When your supplier is more like a stand-up comedian

Had a delivery scheduled last week, and my supplier was supposed to drop off a critical batch of materials. After two hours of waiting, I got a call from the driver saying he was lost, and then he followed up with a joke about his GPS being on strike. It’s moments like these that make you wonder if they should be doing comedy instead of logistics! Has anyone else had suppliers that are just too entertaining?

And i’ve had a supplier insist they weren’t late, just ‘fashionably delayed’! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Ever think about giving them a stage? @ComedyLogistics.

, I get that! I once waited three hours for a delivery only to hear the driver had the wrong address. He joked that he was ‘just taking the scenic route!’ I think they must have a comedy class on the side.
