the perils of ordereing a pizza 5 blocks away!

[savage_beagle]

hi...i ordered a pizza from the pizza joint 5 blocks away. THIS WAS TONITE. sooooooooo...i ordered and told the girl my phone number and address..and i said it loud and clear...twice. Also, i mentioned i could pick it up since i am 5 blocks away (twice), she said no difference..pizza will be 30 mins regardless. 55 MINS..NO PIZZA..BUT A STUNNED ASSWIPE driver phoning me for directions..he was in the opposite end of town...5 miles away....looking for my house! after another 10 mins..i get a cold pizza...usually i wont bitch if unless extraordinary bad service (dont give a shit if you are the pope giving me a wafer...miss my mouth and i'll call you a dumb cunt)...but i was at least expecting warmish pizza..from a pizza joint 5 blocks away!!!!!!!!!! Anyways..i kept cool..i tipped the guy...he left..i went and had a slice of my pizza colder then a penguins bum. Then i phoned the pizza joint..explained what happened..i got another free pizza, piping hot that i burnt the roof of my tongue. I left it goooo on a classy way...i wrote a note thanking the manager for taking care of this minor situation so quickly..mentioned i be in next time ordering up their roasted lamb, with friends, and booze. PLUS.. I mentioned my very own cousin delivered pizza from their resraurant back in the 80's, and i was one of the original guys who ate there going back 25 years ago (true). This was just my long winded saying to you...''always be positive and look for the solution, dont look at the problem''....ok..i got pizza to eat.---hell..i got to pizzas to eat...good thing i didnt bitch about the garlic bread that came cold also. :lol: :lol: :lol:

mmm pizza...now you're making me hungry 8)..i'm not sure what i find more difficult...the phone call to order...or walking into the store to pick it up...i suppose the call is easier :wink:

Funny post :lol:

Anyway i think it was really good what you did. I don't think i would do what you did. I mean at the video shop the other day, he said that i rented a movie that i never did. He insisted that i did and i "must return it right away". I couldn't take it anymore, i just yelled in his face that i'll never return something i never took and he can call the police and the UN then his mother if time permits!

Good job and thanks for the nice topic.

i didnt part the sea, just ordered a pizza!

hi spectacular! In the past, in my younger days, i most likely would have gotten angry and told off the order taker...or whoever was giving me an extra hard time. I am a mature adult, and we have to think before we speak...the same guy that manages the pizza place, the pizza driver and the cook...could of easily felt insulted if i just demanded a new fresh pizza..and took turns rolling their testicals on my pizza dough, then add an extra pizza topping of spit. So i decided to just phone and be reasonable...they sympathyzed and agreed a fresh one would be sent out as quickly as can...end of story. Many times i have to remind myself that if you wish to be seen and heard as an adult...then act like one. When i learned to calm my mind and think with intelligence...suddenly people responded to me in a much much better way. TRUE ..that in life not everything goes smooth and perfect for us...that life is unfair sometimes...this pizza thing was a small igsignificant matter...and one way to look at it is this= what if this is another of GOD'S TEST, to see if i choose to do the right thing..or be an arrogant asshole and be self righteous. I choose to think smart and with the right actions...i hope GOD forgives me for my past indescretions . thanks, enjoy your coming week ahead.
