I knew they were a little slow down in Baton Rouge ....

But, V-day? How do you miss that??
 
I worked at this store years ago and it was bought out by a non florist. The first Valentines she dealt with she decided to not go with the regular delivery service as sone unknown had come in with a cheaper delivery price. I tried to tell her that it was not a good time to try a new service but as she was the boss and had experience in the "corperate world" she would not listen. She ended up taking this fellow to court for theft as he took the money which she paid before he delivered anything, and dumped all the orders into a garbage bin. Unfortunatly there were about 3 different florist in the area that had got scammed by this guy. I ended up losing a days pay sitting in court as a witness and the guy ended up changing his plea to guilty and the shop ended up closing down (she tried too many copreate shortcuts).
 
Makes you wonder ...

Also is Billy any relation to Hero?

Why so many people do forget that it's always the 14th. He is my cousin and was actually helped out by this story. Was on the news and he recieved free publicity and alot of sympathy. Also for all those that we not delivered he could say he had a theft. Pretty slick. But you have to remember that contract drivers are just that, on a contract, only as good as you inforce it. We make copies of Driver Lisc, Take picture of car and plates, and Driver.

HERO

p.s. Ryan, I foward your reply to my cousin and the newspaper. I will give them your shop name, address, e-mail, and phone number for all of the fine people in Baton Rouge who want to comment on your remark. :buttkick
