[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ok how did they know which houses to go to at all without a list? And if they did have a list, did they simply skip a few houses? Seems like a pretty easy fix, just look back at the list. Did they only deliver partial orders to some of the customers? Seems unlikely, as each customer would want to verify they got their desired cookies as they were handed over.

Did they not check off each box from each order as it was delivered?

Did your husband perhaps pick up more boxes than he ordered?[/quote]

I think the only (and obvious) answer is that either he failed to check off which houses he delivered to (and missed some), or he misread lines and delivered mrs. Smith's smaller order to Mr. Jones, possibly more than once.  Smart money is on the first option--having delivered cookies more than once, there is absolutely no way you get them all delivered on the first go-round.  People are never he and you have to go back repeatedly.  Lesson is to make sure you get a legible phone number for all orders (so you can call and say "your cookies are in, when would be a convenient time to deliver them?") And absolutely positively check them off as you deliver them.  Without that simple step, there is just no f-ing way to fix it unless you go back to each house and interview them (and good luck with that. [/quote]

If it's the first it's definitely on the DH. If he did hit every house however, and spoke to the peeps who ordered it as he handed over the cookies, I say it's on them for not knowing if they were being shorted or not. Caveat emptor and all. Not surprised there were raisins and Samoans left but who wouldn't remember how many thin mints they ordered?[/quote]
It's usually weeks between ordering and receiving. I would bet that a lot of people cannot remember their exact order. That is why it's recorded on that handy dandy order form, right next to the box that says "paid", and the box that says "delivered". [/quote]
