The latest have ever gone for a delivery happens to be the first and only time I downloaded the Bolt app to book a ride around past midnight.
Now that I think of it, oh Mhenn. I'm dangerously a risk taker😩
I mean the hustle isn't for the weak.
So on a normal day, I work with dispatches and only make use of two who I've already gotten accustomed to but the difference in this case was when I was given a meet pie order of 50 pieces around 5 pm to deliver by 8 pm the same day.
On the regular, I could have met up with time but was wrapped up in other work. At first, I declined even if it was painful losing an order but of course, I value my life too, and knowing I wouldn't be able to meet up at the given time.
And when I thought all things were settled, my client called back, pleading I do the work and bring it at any time am done as it's going to be till dawn party and that was when he offered to pay a bolt to ride for me.
Well, I wondered to myself who am I to reject such a free gesture with my pay coming in complete? Honestly, I never imagined myself working until past midnight to get the meatpies readied and wrapped up but then it's never easy for one person to handle everything all together.
At that very minute after downloading and following up the procedure of booking a ride, I called the given contact and was asked me first the man on the other end of the call wasn't too equipped in the English language which made communicating hard.
Fortunately, he was better off with Pigin, and within minutes he came by.
Normally, I wasn't so at peace since I've never had any reason to step outside my door around past noon and just then the driver went in another direction in the name of getting fuel. Immediately I noticed and with his reply, I had to call my elder brother and leave it on call until I arrived at my destination. It took about 15 minutes or so to get to his turn for his tank to be refilled and I was surprisingly in owed that there could be so much cue at the fuel station at that very hour.
But then wasn't happy that the driver was wasting my time. Although he wasn't rude at all but also wasn't apologetic about prolonging my ride journey and after arriving at my destination, he requested I rate him five stars.
You needed to have witnessed the long hiss my stressful self hissed on my way out of his car😅
So with this experience, I can't say it was good neither could I tell it to be bad.. So I guess it falls in between the words of “It's just there”. But the time wastage got to me badly and aside from that, I think all was fine.
