When I started delivering in Amarillo a few years back, I wanted to make a little extra money. I knew it would be interesting to see what a job like that would entail. I would run into interesting customers. Interesting stuff would happen at restaurants while I was waiting.

Of course, a job like this would let me see the different customers who appreciate us letting them stay at work or home while we get out in the elements and wait for their food.
