Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to another Radio Archive Hour from the Radio Hall
- 0:02Speaker 1: of Fame show of Phil Henry. This is from February
- 0:05Speaker 1: of 2005. It's our grocer, the CEO of Fraser Foods.
- 0:10Speaker 1: The guy's a racist. The guy hates people. The guy
- 0:14Speaker 1: is cheap as hell. Can't hold a girlfriend even though
- 0:17Speaker 1: he's a millionaire. It's the great Bob Green. Your workers
- 0:21Speaker 1: are trying to organize Mr. Green for more insurance.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're trying to organize in an effort to
- 0:27Speaker 2: increase their insurance benefits. I'm not saying we're not looking
- 0:30Speaker 2: at the problem, but we have to see, I think,
- 0:32Speaker 2: better effort out of them productivity-wise, especially on a day
- 0:36Speaker 2: like today where you did have a lot of rain,
- 0:39Speaker 2: and a lot of drivers are going to use that
- 0:41Speaker 2: as an excuse not to get the job done that
- 0:44Speaker 2: we've asked them to do. I know.
- 0:46Speaker 1: What part of the business specifically are you talking so
- 0:48Speaker 1: that our listeners know?
- 0:50Speaker 2: Well, we're a full-service grocery chain. We do a delivery
- 0:54Speaker 2: service for deli items, party items, as well as grocery items,
- 0:57Speaker 2: and it's a very competitive field. So we offer our
- 1:00Speaker 2: customers what we think is a very unique guarantee. We'll
- 1:03Speaker 2: deliver in 30 minutes or less, or they're given their
- 1:07Speaker 2: items for free, and it's part of our customer service
- 1:09Speaker 2: that brings these people back. It also demands a high
- 1:13Speaker 2: level of professionalism and performance from our delivery people.
- 1:16Speaker 1: How many delivery guys do you have per store?
- 1:19Speaker 2: Phil, we run anywhere from two or three per store.
- 1:23Speaker 1: And their work has been, I mean, let's talk straight.
- 1:26Speaker 1: You were saying their work is substandard.
- 1:28Speaker 2: That is our contention, yeah.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Why?
- 1:31Speaker 2: Well, that's where we're contending with the people repping them.
- 1:34Speaker 2: You know, nowadays when it comes to personnel in general,
- 1:37Speaker 2: you do have a traceable productivity drop-off. But in the
- 1:42Speaker 2: delivery field, you know, again, let's take today for an example.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I've got people, my drivers are calling, and now they're
- 1:48Speaker 2: using the weather as an excuse, you know, the wet streets.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Well, but to let people know who are listening around
- 1:54Speaker 1: the country, it's been a very rainy day here in
- 1:55Speaker 1: Los Angeles. The weather has been very wet and very rainy,
- 1:59Speaker 1: and you're talking about guys that are delivering with a
- 2:02Speaker 1: 30-minute or less guarantee.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Well, let me, if I could, Joe, because I've got
- 2:06Speaker 2: 17 years of experience driving. with these kinds of people
- 2:10Speaker 2: and these kinds of issues. I think it's the instinct
- 2:12Speaker 2: of anyone, such as yourself or anyone, to say, oh, well,
- 2:15Speaker 2: they've got a good excuse, it's raining. It is raining.
- 2:18Speaker 2: It's also a fact that I have a guaranteed delivery
- 2:21Speaker 2: in 30 minutes or we take a loss on the items.
- 2:24Speaker 2: That's also a fact. All right, so.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You're telling your drivers you've got to get there, even
- 2:30Speaker 1: though today has been a particularly rough day in terms
- 2:32Speaker 1: of weather, you know. Because I came down the freeway.
- 2:36Speaker 2: There's a lot of different kinds of days where it's rough.
- 2:39Speaker 2: When you have a choice between a paying customer and
- 2:42Speaker 2: an individual who is really kind of indicative of the
- 2:45Speaker 2: kind of worker you have today complaining about the rain.
- 2:49Speaker 2: In other words, you're telling me I'm supposed to pay
- 2:51Speaker 2: that person $ 5 an hour to sit with the windshield
- 2:53Speaker 2: wipers on in traffic smoking a cigarette while a customer
- 2:57Speaker 2: waits for a service.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Well, if the traffic is jammed up and if it's raining...
- 3:03Speaker 1: And he has to make a really, he's got to
- 3:06Speaker 1: make a fast delivery.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but these people don't use what I call a
- 3:09Speaker 2: scanning set. Even in heavy traffic, spaces open up between cars.
- 3:12Speaker 2: If you're smart, you can move into those spaces. You
- 3:14Speaker 2: zigzag your way up the freeway. You get up there
- 3:16Speaker 2: much faster.
- 3:19Speaker 1: But again, in the rain?
- 3:21Speaker 2: Well, you know, you keep bringing up the rain.
- 3:24Speaker 1: All right. I mean, I don't know your business, sir,
- 3:26Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to tell you your business.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Well, you keep bringing up the rain. Let me explain.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I have a customer that I have told I will
- 3:31Speaker 2: get their items to them in 30 minutes or less.
- 3:35Speaker 2: The driver is going to have to find a way
- 3:36Speaker 2: to do that. This is, you know, it's money that
- 3:39Speaker 2: I'm bleeding. And I mean literally bleeding.
- 3:43Speaker 1: But, you know, you make the kind of guarantee... In
- 3:48Speaker 1: the rain, the driver runs the risk of an accident
- 3:50Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. That's why they want more insurance coverage.
- 3:52Speaker 2: That's correct. But in order for that to happen, I'm
- 3:55Speaker 2: going to have to see some what I call old-school driving.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Let me tell you a story. We had a driver once.
- 4:01Speaker 2: His name was Isaac Taylor, and he did what he
- 4:03Speaker 2: had to do.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Like what?
- 4:06Speaker 2: Well, he did what he had to do.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Give me an example.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Well, I mean, he would go down a one-way street
- 4:11Speaker 2: if it was a few hundred yards. He cared about
- 4:13Speaker 2: the employer. He cared about what we did. Right up
- 4:16Speaker 2: here on Ortega Highway, he was delivering deli items. We
- 4:19Speaker 2: have a guarantee. And he respected that. And he got
- 4:23Speaker 2: caught by the CHP. He was waving through traffic. We
- 4:26Speaker 2: paid for the ticket. And I'll tell you something else.
- 4:28Speaker 2: This guy could make 56 deliveries to every two or
- 4:31Speaker 2: three these guys make nowadays.
- 4:33Speaker 1: All right, but you also said that safety is an issue.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Safety is an issue. It's a paramount issue. But I've
- 4:38Speaker 2: got to get these deliveries. I don't care if it's raining.
