Current mood: 
frustrated
Geez, going to work tonight was a total joke and waste of my time. A phone call telling me not to come in would've been appreciated instead of making me drive from Aurora to Thornton for a half hour of cutting green peppers. Just what I need when "cheap gas" is going for $1.89 right now. I'm so glad our manager is on top of things and finds out in advance when schools do/don't need to have pizzas delivered for lunch. Turns out today was an in-service day and there were no students. They sent the first batch of pizzas out before they found this out. Morons. So that, coupled with the fact that they're dead at the moment (more about that later) and there was no dough to do at all.
Next, the owner is upset that food cost is at 39% right now. Well, duh, you put out an unlimited toppings coupon—what do you expect? The store is in an area where people will take everything for free whether they wanted it or not. He's decided to raise the delivery charge to help cover the increase. I'm not sure to what as I've heard anything from $.60 to $1.00. There goes another portion of driver tips. The reason they're kind of dead now is the owner suddenly stopped sending out advertising. He's gearing up to launch some stupid pizza called "The Mediterranean." It's some chicken, garlic weirdo concoction that I refuse to try because it has green olives on it. Ewww. So, it's dead and in an effort to save labor (and make up for the outrageous food usage), several of us rush drivers were told we weren't needed. Great. Of course, the asst. manager that the head manager has a thing for is on overtime already and she works all day tomorrow, too. The whole situation is insane. I give up.
