I am putting this little ditty here but if the Mods feel it should go else were......
Last Friday night I get an order to a regular not that far from the store. Usually some late teenage who is mostly pretty chill. I get to the house and ring the doorbell. I hear the door locks and the door opens. I was expecting the usual teenager but to my surprise the door is opened by a 2 or 3 year old.
Now this itself is not all that unusual as an adult is usually right behind them or is a short distance away. I get it the kids know the pizza man is here and all of that BUT this still happens way to often IMO.
The child now opens the screen door. I full expect an older person to show up any moment. I wait and I wait and I wait. No adult. now at this point I am slowly moving away from the door because I do NOT want to be anywhere near this child for VERY good reasons. I ask the child to please get their Mom or Dad. The child just says HI and still holds the screen door open with much determination. I ask the child again to get their parent. HI.
OK I back away from the door and head back to my car. I call the number on the ticket. no answer leave my standard voice mail message. Text the number my standard pizza text message. no response. The child is still holding the screen door open. I have now been at the address for around 5 minutes. I call my MOD for advice as my first inclination is to call the cops. MOD suggests yelling into the door to see if anyone is there. I do so and again ask the child to get their parent.
NO answer my MOD says just come back to the store although I still thought about calling the non emergency police number.
last I checked no one called and complained they did not get their order NOR did anyone return my call/text.
