouging.

I'd get a bike, a basket for the front, a bike lock, and a stretchy cat leash or a bungee cord. I just went to go pick up my order on my bike and that's what I used. You can put the side dishes/soda in the basket and strap the pizzas to the top of the basket. If you strap it in using a criss cross method, the pizzas should stay in place as long as you don't wreck. I rode 5 miles to get my pizza and I'm not in shape, so I'm sure an in shape person can ride further. I know it may suck, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
