    Internet orders

    Our internet orders are picking up. The downside of that is when some of the more challanged inDUHviduals in our population do NOT pay attention to what they are doing.

    Large carry-out order is sitting in the hot box. And sitting. And sitting......

    Finally a person calls wondering where their delivery order is. Well guess what ol Bean?? when you placed that internet order you specified CARRY-OUT instead of delivery. Now I get to deliver that $45.18 order you so desperately wanted and know for a fact that you are gonna stiff me because of YOUR screw up

    And boy was I right. The person handed me exactly $45.18 and cheerfully said to have a good night.

    Now I have placed on-line orders with various companies (food and non food). It seems I actually pay attention to what is on the screen not just randomly speed clicking on the mouse like a 3 year old on a super sized Snickers buzz.

    We get this a lot at my place too. Although more often than not, they are out of our delivery area and cannot even select delivery as an option.

    "Why dont you deliver out here?"
    Because you are 20 miles away one-way. Unless you order a TON of food, we are not going that far. And yes, you DO have to prepay with a credit card.

      Here's a question that I always worry about when I'm ordering pizza online and paying with a card. It gives me the option to tip via the card, but I'm somewhat paranoid in thinking that the tip will end up either not going to the driver or not going completely to the driver like I want.

      So I typically pay tip in cash and everything else on card... Anyone tell me if the driver will get a tip I pay on my card?

      It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

        At my pizza place, the tips must be written in on the CC slip. And you can be sure that we watch very closely when we cash out at night. But the accountant would pick it up anyway.

        I cant speak for others, but Im sure that the drivers watch like hawks.

          i'm reminded of one company (I think it was a british one) that did some april fool's day sale where they included some fine print.

          IIRC if you clicked "Accept" on the stuff you agreed that they owned your soul. If you declined you got a $5 coupon. Not surprisingly, only a few people actually read the fine print and declined.

          Later on they made a public statement renouncing their ownership of said souls. But still it's surprising how many people just agreed without reading.

            Fortunately we haven't run to someone that dumb with our web orders yet, though I'm sure we will eventually.

            At our store, any credit card tip for a delivery order goes to the driver, even when the someone comes in to the store to order a delivery.

              Not really. South Park did a really great episode on this.

              Always read the fine print. Otherwise, this might be your fate . . . .

                      I made the mistake of checking the Wiki for the movie, to see if South Park got it right. Sadly, it was even worse. Ugh.

                        Never seen the movie/series thereof, never will. And that episode of SP is on my very, very short banlist.

                          Is it just me... maybe it is, maybe not. I can say with complete honesty it didn't disturb me at all. Not one bit.

                            Not just you. It doesn't affect me at all.

                              Of course he didn't tip you - after all, YOU are personally responsible for his order being both late and stale (from sitting in the hot box due to him specifying "carry-out" when he wanted delivery).
