Why I hung up on the pizza guy
- Customer Service (CS): Thank you for choosing XXX Pizza, would you like try our Fantastic Friday Special?
- Me: No, I actually...
- CS: It comes with a free order of "Nutso" Bread, an extra large Supreme pizza, and your choice of Caesar or garden salad. It's a limited time offer, and it only costs $22.99.
- Me: No thanks, I think I know...
- CS: Is this for delivery or takeout?
- Me: It depends. How long is the wait?
- CS: It depends.
- (Awkward silence, broken by grumbling stomach.)
- Me: How about right now. How long is the wait for delivery versus pickup?
- CS: Pickup is always faster.
- Me: I know, but if it's going to be less than 40 minutes, I'd rather just wait here than drive all the way out there.
- CS: If you pick it up, we can have it ready it 20 minutes.
- Me: It takes me twenty minutes to get there, and twenty back, then I'm looking at 40 minutes, you see.
- CS: It takes the delivery driver the same amount of time to get there as it would for you. We don't drive twice as fast.
- Me: Yes, I know but...(Googling other pizza places)...how much is it for just a medium pizza with pepperoni, olives and fresh tomatoes?
- CS: What do you mean fresh tomatoes?
- Me: You put them on after it comes out of the oven instead of before...
- CS: It's $7.49 for a plain cheese and $.99 for all the toppings. Sliced tomatoes are extra.
- Me: End communication.
- CS: What?
