One horror story is when the Postmates driver got completely lost and took over an hour extra to deliver a simple meal. By the time it arrived, the food was cold and inedible. Another time, a customer's package was delivered to the wrong address, and it took days to sort out the mess. And there was also a case where the driver was rude to the customer when they asked about the delay.
There are quite a few horror stories. For example, a customer ordered some fresh groceries for a special dinner. The Postmates driver took so long that the perishable items had started to spoil. The customer was left with no choice but to throw them away. In another instance, a customer received a completely different order than what they had placed. They had ordered a vegetarian meal but got a meat - based dish. This not only wasted their money but also caused inconvenience as they had to quickly find an alternative for their meal.
Well, I heard of a situation where a Postmates delivery was supposed to be a birthday cake. The driver didn't handle it carefully and the cake was smashed when it arrived. Also, some people have had their orders cancelled without proper notice. It's really frustrating when you're waiting for your food or items and then suddenly it's just cancelled. There have also been reports of drivers stealing items from the orders they were supposed to deliver.
One recruiter horror story is when a recruiter promised a high - paying job with great benefits. But when the candidate showed up for the interview, it was for a completely different, much lower - level position. The recruiter had misrepresented the job just to get the candidate in the door.
Customers can clearly mark their delivery address, including any special instructions like gate codes or apartment numbers. Also, they should keep an eye on the order status in the app and contact customer support immediately if there are any issues. And it's a good idea to tip well as it might encourage the driver to be more careful and prompt.
One horror story is about infections. Some people got severe infections after lip piercing. The area around the piercing became red, swollen and oozed pus. It was extremely painful and took a long time to heal even with antibiotics.
My sister got a stomach bug right before an important job interview. She was so pale and sweaty. She tried to hold it together during the interview but had to run out in the middle to vomit. She lost the job opportunity because of it. She was in so much pain and discomfort during that time. It took her days to fully recover and get over the disappointment.
One horror story could be when a PlayStation was sent for repair due to a disc drive issue. After weeks of waiting, it came back with a completely different problem - the console wouldn't turn on at all. It seemed like they didn't even test it properly before sending it back.
One horror story could be getting a sample that was clearly spoiled. For example, a customer took a bite of a sample sandwich only to find the meat smelled rancid. Another might be when the sample giver was extremely pushy. They wouldn't take no for an answer and made customers feel uncomfortable. And there was a case where a sample had an ingredient that someone was allergic to but it wasn't clearly marked. A customer had a minor allergic reaction right there in the store.
One horror story could be long waiting times. People have to wait for months just to get an appointment for registration. And then, there are often issues with paperwork. They might ask for documents that were not initially mentioned, causing a lot of frustration.
There was this one woman who got a keratin treatment and within a week her hair started to break off at the ends really badly. She had to cut her hair much shorter than she wanted to just to get rid of all the damaged parts. Another horror story is when the keratin treatment made the hair look greasy all the time. No matter how much she washed it, it still had that oily look. And some people have had allergic reactions to the keratin treatment, with their scalp getting red, itchy and swollen.
One horror story could be about a franchisee who faced unexpected high rent increases. They were doing well initially, but the landlord suddenly doubled the rent. With the tight profit margins in the subway business, this led to huge financial stress and eventually the franchise had to close down.
One horror story could be unexpected high interest rates. People think they're getting a good deal on Snap On tools with credit, but then end up paying way more than expected due to crazy high interest. Another is about strict payment terms. If you miss a payment by a day, they might impose hefty penalties that can really put you in a financial bind.
