No matter how presentably your are, you will still get that look!!!
I just hate going in there , i wish we could have paperless bol. lol
ANYPLACE that don't have a system of doing things. BOLs are "over here" and your trailer is "somewhere over there" not to mention if its a live un/load, and they have no CB radio, and then nobody ever comes out to assign a driver a dock door.
Just the other day, I had a delivery at Dominick's in chicago. They have a system, but if you dont jump thru every hoop just right, they get all upset. So i followed the process. I actually took in a comcheck so i didnt have to go back to the truck. Checked in with the head lumper guy...then he tells me to check in with receiving and she'll assign me a door. So i take the paperwork over to the window (this 70 year old american-african lady) set it down under the glass, notice she is busy filing some other paperwork, so i start filling out my comcheck. about 15-20 sec. go by, and i'm done filling out the check. I look up, and she's now swiveled her chair around looking at me with her hands on the arm rest and says with this tone off The Jeffersons, "are you ready now?" I said, "excuse me?" she said it again, as she was walking toward the window, so i informed her, "paperworks been sitting there...".
sometimes i just want to go off. maybe when i hang up my steering wheel, i might just do that the last week. =)
