> Most shops have a delivery radius of less than 10 miles and it’s pretty impressive how detailed a driver’s address knowledge of the area can get after just a few months. I delivered pizzas back in the day as well. One night as I was headed out to my car, a woman asked me if I could help her find an address. I said sure, I'll give it a shot. With just a street name and number I was able to rattle off turn-by-turn directions, ending with, "It'll be the third house on your left. Maybe the fourth". My delivery area wasn't a grid or anything. The house numbers didn't neatly align with streets. It was a typical suburban area with random bendy streets and addressing that didn't correlate with a central "State and Main" center. But after a year or so of passing damn near every house in the area, I had fantastic intuition about these things. I had a knockoff, generic, store-brand version of The Knowledge. :) |
