Slanging Dough #3



Wednesdays are fun days......
My first run of the day I went to a pretty nice upscale complex.
I drove past a man in very short stone-washed cut-off jeans shorts washing his yellow Porsche 911. I'm not saying........ well, actually I'm just saying......

Well, I get to the condo and the gentlemen buzzes me in at the security post. I deliver the pizza, get some change for a tip, and I'm bouncing....

I look at the bill, and I see its a $100 bill. This is definitely out of the ordinary, and its very rare that we get bills larger than $50, because we can only carry $20 in change. So I think to myself, was he really trying to give me a $80 tip (it happens when people come into a whole lot of money...but it has never happened to me)
Then there is the thought of KARMA [which I don't necessarily believe in because it's Hindu, however the Biblical principle of what you sow you reap, definitely applies). Anyways, I went back to the door and informed the gentleman that he gave me a $100 bill instead of a $20 bill. DMX used to say: "If you do dirt, you get dirt!"

So I went back to the door, and the guy gave me $10. Upon returning back to the store, I realized, I had already given him $5 from the original bill. So I actually had lost about $8 from the entire delivery. NOT WINNING.

So incredible frustrated, I had a conversation with God about doing the right thing, and I KNOW you take care of your children.
About two and a half hours later, as I returned from another delivery, there was that same gentleman proceeding to exit his Cadillac.

Gentleman: Are you Quincy?
Me: Yessir, that's me.

Gentleman: Just wanted to give you this. It's not a $100 like earlier, but it's $20, and its something. I appreciate your honesty, because I had no clue I gave you a $100 bill.
Me: Hey, no problem. I appreciate the tip sir. Glad I made your day

Just take the tip, and keep it rollin!!

And my day was made too..... {awwwwww}

Slanging Dough #2




The call comes in....
I'm next on the screen, therefore, I get the run.....
It's headed toward the beach. Pinellas Bayway to be exact.
Yessir....gotta love that. Bigger houses = Bigger tips?!?!??!

I get to the door. A pretty lady wearing a top hat, bow tie, and clear see through heels answers the door. And that's all she was wearing. And there is Marvin Gaye playing in the background.

She seems incredibly happy to see me. I guess she was hungry :)

I don't ask questions....

Am I curious? Perhaps. I'll make up this scenario in my head.

Just get the $loot$ and keep it moving.

Sidenote: You can wear whatever the heck you want if you're gonna tip me $10.
