Delivery story 464 PizzaMedic writes: I delivered pizza a few years ago to put myself through paramedic school. This was at a slightly lower known national pizza chain in East Valley, AZ. For the most part it was a blast and I made a lot of good friends, made some decent money, and honestly miss those days. I have a million stories from those days but the best ones have already been told here: naked girl sleepovers, swinger couple offering to "tip" me in other ways, and armed robbery. The ones that stand out to me after the extreme things are all of the 12-15 year olds put in charge of handling the money transaction for the parents. I delivered a few pies to a home well out of our delivery area. I took the phone order and told the mother that she was out of the area but since it was a slow night and I was the driver I would do it, but not to expect this treatment every time. She was very happy and thanked me profusely. So after a 20 minute drive I rang the doorbell and was greeted to a 12 year old kid. I told him the total was $19.76 and noticed he was holding 3 $10 bills. The kid was slick with his mom doing dishes about 10 feet behind him and looked back at her a few times before handing me 2 of the $10s and slipping the last one into his pocket. "That's $20 little man," I said loudly enough for the mom to hear. "Would you like your 24 cents back?" The kid turned ghost white (and he was African-American, so that's a lot of shades.) Mom noticed what happened and immediately gave him a tongue lashing that only a church going older african american woman can give, and handed me the extra 10 saying, "God bless you for making such a far trip." This is just one out of 50 examples (most did not end this well) but when you put your kid in charge of paying for food you're doing it wrong.
