Just so you know, my post was about my view on tipping and not about you. If It had been, I would have quoted you.
Just so you know, I didn't take it that way. Several of us were complaining, and it looked like you were calling
all of us "pretentious."
I repeat: It is not pretentious to expect a delivery driver to be able to find your address. It's also not pretentious to expect him to listen to you when you explain how to find the address/get into the building.
Valka, if you have an ongoing issue with deliveries from particular vendors, why not provide them with a map of your building and its various entrances and detailed directions on how to get to your door? Give those to the manager of the pizza shop you use most.
Birdjaguar, I wish you would read my posts more carefully. The argument I had with the guy who insisted I lived two blocks from my real address happened over six years ago. I don't live there anymore. The pizza/Chinese food/Skip the Dishes drivers don't seem to have much trouble finding this place, although there was a time or two when a new driver got confused between the front door and the back door.
This place has 120 suites, and based on my own observations and the ones I hear about from the manager when he's in a gossipy mood, there are a lot of us in this building who order takeout. Therefore, I would expect most restaurants with delivery service to be familiar with this place (at least the pizza and Chinese food places). And when you order online, particularly via Skip the Dishes, you might not get the delivery from the same restaurant each time (ie. if I order from McDonalds, my order might come from the restaurant in Walmart at the nearest mall, or the nearest standalone place, or the place downtown that's open 24 hours, or... we have a lot of McDonalds franchises in Red Deer, and I'm not going to run around to all of them and give them maps to my building, even if there were maps to give, which there aren't).
The people who have trouble finding this place are the ones like Walmart drivers and other such delivery people. I don't order pizza from them.
