Not sure what to do...

OK well so far I can't even get a store to hire me part time for retail work, even seasonal. The owner of the pizza joint up the street has asked me a few times to drive for him. When he asked me first, I had to say no since my car was in pieces in the driveway. The next time they called me to see if I wanted to drive for them last Friday and Saturday nights. The car was fixed by then, but 2 things prevented me from saying yes, being that I had JUST fixed the car a few days prior, and wanted to make sure teh part would last, but mainly Lith was just getting home from her surgery and I wanted to be at home with her. So what do you think? Should I go for it, and tell him that I will drive for him? It seems the only way that I'm gonna pull any money in. The car is lacking on maintenance right now, actually both of them are, but the money I might make will help with that and I can get both back tip-top eventually. I am strongly considering this as Christmas is coming up on us like a freight train, and nobody else will even hire me. They either filled the position already, or, like where I WANT to get back in, Tractor Supply, they are on hiring freezes due to this shitty economy. The owner of the pizza joint, Sal, has always been good to us, and is a very nice man. It's just that, me being me, I am afraid that if I do drive for him, that something will go wrong, i.e., car breaks down again, the money isn't worth it, blah blah. I am thinking of going up to his shop today to tell him that if he still wants me, he's got me. What do you all think?

Yeppers I would go for it Rusty , you need to quit worrying about things beyond your control such as what might happen and just jump in head first . You will never know until you try .:wink:

I have a relative that started out delivering for a local pizza joint 12 years ago and he now owns that one and has started 2 other ones in neighboring small towns . He aint rich and these are far from pizza huts but still he has done well . He certainlly never expected to get where he has today when he started and bitched about it the first year or so , but he stuck it out . I aint aying it will happen in your case or if you would even want it to , just saying anything is posible. :biggrin: Afterall look who you have for a POTUS . :doh:

I think that's what I'm gonna do, Cowpoke. At this point, I guess it's best to take what I can get. Even if it isn't ideal.

You gotta start somewhere Rusty . I would be upfront and tell the owner that your car is getting a little tired but you are willing to take the Job if he will try you out .
As a retired boss all I can say is the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" . Meaning that if you keep showing up and asking nicely to be considered for the job you will have a better chance of getting it .

Most of all , Don't sit on your ass waiting to be told what to do . There is always work that needs to be done so show some insight and you might be running the place by Christmas !!
Good Luck !

Ask Sal if the pay goes up a little if gas goes over $4 a gallon. That is the one thing you need to watch on those type of delivery jobs. Good luck!:clap:

Cool! Watch speeding around the burgs. They look for those pizza signs and love to nail them for stop signs. So I have heard from some local cops.:whistling:

I know not of any sign that will be on my roof, (not that it matters with the condition of the paint, anyway, :yum: ) but good news! No uni. I can just wear whatever the hell I want.

WRONG! You need to maintain a pleasant look and be courteous to suck nice tips out of the customers. Watch your language as well. Polite and dressed proper will get repeat customers and tips. Put some money aside for the tax man as well. They treat you like a waitress at filing time.

Yeah, but the area around here is not violent at all. Worst I would probably have to deal with is high teens or drunk people.

When my cousin was newly divorced, he rented an apartment on a busy road. This was in the days of the "30-minute or less" delivery time, or the customer got his pizza free.

He'd wait til he saw the cops had a speed trap set up and call for delivery. Every time, the pizza delivery guy would get nabbed for a speeding ticket which took some time, so, my cousin got his pizza free.

He did tip the driver a few $$$ to help defray the fine. :wink:
