I used to deliver hamburger to Wendy's restaurants from the plant in Columbus (this in 1977, I remember because I'd hear the first Star Wars movie ads on the radio). My brother and I split the route, I'd go Monday, he's go Weds. etc. We'd deliver every other day so down there so the stores got enough for two days, or extra for the weekend with the Friday deliveries. Everyone of them had a sign on the door that no deliveries accepted between 11:00 and 1:00, essentially the lunch rush. We left the plant early in the morning and ran a route, our day was about 12 hrs. long because we delivered every store there in a day, long days and didn't have time to mess around.
At times there would be a hot-shot manager on duty, following the company line, that when we'd bang on the door and say "Village Packing" they would say "... have to come back, not accepting deliveries". We'd say OK, see you Weds. or Friday or whatever was two days away, and turn and walk away. It would quickly hit them they would be out of hamburger by the end of the day and run out after us and let us make the delivery. Our manager (who was a drunk and a real SOB otherwise) would back us up when the regional manager called him and complained about deliveries at lunch time. We would run the route in reverse some times so we weren't catching the same stores at lunch rush.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