- 4:41Speaker 2: I don't care if it's a sleet storm or anything.
- 4:43Speaker 2: If there's black ice, you better find a way to
- 4:46Speaker 2: get it delivered, or you don't work for Fraser Foods.
- 4:50Speaker 3: All right?
- 4:51Speaker 2: And I told these drivers, I will pay you what
- 4:54Speaker 2: you're worth, but if you don't get it to where
- 4:56Speaker 2: it's supposed to be, I'm going to leave you where
- 4:58Speaker 2: I find you. Now, we have people, and I've got
- 5:00Speaker 2: drivers who've got, you know, if they had some guts,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and you keep bringing up the rain, the rain is bad,
- 5:07Speaker 2: but it's also bad when I am.
- 5:13Speaker 2: You know, bleeding from a certain part of the body.
- 5:15Speaker 2: And if you want to work for Fraser Foods, I
- 5:17Speaker 2: want to see some deliveries and I want to see
- 5:18Speaker 2: some delivery times. That's why we're having a problem with
- 5:21Speaker 2: the issue with insurance. And for me, Phil, you know,
- 5:27Speaker 2: I go between being very religious and being an atheist.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And one of the reasons why I have settled on
- 5:31Speaker 2: being an atheist is I ask myself what kind of
- 5:34Speaker 2: a God would make it rain on a day like
- 5:39Speaker 2: today when I need to get deliveries out. And the
- 5:42Speaker 2: answer to that question is it must be a pretty vicious, brutal,
- 5:46Speaker 2: and uncaring God. So I don't choose to believe in God.
- 5:49Speaker 2: That's my own personal choice. But when these guys start
- 5:52Speaker 2: crying about the rain, I remember Isaac Taylor. This guy
- 5:54Speaker 2: could make the deliveries.
- 5:56Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to give our phone number, and
- 5:57Speaker 1: I know that you have issues that I don't understand.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I'm not in the grocery business. 1-800-449-8686. Mr. Robert Green
- 6:05Speaker 1: is with us from Fraser Foods, and he's talking about,
- 6:09Speaker 1: the deliveries being slow and not as good as they
- 6:12Speaker 1: used to be and the guys using the weather as
- 6:14Speaker 1: an excuse the guys using the traffic as an excuse
- 6:17Speaker 1: the guys using the unsafe streets as an excuse or
- 6:20Speaker 1: what they call unsafe.
- 6:22Speaker 2: They get you and other people to believe that streets
- 6:23Speaker 2: are unsafe the streets are not unsafe the streets are
- 6:27Speaker 2: wet it's water get in the car make the delivery
- 6:32Speaker 2: or you don't work for Fraser Foods you want more
- 6:35Speaker 2: insurance you can get more insurance But I want to
- 6:38Speaker 2: see productivity. This is the problem that every employer is
- 6:42Speaker 2: having today in America, Phil, if I may speak out
- 6:44Speaker 2: of turn for just a moment.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Well, I want to keep this pretty much on your business.
- 6:48Speaker 2: But let me tell you what every employer in America
- 6:51Speaker 2: is up against. We've got workers out there that are,
- 6:55Speaker 2: for want of a better word, they're a little tender.
- 6:58Speaker 2: They're a little frightened of their own shadows. They don't
- 7:01Speaker 2: want to make a move here. They don't want to
- 7:02Speaker 2: go there. I've got a guy who said, make a delivery.
- 7:06Speaker 2: or I'm going to leave you where I find you.
- 7:07Speaker 2: And he says, well, it's raining today. I said to him,
- 7:10Speaker 2: I understand it's raining, and I'm paying you to... I'm
- 7:14Speaker 2: not paying you five bucks an hour to sit in
- 7:16Speaker 2: traffic with a windshield wiper on so you can listen
- 7:18Speaker 2: to your CD player, the deal that they put on
- 7:20Speaker 2: their head. And a lot of these guys wear their headphones,
- 7:22Speaker 2: so you can't even call them on the cell phone.
- 7:25Speaker 2: So you can sit there and watch windshield wipers go
- 7:27Speaker 2: back and forth.
- 7:30Speaker 4: But.
- 7:31Speaker 1: All right. You're right. You know your business.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Um.
- 7:35Speaker 1: You're paying these guys $ 5 an hour. They're asking for
- 7:37Speaker 1: an increase in their insurance. You guys are talking about this.
- 7:41Speaker 1: You're negotiating it.
- 7:42Speaker 2: That is right, Phil. And as I said, when I
- 7:45Speaker 2: start to see a little bit more productivity out of
- 7:47Speaker 2: these guys, we can start talking about it.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Okay. You don't feel that they are being compromised in
- 7:52Speaker 1: terms of their safety?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Not at all. No, not at all.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Okay. Even if you say, well, you've got to get
- 7:56Speaker 1: it there in 30 minutes or less, or, quote, I'm
- 7:58Speaker 1: going to leave you where I find you, what does
- 7:59Speaker 1: that mean, I'm going to leave you where I find you?
- 8:02Speaker 2: It means you're not going to work for Fraser Foods anymore.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I mean, it's as simple as that. I don't pay
- 8:06Speaker 2: these guys, and I don't offer a guarantee of 30
- 8:09Speaker 2: minutes or less so that I can start bleeding from
- 8:12Speaker 2: a private area of my body so that these guys
- 8:16Speaker 2: can get their insurance, and then I'm still taking a
- 8:19Speaker 2: broom handle. This is not what I call good business.
- 8:24Speaker 1: All right, 1-800-449-8686. We'll take a call here from Angela. Hello, Angela.
- 8:28Speaker 1: You're on The Phil Hendry Show with Robert Green.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Hi there. Hi.
- 8:32Speaker 5: I want to disagree with your caller. I think that
- 8:36Speaker 5: if the only way that he can profitably stay in
- 8:38Speaker 5: business is by asking his drivers to engage in completely
- 8:41Speaker 5: unsafe behavior, that he doesn't deserve to be in business.
- 8:44Speaker 4: No, wait.
- 8:46Speaker 2: I don't know why you get the idea of completely
- 8:48Speaker 2: unsafe behavior.
- 8:50Speaker 5: Well, I think that careening through wet streets, changing lanes,
- 8:52Speaker 5: going the wrong way on one-way streets is absolutely unsafe behavior.
- 8:57Speaker 5: I really would like to know exactly which retail outlets
- 9:00Speaker 5: in the area are yours so that I can make
- 9:01Speaker 5: it a point not to patronize them. I don't want
- 9:03Speaker 5: your drivers anywhere near my neighborhood.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I can understand, ma'am, that you don't understand my business.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I guarantee you that I've been in business for a
- 9:10Speaker 2: long time, and one of the reasons is I care
- 9:12Speaker 2: about you. When you say to me, Mr. Green, I've
- 9:15Speaker 2: got a function today, I need deli items delivered, I
- 9:18Speaker 2: need food delivered, And I've had a problem. Our other
- 9:22Speaker 2: service didn't come through. You know what I'm going to
- 9:24Speaker 2: do for you, Angela? I'm going to get it to you.
- 9:26Speaker 2: I'm going to get it to you.
- 9:28Speaker 5: I'm going to be commuting to work today, and I
- 9:30Speaker 5: want to make it there alive.
- 9:33Speaker 2: What's that got to do with me? I don't understand
- 9:35Speaker 2: her question.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Well, I think she's concerned about this.
- 9:37Speaker 5: Drivers are all over the streets, and they have to
- 9:41Speaker 5: get there in 30 minutes or less, even though streets
- 9:44Speaker 5: are wet.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Let me ask you something. You don't care about my business,
- 9:47Speaker 2: in other words? So if I've got a driver... who
- 9:49Speaker 2: is desperately trying to make a delivery so I don't
- 9:51Speaker 2: start bleeding money. Well, he's desperately trying to make.
- 9:54Speaker 5: A delivery because of your unrealistic... No, ma'am, I... So
- 9:58Speaker 5: you don't... I care about the economy, but I care
- 10:00Speaker 5: about people's lives more.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I didn't hear what the lady said.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Could you say that again, Angela? You dropped out a
- 10:05Speaker 1: little bit.
- 10:06Speaker 5: I care about your business, I care about the economy,
- 10:08Speaker 5: but I care about people's lives more.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Well, what you're doing, then, is you're saying, why don't
- 10:13Speaker 2: I just purposefully get in the way of this driver
- 10:16Speaker 2: and slow him down so Bob Green starts to bleed
- 10:19Speaker 2: some more money? No, I'm not.
- 10:21Speaker 1: No, she didn't say.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I don't want to sport. If I was catering... Look,
- 10:24Speaker 2: if I was catering your wedding and you wanted the.
- 10:29Speaker 2: And you want your pigs in a blanket there on time.
- 10:31Speaker 2: So in other words, what do you want me to
- 10:32Speaker 2: say to you? Well, gee, Angela, I couldn't get it
- 10:34Speaker 2: there because there was a little old lady and she
- 10:38Speaker 2: was going three miles an hour, so I decided to
- 10:40Speaker 2: just sit behind her. Is that it?
- 10:42Speaker 5: I would want you to leave more than 30 minutes
- 10:44Speaker 5: before my wedding and I wouldn't order pigs in a blanket.
- 10:48Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
- 10:49Speaker 5: I wouldn't order pigs in a place, and I would
- 10:51Speaker 5: want you to allow more than 50 minutes to get there.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Well, whatever it is that you order, suppose you call
- 10:56Speaker 2: me with 30 minutes before the wedding starts because you
- 10:59Speaker 2: went with an inferior catering service, which some people do.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Now you expect a miracle out of me. You want
- 11:05Speaker 2: me to miracle my rear end over to your wedding,
- 11:08Speaker 2: but you don't want me to kill anyone.
- 11:09Speaker 1: And of course she doesn't want you to kill anyone.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Of course.
- 11:12Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. Look, I'm not saying I'm going to kill anybody, but...
- 11:17Speaker 2: If I've got to drive on a sidewalk and it
- 11:19Speaker 2: doesn't hurt anyone, how does it hurt you?
- 11:22Speaker 1: Are you telling your drivers to drive up on sidewalks?
- 11:24Speaker 2: I mean, I'm telling them whenever it's safe, yes, you
- 11:27Speaker 2: can go down a one-way street, go on a sidewalk.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Driving on the sidewalk and driving the wrong way on
- 11:32Speaker 5: the one-way street is illegal because of public safety.
- 11:35Speaker 2: But if there's no one on the street and it's
- 11:37Speaker 2: a one-way street, there's nobody there. That's what I'm saying.
- 11:39Speaker 1: All right, Angela, thank you for your call. All right,
- 11:42Speaker 1: thank you. 1-800-449-8686. The number here, we're talking with Robert Greene.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And of Fraser Foods, and your contention basically being that
- 11:48Speaker 1: your workers, your drivers, are not doing the job, and
- 11:51Speaker 1: they're not going to get their insurance.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Phil, they're insured.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I know, but they're not going to get the increase
- 11:55Speaker 1: in coverage they're asking for.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Not until I start seeing what I call some old-school driving,
- 12:02Speaker 2: where that lady, a very nice lady, she all of
- 12:05Speaker 2: a sudden realizes she needs whatever it is she wants,
- 12:08Speaker 2: chips and salsa for her card game, and it's got
- 12:12Speaker 2: to get there. I tell my driver, you better get
- 12:15Speaker 2: it there or I'm going to leave you where I
- 12:17Speaker 2: find you and you'll never work for Frazier Foods again.
- 12:19Speaker 2: You want to work for Frazier Foods, you get it there.
- 12:22Speaker 2: You don't want to work for Frazier Foods, go to
- 12:24Speaker 2: work for Vons, go to work for Kroger's, where they
- 12:27Speaker 2: hold your hand and they pat you on the head
- 12:30Speaker 2: and their service doesn't come anywhere near what I call
- 12:34Speaker 2: the quality breakneck and, yes, at times life-threatening service of
- 12:38Speaker 2: Frazier Foods.
- 12:40Speaker 1: All right, 1-800-449-8686. Robert Green of Fraser Foods in a
- 12:45Speaker 1: dispute with his drivers that you've probably been reading about
- 12:47Speaker 1: in the paper. They want more insurance coverage because they're
- 12:50Speaker 1: asked to make these deliveries fast, even on a day
- 12:53Speaker 1: like today in the Los Angeles area where it is
- 12:56Speaker 1: wet and it's slick and it's dangerous.
- 13:00Speaker 3: 1-800-449-8686.
- 13:01Speaker 1: The world-famous Phil Hendry Show will be right back.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Phil Hendry Show, 1-800-449-8686. Whenever you think of someone.
- 13:06Speaker 2: With hair, think of me, Bob Green.
- 13:36Speaker 4: The Phil Henry Show is back. 1-800-449-8686.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Isaac Taylor was a driver for you, Mr. Green, back
- 13:45Speaker 1: in 1995 when eventually his car and the car of
- 13:50Speaker 1: a family of three people went off of Ortega Highway
- 13:54Speaker 1: and down an embankment. Do you recall that?
- 13:57Speaker 2: I do recall that, Phil. We did settle that case.
- 13:59Speaker 2: And Isaac is being taken care of now by our company.
- 14:06Speaker 2: and that family was in the wrong. California Highway Patrol
- 14:09Speaker 2: determined that.
- 14:11Speaker 1: But he was a driver for you when he and
- 14:14Speaker 1: this family got involved in this accident, which cost the
- 14:17Speaker 1: lives of three people.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I understand that, and I don't believe it's proper of you.
- 14:23Speaker 2: I don't think it's proper of you in the context
- 14:25Speaker 2: of this conversation to even bring that up because, as
- 14:28Speaker 2: I said, the California Highway Patrol thoroughly investigated that. It
- 14:32Speaker 2: was not the fault of our driver. That was determined
- 14:36Speaker 2: not only in a criminal investigation. It was determined during
- 14:39Speaker 2: the civil litigation that that family, while, yes, our driver
- 14:45Speaker 2: was traveling at an excessive rate of speed.
- 14:47Speaker 1: CHP had him at 97 miles an hour.
- 14:50Speaker 2: And you're bringing that up. The Dorff family, by the way,
- 14:56Speaker 2: had a trailer that they were hauling illegally. They had
- 14:59Speaker 2: not put chains on their tires. The fact was that
- 15:02Speaker 2: their automobile had not passed its emission test.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Well, see, here's all this stuff. You see, doesn't it
- 15:07Speaker 1: sound to me like your driver got out of that
- 15:10Speaker 1: because of a technicality on the emission test and chains
- 15:12Speaker 1: on wheels? He ran them off the road. Isn't that correct?
- 15:15Speaker 2: No, that is not correct. And I would ask you
- 15:17Speaker 2: to cease your conversation about this because you are getting
- 15:20Speaker 2: into an area that we consider libelous.
- 15:24Speaker 1: All right, 1-800-449-8686. I'm talking here with Robert Green of
- 15:28Speaker 1: Fraser Foods. about how they guarantee 30 minutes or less
- 15:32Speaker 1: delivery even when it's raining. And the drivers are asking
- 15:37Speaker 1: for more insurance, and you are saying you're not seeing
- 15:39Speaker 1: the kind of driving out of them that you want
- 15:41Speaker 1: to see. You want to see a little bit more
- 15:42Speaker 1: of daring driving, I guess.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Look, I want to see if there's nobody coming down
- 15:47Speaker 2: a one-way street, it's not dangerous. If there's no one
- 15:50Speaker 2: on the sidewalk, it's not dangerous. If you can safely
- 15:54Speaker 2: negotiate your way across a railroad track, if you can
- 15:57Speaker 2: safely negotiate your way driving through a, for instance, a
- 16:02Speaker 2: warehouse or something, then, yes, we ask that they make
- 16:05Speaker 2: those considerations for our customers because they're number one.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Driving through a warehouse? Driving through a private piece of property?
- 16:15Speaker 2: Boy, I'll tell you, you really don't get my business,
- 16:17Speaker 2: do you?
- 16:18Speaker 1: All right, hold on. 1-800-449-8686. The world-famous Phil Henry Show. Julie,
- 16:23Speaker 1: go ahead. You're on the Phil Henry Show.
- 16:26Speaker 4: Hello?
- 16:26Speaker 1: Hi, Julie, go ahead.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Hi.
- 16:29Speaker 7: I'm really fascinated with this guy. I think it's interesting.
- 16:33Speaker 7: I mean, his arguments are interesting, but when you peel
- 16:36Speaker 7: away all the layers and all of his excuses and
- 16:39Speaker 7: all the mumbo-jumbo, he's asking his employees to do something illegal,
- 16:45Speaker 7: and he's requiring.
- 16:47Speaker 3: It of them.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Well, you break the speed limit every day, Julie, and
- 16:50Speaker 2: yet nobody's coming to your house and breaking your you-know-what's
- 16:53Speaker 2: over it.
- 16:54Speaker 7: No, but in order for these people to keep their job,
- 16:58Speaker 7: that's what you're requiring them to do.
- 16:59Speaker 2: In order for you to keep your job, you have
- 17:01Speaker 2: to break the speed limit, I'm sure, on many days. No,
- 17:04Speaker 2: I plan ahead. I got you. I got you. See? No, really.
- 17:08Speaker 7: If I get to work late, I say, guys, I'm sorry,
- 17:11Speaker 7: I got to work.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Late, and that's it.
- 17:12Speaker 2: You break the speed limit every single day of your life. Gotcha.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Well, what do you mean, gotcha?
- 17:17Speaker 7: No, not to make money.
- 17:18Speaker 2: I got her. I got her.
- 17:20Speaker 7: Oh, you don't have me.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. You break the speed limit every day
- 17:23Speaker 2: of your life. I don't really appreciate people laughing at me.
- 17:28Speaker 2: I'm an employer.
- 17:29Speaker 7: Well, you're interrupting me, and you're treating me like a jackass.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Well, you are a little bit of a jackass, or
- 17:34Speaker 2: a Jill-ass, if you will.
- 17:36Speaker 8: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Is that laugh real?
- 17:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
- 17:42Speaker 4: You're hysterical.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's talk here. Your
- 17:47Speaker 1: point is what, Julie? Because I'm not really sure what
- 17:48Speaker 1: it is. And then I'll ask you, Bob.
- 17:50Speaker 2: That's the first smart thing you've said, Mr.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Andrews.
- 17:53Speaker 2: She doesn't have a plan.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And I don't like being said I've only said one
- 17:55Speaker 1: smart thing. I don't like that. Go ahead, Julie.
- 17:59Speaker 7: Well, my point is he's blatantly clear about his employees
- 18:05Speaker 7: doing illegal things, and he supports it, and he requires
- 18:08Speaker 7: it of them.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Your employer requires you. Hold on.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Let her finish.
- 18:12Speaker 7: That in itself is against the law. And you're way
- 18:16Speaker 7: out of bounds, no matter which way you slice it.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Hey, your employer requires you to break the speed limit
- 18:23Speaker 2: in order to get to work every day. No, they don't.
- 18:26Speaker 7: And even if they did, they would never be stupid
- 18:29Speaker 7: enough to say that.
- 18:30Speaker 2: No, they don't.
- 18:32Speaker 3: They require me to.
- 18:33Speaker 7: Get there when I get there. That means I have
- 18:35Speaker 7: to wake up at 7 o'clock and get ready and
- 18:38Speaker 7: take into account traffic and all that stuff.
- 18:41Speaker 3: I have to plan.
- 18:41Speaker 2: You're waking up at 7 o'clock? I'm at the job.
- 18:45Speaker 2: At 7 o'clock. Thank you. That's your job.
- 18:47Speaker 6: How do you like me now?
