Pizza Chronicles: Telepathic Delivery

[EvilEmpryss]

Also what gets me is she said she wanted to order "just" a medium pizza, then proceeds to order a bunch of other stuff. Makes me wonder if just stupid or trying to get free food. Yeah, going with free food on this one.

It might be a local turn of phrase. I've heard "just" used when you're trying to say it's not the biggest/most/grandest option that you want. So "I'll have just a medium pizza" means she doesn't want a large, or I'll have just a bite" is saying you don't want the whole thing.

She had plenty of layers of suck going on, tho, to mitigate it with that little colloquialism.

I suppose the elephant in the room here is that she never actually gave her address for the food to be delivered to...

She *might* have thought this is one of the places which links the customer's address to caller ID. However, from the sound of it, this place defaults to carry-out. Some pizza places which have nice sit-down dining areas don't ask delivery or carry-out, they just figure the caller will... tell them... what they want.

Vegans don't eat cheese, cheese melts. not possible.

And I hope there wasn't yeast in the dough! Can't kill those little critters either!

NOW the above half and half is just stupid unless there is a way (hard to do) to physically separate the 2 halves and then do the same thing while the pizzas is in transport (either delivery or carryout) dine-in would be a little easier but not by much.

1/2 meatlovers, 1/2 vegan. And don't let them contaminate each other!

To be clear some cultures tend toward vegan such as the Indian sub-continent. We have enough H1B workers from that area of the world here in my area that we regularly get requests for the pizza cutter to be freshly cleaned when cutting an order.

The all meat/vegetarian was actually a popular combo at the pizza shop where I used to work. and yes someone did order one once and came back to complain that the meat juices were on the vege side.

I ALWAYS specify delivery first thing, but then the pizza places here also always ask if it's pickup or delivery. If a place doesn't do that, it's on the customer to be specific. She probably did that on purpose thinking she could get her food for free.

...What a PITA of a pizza to make...

[EvilEmpryss]

If I worked pizza, and got that PITA 1/4-1/4-1/4-1/4 order, I'd have to make sure to slice it so that each slice was 1/2 of one type, 1/2 of the type next to it. What? You didn't specify delivery or cut. Too bad.

[EricKei]

neither of the pizza places where I worked (one a national chain, one a local hole in the wall) would do those. Half and half at the most, or order two pizzas.

"I want a small cheese pizza and a large 1/4 cheese, 1/4 Hawaiian, 1/4 meatlovers, and 1/4 Mediterranean. "

Nothing yet so far from them. Notified the owner, he simply said what can they expect us to do? We did our job.
