I really liked being a pizza delivery driver pre-GPS. It did require some skill, but you learned quickly about how things work:

  • Is it a complex of some sort (e.g., trailer park, apartment, condo)? Look for a unit map.
  • Evens on one side of the street, odds on the other
  • You learn all of those weird roads that have the same name in two disconnected parts of town

It was easily the best "shitty job" I've ever had.

That, and each driver would cover a specific area within the delivery range. It's not like they would have to read a map that fast for an address in an area they didn't already have practically memorized.

In my city:

  • all the addresses are the same on all the parallel streets,

  • "East" and "West" are all separated by the same long North-South Boulevard,

  • even numbered express/highways will take you East/West, odd numbered North/South.

Lots of other stuff I've since forgotten, but I went from not knowing the city to knowing it by heart in a couple of months.

Now I do longer haul deliveries so I know areas far from where I live. I spend my time scoping out potential restaurants/areas for day trips or vacations.

Thank you for your service 🫡

The thin bread line separates not only the hungry from the fed but the men from the boys too. It has a higher casualty rate than being a police officer.

Apartments and multi tenant buildings in my country have numbers in a pattern, 1001 bottom first floor first to the left, 1002 next..1101 next floor same etc etc

Finding the right apartment even without a name of the owner becomes a breeze.

Do you think the postal and delivery workers have learnt this? ..nope..

Pizza delivery though? No issues at all

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Pizza goes cold, packages (usually) not.

I remember buying my first mapsco and thinking: well shit, I literally can't get lost now...

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Same. I loved the independence of it. But it didn't pay enough to cover the repair bills it generated.
