    We are not your pizza delivery

    So a CW dealt with this group of five guys the other night.

    Apparently, we have "no customer service." Why?

    Because they wanted us to take our 16-person shuttle bus (not the most fuel-efficient vehicle, mind you) and not drive them anywhere, but drive solo 45 minutes away to pick up pizza and then drive it back for them.

    The pizza they wanted is from a cheap, greasy pizza joint attached to a tap house, and indeed alcohol is recommended in order to properly consume such a pizza (I have ordered from there many times myself). There's a better quality place locally that actually delivers to the resort, but that just wouldn't do.

    What is unique about this specific place is that they make these extremely over-priced 26" pizzas that are so huge, you have to tilt the box just to get it through the door. The group of 5 thought they were going to eat four of these by themselves, and wanted us to pick it up for them. (FTR, I have ordered one of these for a housewarming party, and six of us didn't even finish off that one.)

    They were told hell no, though in more polite terms. And apparently, we are just the worst for it.

    I don't even think that a taxi would do this.
    Were they snippy about it?

      The company I drive for used to, until some joker ordered twenty pizzas and were not to be found anywhere when the driver arrived with the pizzas and the bill.
      The manager paid for the ride and pizzas out of his own pocket and send an invitation out on the radio to come by the office and have a free slice, so it had a happy ending. Still, that was the end of that service.
      There are so many fast-food places who deliver nowadays anyway, the only thing we pay for and bring out now is medicine.

        That's what places like Takeout Taxi are for o_O This sort of thing is explicitly what they do...for a fee, of course

        People would occasionally send TT to my old pizza joint even though we delivered -- presumably they were out of ANY delivery area, which is usually either means they are in one of those "Only Domino's delivers there" areas.

          I don't think I've ever heard of that in SmallSouthernTown, USA.

            Don't tell me, let me guess: They had the munchies.
            Being high would also explain why they thought that request was reasonable.
            I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

              OK, now their request makes sense...well, sort of...

                  I'd be thinking you get there and Oh look, the pizzas need paid for!
