So I was 45 mins late due to me having to take a break by law, not my choice, I’d have rather tipped first then chilled out.
Starts talking to me like “is somebody a bit late”. Blah blah blah.
Wow. It’s amazing how annoyed it seems people at these places get over 45 minutes or the day or the week or the month. Let’s just get it on with eh and cut the attitudes and moaning.
Should have replied with “I had a sleep on the way here… sorry you didn’t pick a job where you could have a nap by LAW”

Guess you don’t want it then, smartarse? Thought not, tip it or tell me it’s refused.
Calling them a thing rhyming with shock but starting with a c helps too.

I think you’re being a bit sensitive, if you get upset by that you wont last long in this job 
shoulda told him to F.O.C.U.S.
He might just have been joking, I’ve heard worse.
If he wasn’t, then have a ‘smart arse duel’…, look up to the sky for about 5 seconds in different directions, and say ‘‘No the world hasn’t come to an end mate, so I wouldn’t worry’’
Just point at your face and say " does it look like I care ? "
I’ve been late on my first drop once since starting this run about six months ago, early nothing’s said, late once and the bloke booking me in looked like his life had ended!!
I had a load refused for the same reason despite the fact that the whole of West Yorkshire was gridlocked due to the M62 closure after fatal accident.
On tippers it’s not so much loads arriving late, but customers wanting you to come back for another load, after they’ve messed you about during the day.
They also don’t understand that I start work earlier than their silly 8am start times, hence I stop for lunch before they do.
This is a typical walter mitty person tells everyone else the things that happen to them and dont have the balls to speak up for themselves or say anything when something happens to them, wallfers and a ■■■■ stirrer
I’m on for a supermarket and we get supplier collections to do sometimes, we’re not told about any times or anything, it gets done when it gets done, I’ve had goods in clerks say this is late, why is this so late, once they start with that ■■■■ I just tell them I’m dropping the trailer in such a place and once they’ve finished moaning they can get a shunter to put it where they want it, as you walk away they start calling you back, i just keep walking and drop the trailer, they soon lose the smart arse talk the next time a load is taken in.

Don’t suppose that’s Tosco’s, I used to get Tosco Primary loads now and again when I was on General. It was great watching the look of resignation on the Good in clerks face when they’ve just spent 5 mins telling you how bad you are and you’ll have to dance to out tune, you then say “you do no its a primary load”, all of a sudden there is a bay for you and a quick tip 
I usually just shrug my shoulders and say “above my pay grade mate” or “sign here refused” with a big smile on my face, because they really hate to think they might be doing you a favour.
One day I’d been held up on the Donny bypass, gets to the drop and hour late, the bloke is having big moan eventually he says “why are you late” I replied “you aren’t interested, so I’m not wasting my breath” and walked to the truck, put the kettle on, Next thing a bay door opens and the bloke is waving at me, so I wave back but didn’t move, did this for what seemed like ages til eventually he jumps of the bay walks over to me to tell me to go on the bay, He was less than impressed
If people start moaning at me I just look confused and say in my best pidgin English me good driver but in my company nary I’m an engineer as that’s what one of our old polish drivers did or look blankly over there shoulder and say in the space time continuum this is only a minor blip and won’t realign the axis of the fleet earth and the galaxy and they just look at me like I’m mad and it takes the wind out of there sails.
They also hate it when they say you’ll have to wait now to be unloaded and you say ok I’m paid by the Hour

And then say ‘‘Ok, give me a knock when ready mate, I fancy an hours kip’’
Guaranteed to be tipped in 10 mins.
I just tell em there was a traffic jam
It never gets as far as a discussion between them and me. My response is usually “you ordered it, I don’t care whether you take it or not, I get paid either way”.
Life is too short to ■■■■ about with emotionally stunted goods in clerks.
Yeah Eddie Snax that’s tosco I’m talkin about

That was the best bit about that job, apart from when they put the intercom on the gate at Welham Green, I asked for a Big Mac Large fries and black coffee to go, there was long sigh from the other end, then the voice said “your not the first, and it wasn’t funny then”, brightened up my day
