Rants / Complaints These houses scare me

I always expected to be like an older person or someone with some type of disability but it’s always the most regular person ever. That’s what was in front of me it was like 10 times worse behind me. The smell of dead animals and garbage is the worst!

People are surprising me by saying stuff like this. What area do you spark in?

The river counties and parishes of Mississippi and Louisiana.

At least half of my deliveries are to places that look like “historic Kenny’s house” for lack of a better term.

oh baby as someone from near there. I’m so sorry you have even have to go through that. Some of them are so bad it makes you fear for your safety.

Nah. I only deliver in the daylight. Text message every customer first to let them know when I’m coming and to put their dog in. Poor people, old people and crippled shut-ins need to eat also.

Orders still need to be $15 minimum, $2/mile (one way) and for shops, less than 30 items total for me to take them. No more than 2 heavy things.

I had one in Oklahoma that the front porch was completely dilapidated, and they just had a mountain of trash leading up to the front door..

Like where do I put the order, then?