- 18:49Speaker 8: That's not mine.
- 18:49Speaker 2: I'm a pharmacist.
- 18:50Speaker 7: I don't have to be there until 9. It takes
- 18:52Speaker 7: me 20 minutes to get there. I plan for it
- 18:55Speaker 7: every day.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. By the way, please try not to
- 18:58Speaker 2: put any wrong medication in those bottles again, Julie.
- 19:02Speaker 5: I don't.
- 19:04Speaker 8: You know, I don't know.
- 19:04Speaker 2: I don't live.
- 19:05Speaker 7: Anywhere near you.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Hold on. I've got to get to another call.
- 19:08Speaker 2: She says she's a pharmacist. Have you ever waited for
- 19:10Speaker 2: medication in a pharmacy where those people take their sweet time?
- 19:13Speaker 2: Not us. We don't do that.
- 19:15Speaker 7: Somebody's waiting for life-threatening medication that.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Would help them from a psychotic reaction. And she sits there,
- 19:21Speaker 2: taking her time, counting out the pills.
- 19:23Speaker 7: You're wrong, and you know it, and you've got a
- 19:25Speaker 7: lawsuit on your hands.
- 19:27Speaker 2: No, I'm not wrong. I got you. I got you.
- 19:29Speaker 9: I got you, too.
- 19:30Speaker 2: No, I got you, because you're the one that's counting
- 19:32Speaker 2: out the anti-psychotic pills, and some guy's about ready to
- 19:35Speaker 2: slit an old lady's throat, and you're taking your time
- 19:37Speaker 2: counting out the pills. Way to go.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Oh, man.
- 19:39Speaker 1: All right, look.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Mr. Henry, I would ask you not to put anyone
- 19:44Speaker 2: like that on the phone with me again. I don't
- 19:46Speaker 2: like women laughing at me. All right, I understand.
- 19:50Speaker 1: She said something very good. She said the employer doesn't
- 19:54Speaker 1: ask her to break the speed limit.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Well, that is, it doesn't matter. Every employer expects their
- 20:01Speaker 2: people to break the speed limit.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Robert Green is my guest. He operates, among other things,
- 20:06Speaker 1: a delivery service from his grocery chain where he expects
- 20:09Speaker 1: the delivery to be made 30 minutes or less, even
- 20:12Speaker 1: in the rain. His employees want more insurance money. He's
- 20:15Speaker 1: not giving it until he sees some better driving.
- 20:16Speaker 7: 1-800-449-8686.
- 20:17Speaker 1: The Phil Hendry Show.
- 20:17Speaker 6: 1-800-449-8686.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Talk Radio's Speed Trap.
- 20:58Speaker 4: The Phil Henry Show is back. 1-800-449-8686.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Tell the story to my audience if you believe it's
- 21:05Speaker 1: that significant. We have Robert Green, the CEO of Fraser Foods,
- 21:08Speaker 1: on with us, talking about his drivers wanting more insurance
- 21:10Speaker 1: coverage for delivering. He guarantees a 30-minute delivery, even if
- 21:14Speaker 1: it's raining, even if, as you said, even if there's
- 21:17Speaker 1: black ice.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you about Isaac Taylor, Phil, before
- 21:20Speaker 2: I forget. You're right, Isaac was involved in a very
- 21:24Speaker 2: tragic accident on Ortega Highway. A family of three did
- 21:27Speaker 2: lose their lives. Isaac is the kind of guy who
- 21:33Speaker 2: keeps his eye on the goal. And I don't know
- 21:36Speaker 2: if this is right or wrong. I can't tell you
- 21:38Speaker 2: if this is right or wrong, but this is one
- 21:39Speaker 2: of the reasons why we valued him. He made that delivery,
- 21:44Speaker 2: even though there was an automobile at the bottom of
- 21:46Speaker 2: that canyon with a gasoline fire.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Well, did he call the police? Did he call an
- 21:54Speaker 1: emergency services? What did he do? In other words, I
- 21:58Speaker 1: can understand if he's going to make the delivery.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I don't know what he did. I just know he
- 22:02Speaker 2: made that delivery. And then he came back, and when
- 22:05Speaker 2: the police arrived, he was there. He was looking at it.
- 22:08Speaker 2: But I feel that while I said to him, you
- 22:11Speaker 2: shouldn't have done that. You should have immediately called the police.
- 22:14Speaker 2: He said, well, Mr. Green, I'm just... And he said
- 22:16Speaker 2: it in a way that, you know, the old black
- 22:18Speaker 2: guys do. He said, Mr. Green, I'm just, you know,
- 22:21Speaker 2: very grateful for the job.
- 22:24Speaker 1: The way the old black guys do.
- 22:25Speaker 2: No, what I mean is he was very, you know, grateful.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Boy, I'll tell you something. There's a car at the
- 22:33Speaker 1: bottom of a canyon on fire, and he doesn't even,
- 22:36Speaker 1: were there cell phones then?
- 22:39Speaker 2: I don't know. He had one of the old brick
- 22:41Speaker 2: phones that we would contact him on, but I'm sure
- 22:43Speaker 2: back then you couldn't get 911. I don't think they
- 22:46Speaker 2: had operators or anything.
- 22:49Speaker 1: All right, 1-800-449-8686. Brian, go ahead. You're on the Phil
- 22:54Speaker 1: Henry Show with Robert Green.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Hi, Robert.
- 22:57Speaker 9: I'm a truck driver.
- 22:59Speaker 1: I'm going to put you on hold. Your cell phone's
- 23:02Speaker 1: breaking up, dude. Hold on for a minute. Let's go
- 23:04Speaker 1: over to Nick. Hello, Nick. You're on the Phil Henry Show.
- 23:07Speaker 9: Hello, Robert.
- 23:08Speaker 6: I'm a college student with a business major. I'm just
- 23:10Speaker 6: wanting to say that people, I'm pro-big business, but people
- 23:13Speaker 6: like you give a bad name to everybody else. Because
- 23:17Speaker 6: I'm taking ethics classes right now. What you're saying is, what,
- 23:20Speaker 6: for you to make an extra dollar, it's not your
- 23:22Speaker 6: problem that you're putting everybody else in danger. Don't take
- 23:25Speaker 6: yourself out of existence. Because if I was speeding to work, okay,
- 23:29Speaker 6: trying to get to work, you don't care that I
- 23:30Speaker 6: get to work ten minutes late. But if I kill
- 23:32Speaker 6: your family, your kids, okay, you would care. You don't
- 23:36Speaker 6: care because you're saying it's not your problem.
- 23:38Speaker 2: No, wait a minute. I'm saying my family and my children,
- 23:41Speaker 2: my wife, know. When a man's on his way to work, brother,
- 23:45Speaker 2: you get out of his way. We value the working
- 23:47Speaker 2: man in our family. And I tell my wife that
- 23:49Speaker 2: if you get into an automobile accident with a trucker,
- 23:52Speaker 2: let's take truckers. These guys work for a living, and
- 23:54Speaker 2: they're hardworking guys. I tell her, you know what? He
- 23:57Speaker 2: was doing his job. You get into a, you know,
- 23:59Speaker 2: what are you going to do?
- 24:01Speaker 6: You're going to, you can't, you're not bringing the food
- 24:04Speaker 6: to yourself. You don't understand how it would feel like
- 24:07Speaker 6: to lose somebody. Three people lost their lives. Probably because
- 24:10Speaker 6: of your driver and his speed limit.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Wait a minute. That was cleared.
- 24:14Speaker 6: Look, I can't... I don't know why you run your company,
- 24:18Speaker 6: but it's unethical.
- 24:19Speaker 2: You can't run your.
- 24:20Speaker 6: For you to make an extra $ 10, I don't... I'd
- 24:22Speaker 6: rather your drivers drive safe. Personally, my driving record's not
- 24:26Speaker 6: the best. But that's not... You know.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Well, let me ask him. Let me ask him. As
- 24:31Speaker 2: a business major and as a young man who will
- 24:32Speaker 2: be going into the business world, and I've been in
- 24:34Speaker 2: the business world for 23 years, don't you feel... that
- 24:38Speaker 2: that is a laudable thing, that our driver at least
- 24:40Speaker 2: made the delivery? He got the stuff, yeah. Three people died. Yes,
- 24:45Speaker 2: there was a horrible, horrible.
- 24:46Speaker 6: What's more valuable, your stupid food or their lives?
- 24:50Speaker 2: My stupid food is my stupid business, Mr. Business Major,
- 24:53Speaker 2: and now I know what you think of business.
- 24:55Speaker 6: You're saying it's not your business how your employees act.
- 25:01Speaker 6: Why don't you drive the food?
- 25:03Speaker 2: Sir, I have a big business. I can't just drive
- 25:06Speaker 2: the food myself. I've got three drivers in the store.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I'm not saying it was a good thing that the
- 25:10Speaker 2: Dorff family lost their lives. I'm saying the good news came.
- 25:14Speaker 2: At least there's one piece of good news out of
- 25:16Speaker 2: the whole thing. He delivered the deli platter.
- 25:18Speaker 8: It's irrelevant.
- 25:19Speaker 6: The people lost their lives. Your delivery becomes irrelevant. You're
- 25:23Speaker 6: not putting it in perspective to everything else.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Absolutely. The delivery no longer has any meaning. in the
- 25:29Speaker 1: deaths of three people.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Well, I don't look at things that way, and that's
- 25:32Speaker 2: why I'm a successful businessman, and that's why I think
- 25:34Speaker 2: this young man needs to understand it. What would you prefer?
- 25:38Speaker 2: Let me ask you something, son. What do you prefer?
- 25:40Speaker 2: Fresh fruit or fruit that's been thrown around in a
- 25:45Speaker 2: vacant lot? You want fresh fruit.
- 25:48Speaker 6: And having ten people lose their lives for that fresh
- 25:51Speaker 6: fruit to get there.
- 25:52Speaker 2: No, it wasn't ten. It wasn't ten. It was three
- 25:54Speaker 2: people that died.
- 25:55Speaker 6: Well, no, but you're... Well, I.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Mean, come on, three people, ten people. My God, it
- 26:01Speaker 1: was an entire family wiped out, a husband, a wife,
- 26:04Speaker 1: and a kid.
- 26:05Speaker 6: Have you ever heard that if a thousand people lose
- 26:08Speaker 6: their lives, it's a statistic? If one person loses their life,
- 26:10Speaker 6: it's a tragedy? Have you ever heard of that?
- 26:12Speaker 2: Well, Nick, that's one of the things. Coming out of college,
- 26:15Speaker 2: you've got a lot of slogans. Get into business, and
- 26:17Speaker 2: you'll have a lot of experience.
- 26:18Speaker 3: I know it's a cultural world.
- 26:19Speaker 6: All right, that's not the point, but I don't condone
- 26:22Speaker 6: unethical actions to make a couple extra dollars.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Well, unethical I think is pretty rough. I think it's
- 26:27Speaker 2: pretty rough. I think you're putting it to me pretty
- 26:30Speaker 2: hard without any real tenderness to say that it's unethical.
- 26:36Speaker 6: Unethical is being nice.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Well, I don't think you're being tender.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Well, what does tenderness have to do with it when
- 26:41Speaker 1: three people are dead? Nick, thank you for your call.
- 26:43Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Doris, you're on the line with Robert Green of Fraser Foods.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Well, good evening.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
- 26:53Speaker 3: I am so disgusted with this businessman.
- 26:56Speaker 2: I tell my drivers you.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Won't want to prefer your food. I want to suggest
- 27:01Speaker 3: to everyone listening that they do not, not go into
- 27:06Speaker 3: his stores and certainly not buy his service in any way, size, shape,
- 27:11Speaker 3: or form. He is endangering so many lives. How dare
- 27:17Speaker 3: he do this to his driver?
- 27:18Speaker 2: Why do you put on that phony accent? What's with
- 27:21Speaker 2: the phony accent?
- 27:22Speaker 1: What do you mean the phony accent?
- 27:24Speaker 8: No, she's trying to cut.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Off like Mrs.
- 27:25Speaker 8: Howell.
- 27:27Speaker 2: What are you, Mrs. Howell on the Gilligan's Island deal?
- 27:29Speaker 3: You are the most disgusting creature on God's earth. Hold on,
- 27:35Speaker 3: hold on. No, your business needs to be shut down.
- 27:39Speaker 3: And it needs to be coming from your customers.
- 27:42Speaker 8: Ma'am, I'm an American businessman. American businessmen are successful today
- 27:48Speaker 8: because we full steam ahead.
- 27:53Speaker 2: We don't do what the British do, which is to
- 27:55Speaker 2: sit around and get permission. We don't get permission to
- 27:58Speaker 2: do business in this country, ma'am. We go right out
- 28:01Speaker 2: and do it. Well, you're not going to put me
- 28:02Speaker 2: out of business.
- 28:02Speaker 3: You are not a human being.
- 28:04Speaker 2: In any way. I'm not a human being? Well, if
- 28:05Speaker 2: I'm not, I'm a rich non-human being, I'll tell you that.
- 28:07Speaker 3: There you go. You're a rich non-human being.
- 28:10Speaker 9: That's what you put.
- 28:11Speaker 3: That's the value you put on your drivers and your customers.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Hey, why do you think America's number one in business today?
- 28:18Speaker 2: Because we didn't sit around like you British waiting for
- 28:21Speaker 2: permission to do stuff. We go ahead, full steam ahead,
- 28:24Speaker 2: and we get it done. Three people die. It's a tragedy.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I'm sorry. What do you want me to do?
- 28:29Speaker 3: I am going to suggest again.
- 28:31Speaker 2: That everyone who puts.
- 28:34Speaker 3: You out of business, and I'm going to, any time
- 28:36Speaker 3: I see one of your vans creating an infraction of
- 28:40Speaker 3: any size, shape, or form, the cops are going to know.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Doris, this is Phil Hendry. Now, hold on. Now, she
- 28:45Speaker 1: is saying there's going to be a, she would organize
- 28:48Speaker 1: a customer boycott.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Well, number one, our vans are not marked, so she
- 28:52Speaker 2: won't know it's us.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Number two, wait a minute.
- 28:55Speaker 3: You think that all the listeners are stupid?
- 28:59Speaker 2: Well, apparently, no, just you. You're the only one that's stupid.
- 29:02Speaker 3: You know, this man is beyond it, Bill. This man
- 29:04Speaker 3: is totally beyond it.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Well, what do you mean if you see our vans?
- 29:08Speaker 3: I'm going to organize a boycott of your stores and
- 29:11Speaker 3: all your services.
- 29:13Speaker 2: First, you ought to be able to organize a ball movement.
- 29:15Speaker 1: All right, that is unnecessary.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Hey, look, ain't it tea time or something?
- 29:20Speaker 1: Look, you know, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am.
- 29:22Speaker 3: I'm not going to be insulted anymore.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I understand.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I think this man is not a human being. He's
- 29:27Speaker 3: the slime of the earth.
- 29:29Speaker 8: But thank you for listening.
- 29:30Speaker 1: I think it's an.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Example of why we let people into this country.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Look, this is not an immigration question, sir. The lady
- 29:38Speaker 1: had a point she wanted to make, all right?
- 29:40Speaker 2: She wants her bangers and mash fresh. She had better
- 29:44Speaker 2: understand that Frazier Foods delivers in 30 minutes or less,
- 29:48Speaker 2: or I start bleeding like I took a broom handle.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I hear you. 1-800-449-8686. Robert Green of Fraser Foods locked
- 29:58Speaker 1: in a dispute with his drivers. He does not want
- 30:00Speaker 1: to pay the extra insurance until he starts seeing some

- 30:54Speaker 1: You got to make a delivery?
- 30:55Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm talking about. One of my drivers
- 30:57Speaker 2: didn't show up, so we've got to get out and
- 30:59Speaker 2: get a delivery made.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, I've got two police officers
- 31:03Speaker 1: hanging on the line here. I'm going to go to
- 31:04Speaker 1: Paul here. Paul is a 23-year Los Angeles Police Department veteran. Paul,
- 31:09Speaker 1: welcome to our program. Paul, you there?
- 31:12Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm here.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Okay. You're the police officer, sir?
- 31:16Speaker 9: Right, actually, I just retired. I've got twice as much
- 31:19Speaker 9: time on the job as this guy's got in business,
- 31:21Speaker 9: 34 years.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Okay.
- 31:23Speaker 9: Wait a minute.
- 31:25Speaker 2: What's a cop got to do with what I do
- 31:27Speaker 2: for a living?
- 31:28Speaker 9: Oh, buddy, I've got everything to do. Just hang on
- 31:29Speaker 9: and listen to my story for a second, if you
- 31:31Speaker 9: can keep your mouth shut, just for five seconds.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a cop.
- 31:36Speaker 9: First of all, what you've done, sir, on this program,
- 31:38Speaker 9: I want to thank you for it, is you've created
- 31:41Speaker 9: a lawsuit waiting to happen. When, and I don't say if,
- 31:45Speaker 9: but when one of your drivers, due to some unsafe
- 31:52Speaker 9: driving tactics that he's been hammered into his head that
- 31:54Speaker 9: he must do to get there, creates a traffic accident
- 31:58Speaker 9: that causes one, two, or three of these deaths that
- 32:01Speaker 9: you don't seem to be too concerned about, You're going
- 32:05Speaker 9: to make somebody very, very rich. They're going to make
- 32:08Speaker 9: somebody very, very rich. They are going to own whatever
- 32:11Speaker 9: the company it is you own.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Well, that's why you're a cop. You don't know anything
- 32:14Speaker 2: about the law. Well, what is that.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Supposed to mean? He knows about the law.
- 32:18Speaker 9: First of all, what you don't want to do is
- 32:20Speaker 9: get into a debate with me about the law.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Well, the other thing is this.
- 32:23Speaker 9: The other thing is this. Everyone has an obligation.
- 32:27Speaker 2: My drivers are sworn. Who is going to talk here?
- 32:30Speaker 1: All right, hold on, gentlemen. Just hold on for a minute, gentlemen.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Hold on, this is a police officer talking. What do
- 32:35Speaker 1: you mean about the law?
- 32:36Speaker 2: I mean civil law. I mean when it comes to
- 32:38Speaker 2: going into a civil claims court, he's out of his league.
- 32:42Speaker 1: All right, let the gentleman finish his comments, Mr. Green,
- 32:45Speaker 1: because we've given you almost an hour.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Okay, but if you want to sit here and, you know,
- 32:49Speaker 2: make me just sit here and have to bite a
- 32:51Speaker 2: towel while these people beat me up. No, no, no.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 32:53Speaker 9: Let me ask you something, sir. Have you heard of
- 32:55Speaker 9: a company called Domino's Pizza?
- 32:58Speaker 2: Domino's Pizza?
- 32:58Speaker 9: Have you ever heard of Domino's Pizza? Have you ever
- 33:00Speaker 9: heard of them, sir? Have you ever heard of Domino's Pizza?
- 33:04Speaker 9: It's a simple question.
- 33:08Speaker 2: It's a pizza company. Is that correct?
- 33:09Speaker 9: Excuse me. I just asked for a yes or no answer.
- 33:12Speaker 9: You want to know the law? Just pretend like I'm
- 33:13Speaker 9: a lawyer. Yes or no, sir.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Have you heard of Domino's Pizza? You pretend like I'm
- 33:18Speaker 2: Marilyn Monroe. I'll tell you what.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Answer the man's question. Have you heard of Domino's Pizza?
- 33:25Speaker 2: Have I heard of Domino's Pizza? Is that his question? Yes, sir. Okay,
- 33:33Speaker 2: I'm racking my brain.
- 33:35Speaker 9: Obviously, I'm racking my brain.
- 33:37Speaker 1: You've never heard of Domino's?
- 33:40Speaker 9: Do you remember Domino's Pizza? Their famous thing was what?
- 33:44Speaker 9: 30 minutes or less. Is that not correct? You don't know.
- 33:48Speaker 2: You're asking me. I don't know the company. You don't know.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I came up with the 30-minute or less guarantee. I
- 33:52Speaker 2: know that.
- 33:53Speaker 9: Oh, excuse me, sir. You were way behind Domino's Pizza
- 33:56Speaker 9: when it came up to 30 minutes or less.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Domino's Pizza, anyway.
- 33:59Speaker 9: Sir, excuse me.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I don't know Domino's Pizza from a boil on my
- 34:03Speaker 2: rear end, okay? I came up with the 30 minutes
- 34:05Speaker 2: or less guarantee. All right, let's just say... Let me
- 34:07Speaker 2: tell you something.
- 34:08Speaker 9: Domino's Pizza is a billion-dollar corporation, and yours is probably
- 34:12Speaker 9: a $ 2 organization the way you run it. But what
- 34:15Speaker 9: I'm trying to tell you is, sir, they were sued
- 34:18Speaker 9: for exactly what you're doing, telling their drivers they must
- 34:22Speaker 9: be there in 30 minutes or less. It costs them
- 34:25Speaker 9: so much in litigation fees. Win or lose the litigation.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to see your source material on that.
- 34:31Speaker 9: The source material, sir, it's mitigated law. You don't have
- 34:35Speaker 9: to be a brain surgeon.
- 34:37Speaker 2: Did this make the news?
- 34:38Speaker 9: Excuse me?
- 34:39Speaker 2: Did this make the news?
- 34:41Speaker 9: Make the news?
- 34:43Speaker 1: Please.
- 34:44Speaker 9: You're kidding.
- 34:45Speaker 1: You've never heard of Domino's Pizza, Mr.
- 34:46Speaker 4: Green.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Domino's Pizza is an enormous chain pizza delivery company, not unlike,
- 34:51Speaker 1: you know, the others. And they were sued, and they lost. And,
- 34:56Speaker 1: you know.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Well, how many pies were they delivering? Because I bet
- 34:59Speaker 2: you we got them beat. How many pies did they
- 35:00Speaker 2: do a day?
- 35:02Speaker 1: How many pies did they do a day? We're talking
- 35:04Speaker 1: all over America.
- 35:05Speaker 2: All over.
- 35:06Speaker 9: I cannot believe, sir, that you've not heard of Domino's Pizza.
- 35:09Speaker 2: I just can't... Anyway... Look, I can't... I never... I
- 35:12Speaker 2: never heard of you either, so what difference does it make?
- 35:14Speaker 9: Okay, let me just tell you one other thing. One
- 35:17Speaker 9: of these pizza companies, and it was not Domino's Pizza,
- 35:20Speaker 9: thank God, was in such a rush because everybody, there's
- 35:23Speaker 9: a tremendous competition. When I was working acid investigation back
- 35:27Speaker 9: in the early 70s.
- 35:28Speaker 2: I like this guy telling me the restaurant business. I
- 35:30Speaker 2: just love it.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Will you let the man finish, please?
- 35:33Speaker 9: You know, you're about a rude individual, sir.
- 35:35Speaker 2: No, I just want to, was it Fincross, Presbyterian, or what?
- 35:37Speaker 9: I'm just trying to tell you something from my experience....
- 35:41Speaker 2: As a pizza delivery guy or as a cop?
- 35:44Speaker 1: As a police officer.
- 35:47Speaker 9: Boy, this guy is really rude.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. Are they the guys
- 35:49Speaker 2: that do the four cheese? That's all I want to know.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Are they the guys that do the four cheese? Because
- 35:52Speaker 2: then I've heard of them if they do the four cheese.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Who?
- 35:55Speaker 2: Domino's. Do they do the four cheese?
- 35:57Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 35:58Speaker 9: I don't know. I don't eat pizza very much. Just
- 36:00Speaker 9: listen to what I'm telling you. A pizza delivery, and
- 36:02Speaker 9: it wasn't Domino's, but a pizza delivery kid that was
- 36:05Speaker 9: trying to beat The Domino's 30-minute thing, because that's what
- 36:09Speaker 9: Domino's kind of set the standard at that time. He
- 36:12Speaker 9: ran across a railroad crossing, threw, and tried to beat.
- 36:17Speaker 2: A red light. I'd hire that kid.
- 36:19Speaker 9: Okay.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Fine.
- 36:20Speaker 9: You don't have to hire him anymore, sir, because he
- 36:22Speaker 9: burned up in his vehicle. Another car.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Excuse me, sir. You know what? Then I wouldn't hire him.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Excuse me, sir.
- 36:30Speaker 9: Let me explain something to you.
- 36:33Speaker 2: Not only did this young man die.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Will you let this guy finish?
- 36:36Speaker 2: Jesus. You know what?
- 36:38Speaker 9: Not only did this young man die, three other people
- 36:41Speaker 9: died in two other cars. Because this young man had
- 36:45Speaker 9: to make his delivery as quickly as possible.
- 36:48Speaker 2: And you can't see where that young man, at least
- 36:50Speaker 2: he burned with dignity.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Oh, my.
- 36:53Speaker 8: All right.
- 36:53Speaker 9: Let me tell you something.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Paul, I've got to break. I've got to break.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Well, this guy, you know, if he wants to tell
- 36:58Speaker 2: me about Winchell's, maybe I'll listen.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Just hold on.
- 37:01Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show.
- 37:01Speaker 7: 1-800-449-8686.
- 37:01Speaker 1: When was your last workshop inhalation?
- 37:02Speaker 4: These are the questions I ask myself.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 37:38Speaker 4: The Phil Henry Show is back.
- 37:40Speaker 3: 1-800-449-8686.
- 37:40Speaker 4: All right, Robert Green.
- 37:44Speaker 1: You still with me?
- 37:46Speaker 2: Phil, right now I am traveling at a very high
- 37:48Speaker 2: rate of speed. We're trying to get pizzas delivered because I...
- 37:51Speaker 2: Not pizzas, but I have to ask that cop about pizzas.
- 37:55Speaker 2: But I'm traveling at an extremely high rate of speed
- 37:58Speaker 2: to get our deli platter out because I had a
- 38:00Speaker 2: driver call up and say, I'm afraid to drive. It's raining. See,
- 38:05Speaker 2: this is the kind of candy ass that I will
- 38:08Speaker 2: not abide. I can tell you right now, Phil, for
- 38:10Speaker 2: all of my money.
