Worst day at work ever today, so awful *updated*

I had my first shift today at a grocery store as a service clerk. Basically bagging, cleaning up, really simple stuff. I used to work at this store before I left for university in a different city. Anyway, we do this thing where we deliver groceries to people, it costs 6$. The man who delivers them is on contract with the store, and apparently messed up the orders quite often. So, I do my first delivery, which consists of packaging the products and numbering the boxes they go into, filling out a form, and then placing the frozen products on a specific shelf in the freezer, likewise for the refridgerated ones and then leaving out the non refrigerated products in the back. So I do this, then a few hours later the woman who ordered it called to say she hasn't got it. Basically they were never delivered, but the boxes were removed by someone, as they had dissapeared from all 3 seperate locations simutaniously. I think the delivery guy took them and gave them to someone else by mistake, and is just saying he never got them to begin with to cover his own ass, since it is very obvious he did take them.

So I am going to go and explain this to the store director tomorrow morning, before the delivery guy gets there to state why he isn't going to pay for the groceries. I know it doesn't sound that bad, but what erupted from this moron not doing his job is a huge pain.

I think the grocery store should start charging more than $6.00 for the deliveries. From there, they could hire a person more capable of handling the home deliveries. If I recall correctly, PeaPod in my area charges a minimum of $4.95 - and it goes up from there depending on the size of the order.

Best of luck at the store. Sounds like many challenges lie ahead.

Well it went extremely well. I talked with the store director and head cashier, both thanked me for personally delivering the products to the customer and seemed very impressed that I was in at 8 the next morning to clear the whole situation up. They agreed that it was not my fault at all, and I have nothing to worry about. This whole thing has turned into a real moral booster for me at work actually.
