So what's wrong with aliens in our country doing the work "Americans Just Won't Do"? Let me tell you a story.

Last night I wasn't up for cooking, and it was very hot out and I saw no reason to heat up the kitchen, so I ordered a pizza. Now, there is a new Jets Pizza that just opened in my neighborhood, about three minutes from where I live, and Jets is pretty good, so I called in an order.

Problem was the place had their delivery guy call in and so they sent the order out via Door Dash. Door Dash apparently hires foreign people.

I ordered my pizza at 5:30 by 6:3o I got a call from the delivery driver who barely spoke any English. He asked my address, which I am sure he was given when he picked up my order from Jets. I told him the address. He called back saying he was having trouble finding it. I told him again. Then a bit after 7 a woman called and said (also in broken English) they were there but where was I? She gave me an address that was not mine. I told her "no, I'm right by the pizza place" and she complained she was ten miles away! She kept saying she was at this address in an accusatory manner as if I was somehow at fault for their inability to understand English. I finally had to hang up on her because she just kept repeating how she was at this other address. I looked it up - it WAS ten miles away.

How on Earth did this woman think someone that far would order a pizza and expect it to be delivered?

At any rate she was absolutely unreasonable and I had to hang up on her and call Jets. The manager apologized, made me new food, and brought it himself. He threw in an enormous brownie (in a whole cake pan) for my troubles. I didn't get any food until quite late. He said when he called them they simply refused to come back to deliver my food.

THAT is what's wrong with outsourcing your labor, even when it's in the country. These people were clearly Middle Easterners and apparently didn't think they needed to become fluent in English and expected we kaffirs should kowtow to them. I would add I had used a credit card and put a very generous tip on the bill to pay them. Hopefully the manager at Jets kept the tip for himself and further hopefully he'll refuse to pay these two idiots. He did say he will never use them again.

I don't know why it took two of them to do the job one person could do, either. I suppose delivering food is a complex endeavor requiring several minds to navigate.

At any rate I didn't eat until about eight thirty, and enjoyed the fun and adventure of a blood sugar crash in the process so I filled up on sherbert before I got my dinner. Ah, good times!

I don't blame Jets; I blame Door Dash for hiring people who have no business doing a job when they can't speak proper English and can't write down an address properly.

In times past teenagers would have done that job but now foreigners have taken all the jobs kids used to do and now kids get no training for the working world. So young people start with career jobs after college when they finally HAVE to start working and they have no experience with handling the vicissitudes of employment. McDonalds or convenience stores or amusement parks or delivering pizza used to be the minor leagues of employment, where young people learned responsibility. No more. Now we have so many aliens here taking not just those jobs but good ones too. How many people doing coding for big corporations are aliens?

But we never hear about any of the detriments from the mainstream media, just about how terrible it is we are kicking some of them out of the country. Well, I am not willing to wait two and a half hours for a pizza just to give a job to some interloper I didn't invite here. If it was an American kid who screwed up in this fashion I'd be a bit more forging because kids screw up. But I find it offensive to have to argue with someone who has broken English just to get a pizza I ordered - especially when I gave them a very generous tip.

If you come here you had better learn how to live here, how to work here, and learn proper English. If you don't want to do that go home.
