if I were still with the company, I would be able to look back at their old invoices, assuming they were a customer before moving as well.

regardless, places like that used to actually make me smile when I would finish the delivery because it reminded me that there is hope for humanity. a lot of places wouldn't let you use the bathroom, make you stand around for 45 minutes while they write a check out that would normally bounce anyway, tell you to drop 40 cases of product in one place and then change their mind 5 minutes later. never had an issue even remotely close to that with them.

now ashley marketplace in south orange on the other hand... nice place and nice people for the most part, but I won't get into anymore detail because that is not the point of this thread and I don't want to steer it in that direction.

town hall deli...is that the one that's on a narrow street and you kind of walk down into it? it rings a bell because there was a deli we had as a customer that was on my route in south orange, but this was over three years ago now.

i remember the delivery entrance being on the side and there was a vacant lot next to it and IIRC, a parking garage across the street. it was also on a bit of an incline.

if it is the same deli, they were really nice people to deal with. i never ate there, but they always paid on time, never complained about orders, always offered food and drinks...that's the kind of stuff delivery guys appreciate too. even if it's just a bottle of water on a hot summer day.
