Word to the Wise: Don't order delivery of baked goods from Sam's Club... unless you want sticky fingers all over your food.
I served in the USAF many years ago and among the many injuries and ailments I got for this was back pain that has progressively worsened over the decades. With my 60th birthday only a few years away, I find that carrying around cases of bottled water is painful. My solution was to start having them delivered directly to my home.
Of course, I don't just order water--that seems a bit silly. So I throw in things like toilet paper, paper towels, maybe a case of soda--bulky stuff that younger people with fully-functioning spines are better equipped to handle. For this service, I pay rather steep delivery fees and am coerced into paying a "tip" in advance of my delivery--something that really rubs me the wrong way because tips are rewards for extra service.
This week, my order was just four cases of water, some TP, and a bag of Sam's Club's irresistible yeast rolls. My plans to have these restaurant-grade bread treats with my dinner were dashed though. Turns out the grubby hub driver bringing my delivery apparently couldn't resist the yeast rolls in my order and removed the adhesive bag tie, then tied the bag in a knot to conceal their theft.
Unacceptable.
I will not eat food some non-english speaking, illegal third world alien has rubbed their dirty hands over. I don't know where those hands have been before fondling my food, but I'm confident it wasn't a sink (most vehicles don't come equipped with one). My health is bad enough already, I don't want feces, South American brain worms, flesh-eating bacteria, or whatever monkey sex STD has been snuck across our borders rubbed on my food.
Yes, I know, I'm supposed to be sympathetic to the less fortunate--even those were paid to invade our country and who now drive around in brand new vehicles and make more in a month than 100% disabled veterans incapable of working. Yes, while I feel bad for lepers, I don't want them handling my food. Nor do I like theft.
If someone came to my door, didn't look like a scam artist, and asked for food, I'd make them a box with cans (and a can opener), drinks, etc. I'd also tell them how to get to the church within walking distance of my home that helps the needy. I'd help them because they asked. Thieves don't ask-- they take.
And yes, I know that people handle my food in a restaurant. But I trust the Health Department to make sure that restaurants follow simple hygiene rules. As far as I know, neither Grubby Hub nor Whore Dash have any health department inspections or even training of their delivery people. I also don't recall ever seeing a waiter or waitress take a few items off my plate on the way to my table. Grazing on the customer's food is generally not acceptable in most restaurants.
Am I being unreasonable over a $4.00 bag of rolls? I don't think so. Apparently those rolls are so valuable the whore dash driver couldn't afford to buy their own bag.
Did I complain to Sam's? Of course. I asked for, and got, a refund of my "tip" and the $3.48 cost of the rolls. I'll hope, but not hold my breath, that the driver is banned from future Sam's Club deliveries. Not because I'm petty, but because I don't like the unscreened influx of foreigners carrying diseases into the country that most of us haven't built up immunities to. In the middle ages, corpses were hurled over city walls with catapaults to spread disease. Today, the infected were paid to come here and allowed to saunter in and spread their literal infections all across our nation. Maybe we should instead teach them some basic hygiene... and not to stick their fingers in someone else's food.
