So. I had a new laptop delivered today by some company out of Atlanta called Roadie. ( Best Buy is apparently using them)
The guy pulls up in what appears to be his personal vehicle gets out, and sets the package at the start of the sidewalk leading up to my house . Then he takes a picture of the package and starts to leave. I've come out on the porch at this point and I tell him I would like the package brought to the porch/house.
Apparently that pissed him off because he said " I'll have to get my mask" in a tone that made it clear he didn’t want to. After getting his mask he brings the package further down the sidewalk but sits it down about 25 feet from the porch and turns to leave. The package falls over at that point. So I tell him that's a damm laptop in that box. He has the balls to turn around and tell me, I didn't know it was going to fall over and don't you cuss me.
Now, my ass is old. 2020 has been a bitch and it doesn't take much to piss me off! But, I took the high road.
While he's standing there glaring I reach back open my front door and grab my Great Pyr's collar as he bolts out the door. The dog has clearly recognized that the man standing halfway down the sidewalk is not welcome.
I, in my best Clint Eastwood voice said " If your ass isn't in your car and headed out of my driveway in about 5 seconds this big white dog is going to have a piece of it". Now. If he could move that quick while making a delivery. He might just have a bright future.
I have of course left a negative review and I'll call Best Buy Corporate on Monday.
