Spelling of Names....

[Brohn Bron]

For signature required packages, do you spell names correctly/accurately or do you spell phonetically?

I get lazy and usually just guess. I screwed up a name so bad one time I was called into the office for it.

The name was pronounced "shyter"

It was spelled Schiter

It was written in the board like this:

My guess was not remotely close:

I usually just make one up based on their race.

hey they looked Indian

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

also Unshure

And I'm sure you changed their name every day.

What a gosh darn fruit loop you are.

 

[Rack em]

I just spell it out how it sounds. One time I realized I was spelling a customers last name horribly wrong for over 3 years because of how she said it with her accent.

 

[TheMachine]

Usually they are aware their last name is a b@stard of a last name and spell it for me, after I give them the glance that signals your last name sucks.

If they don’t, I say adios and put whatever I want in the diad.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Smith

I give the customer my board and tell them to type their last name cuz I can’t read their scribble. And the people with the long long last names.

On a signature required package with a difficult last name, I peel the PAL label off before the delivery and use that to type the name in. You can also type in the name from the address label. I have seen where other drivers typed in "Man or Woman" at a CIR stop.

Right, if I saw a sig. req. ahead of time for some crap foreign name, I would print it out on the back of the del. notice pad and regardless of the name they signed that's what I entered.

Not a big fan of customers punching buttons on my board. I had one customer who use to try and take my board from me to punch it in his name. I backed away like he was trying to grab my dong.

What's so hard about asking "can you spell that for me please?"
