So, at my Pizza Hut store, we have a regular old lady that usually calls up and gets the same thing delivered at least once a week. We all know her, and what she wants, and she's actually the grandma of an ex-employee.
Anyway, I have two little stories that just make me laugh, about two seperate times she's called up and been a little confused.
The first time, she called up and my manager answered the call. He's placed the order, and I took it out to her retirement village unit, handed it over, and got the money. Once I was back in the store, my manager has come up to me giggling, saying that she'd just called back. The conversation went like this -
Lady: I ordered a BBQ chicken
Manager: Yes, isn't that what we made for you?
Lady: No, you gave me a pizza. I wanted a BBQ chicken!
Manager: *Blink*
She actually wanted a whole chicken, not a pizza, and couldn't understand why we couldn't give her one. Funnily enough, our shop is next door to a chicken shop, but still.
Second funny story with the same lady involved me and the same manager, and again he took the call. He hung up, turn to me, and said -
Manager: She's really starting to lose it
Me: Why?
Manager: She just rang up and wanted an omlette.
Me: WTF?
And sure enough, when I took her order out to her (she'd settled for her usual order), she seemed rather disappointed.
Lady: All I wanted was an omlette, but he said I couldn't have one
Me: Yeah, we only sell pizzas ...
I know it's probably not cool to make fun of senility, and she is a nice old lady. But damn she comes out with some funny random stuff!!
