mind the gap

07 February 2005

I made my order online last night and selected my delivery time, 3-5pm (late enough for me to sleep in to the proper hour of 1pm). At the prompt hour of 4:15, the Tesco man rang the buzzer. A ha! Groceries! He trundled up the stairs with 15 bags of food but when checking the delivery list, I noticed he forgot the most important item, the 24 pack of diet Pepsi. So he went back out to his truck to find the elixir of the gods and I started opening bags. There were 6 bags that had things I didn't order and a few had items I couldn't even identify! He comes back up and says he can't find energy in a can. I hand him back the 6 bags of various Asian food items.
While unpacking the rest of the groceries, I notice these other random items mixed in with my order. Tescoman rings my door again and he's found my investment in sanity and I give him back all the items that weren't mine, unbagged. Because I'm a BITCH LIKE THAT. HA! Take that Tescoman who can't get my order correct! Carry lentils and creamed coconut down the stairs and outside WITHOUT A PLASTIC SACK! How you like me now??

It's a good thing he didn't forget the chocolate because then he'd really be sorry.

UPDATE: I checked my order more closely and there were 9 things that I didn't get and paid for. I rang Tesco and they credited my CC and then refunded my delivery service charge. Good thing I didn't call until AFTER I'd had some chocolate.
