Ten Dollar Pizza? Just kill me now!

[notthecook]

Our local paper has a one page ad advertising the new $5 pick up and go at Pizza Hut. I am wondering how well that is going to go over.

At the pizza place I used to work at, we always used to dread the following promotion... buy one get one free, any pizza any size. O_o Not only did it bring all the morons out of their holes, but it meant that we ended up being wearied to the bone having to explain that it's JUST FOR PICK UP. It always said, in big red letters under the deal, "Pick up only, no delivery" but apparently no matter how big and how red it was, customers still didn't see it but just went "Blargle bitch blah! I want my buy one get one free pizzas delivered so I don't have to get off my fat arse! Blargle blargle!" -.-

Thank Last night was hell night. We ran out of almost everything. We have NO large pan doughs until tomorrow, we don't have sausage, mushrooms, and other ingredients. When it was most busy, my manager was next to me, growling out, "That is the LAST time I let C do the inventory order!"

<snip>

At the end of the night, I went home and got drunk for the New Year. Let today be less busy please, kthnx!

we, in the last 3 days, have had to get 3 emergancy supply deliveries (not cheap either)just to keep us with raw product. and I KNOW we will be getting another one in the next day or two even though we get our truck on Tuesday morn.

our sales and ticket count and overtime are through the roof.

hmmmm our POS's let us do double toppings such as extra pepperoni with no problems. we can even do a Super Surpream with extra pep, ham, sausage, beef (yes we actually have one customer who orders a medium on a regualr basis reg cost is like $22 but with the special it still is $10) and it has to be run through the oven at least 1 1/2 times for it to cook right

I wish I could have gotten drunk after work --> clocked out at 4am and was too wired. I do not like being a wired drunk (yeah like a beer with caffene mix they sell now)

[KymmyKyller]

Oh yes, we ran out again of some things today. Went to the local grocers because emergency deliveries aren't 'the norm'.

But yeah, our computers will let us do double toppings, but it seems ingrained to charge more for it. o.O

...Wait, they have caffeinated beer? How...icky! DX

My Store learned a helluva lot from the last $10 special. I've worked 42 hours the last 4 days and racked up 516 miles on my Bonneville. $250 JUST IN TIPS AND DELIVERY PAY! Minus 2 tanks of gas at $50 each and I have $150 for bills!

Hummm... when I try to order online (I hate talking on the phone because I have to answer phones for a living) it says the $10 deal is for only up to 3 toppings or a specialty. So are the rules different for different areas, or is it just 'cause it's online?

[Racket_Man]

we get lots of online orders with loads of toppings with no problem.

as far as the commerials they are running in my area it is "Any Size, Any Way for $10" not just 3 toppings or less or a speciality

[Wenchie]

I don't watch tv so I don't know what commercials are saying around here, but when I tried to make an order online it says "up to 3 toppings or specialty" and when I tried to add extra toppings just to check it charged me for them.

Oh well.

[Andara Bledin]

I just ordered from PH, and the online coupon says "any size, any toppings - no double toppings - stuffed crust may be more at some stores."

It took my first piza without a problem, but charged me $12 for the second.

^-.-^

[PizzaTheHut]

Its a YMMV promotion. Our Pizza Hut charges $1 more for Super Surpreme, Chicken surpreme, Taco pizzas, stuffed crust, and regular topping price after 3 toppings or specialty.


$350 in tips in a 55 hour week. I'm not complaining!

[Kristev]

Uh, tonight, I went to Pizza Hut. I had a stuffed crust, pepperoni and bacon. I paid, ahead of getting my food, and I paid in cash. I didn't ask for too many refills, didn't order anything else, waited politely for the waitress to seat me, and gave her a dollar tip. I qualified as a good customer tonight, right?

Why the dollar tip though? If the pizza is $11 and the soda was $2 (guess) thats less than 10 percent...

[Kristev]

Because I ran out of cash and didn't trust my debit card.

[blas]

If you had good to even halfway decent service, that was a horrible tip.

[Kristev]

All right then, I'll remember that.
