Ah, pizza shop SCs. (kinda long)

[DisgruntledBadger]

I dunno, I'm inclined to think of "doody-head" as a classic myself. Heaven knows I've used it enough since this incident!

Near as I can figure, the woman just wanted to get something for free. I don't think she was expecting us to open the box and look at the supposedly defective pizza before making her a new one. People amaze me.

Pizza delivery is such a simple concept, I am amzed how many people screw it up. Call me. Tell me what you want. Tell me where you are. I do the rest. All you have to do is be where you said you were.

Several times a night, I call people from their front porch, because their doorbell doesn't work, and the didn't hear the knock. People who are expecting a call are on the phone, or don't answer. Sometimes people don't even know their address (There are 4 different 5th streets in our delivery area, each with a different direction).

Of course, the amount of the tip is negatively correlated with how much effort I actually put in to make the delivery.

I dont, and will n ot work for a a pizza a parlor.... i just dont like cooking and i dont like driving my car at night but i got a few funny ones. One where my sister and her friends ordered pizza, waited 30 minutes, got a call from a lost delivery man, only to find out THE COMPUTER SYSTEM made an error accepting the order, because theyt where outside the delievery area. My favorite was the pizza guy driving up and freakign out when my dad, who was just pulling up on his motocycle, lost his balance and thought he caused it.
Oh btw im evil when it comes to pizza. a year of lunch detention made meat on pizza with out ketchup on top uneatable ( i am not kidding, wolfegang puck could make and i would still need heins) so im a either Veggie, veggie veggie person, or a Tomatoe Jalapenoe and Ham person or as i like to call it 'one large arizona!'

[Bloodsoul]

I like meat on my pizza; the more, the merrier. Infact, I wonder if I could get the local shoppe to put beef jerky on my next order? The Buffalo Chicken pizza was a pleasant surprise, though.

And I'm gearing up to do a pepperoni ham sausage peppers double olives pizza for my family, and you want just cheese?

Okay, anything?
Instead of red sauce, I want ketchup and mustard, cover that in shredded mozzarella and cheddar, then top with pickle slices and ground beef. Mmm, cheeseburger pizza.

[RichS]

Mmm, cheeseburger pizza.

OT, but there's a local pizza place in my small town that makes just that. Pretty good stuff, too.

[Noelegy]

I regularly invite people over for homemade pizza. It's absolutely disappointing just how many people, when I ask them what they want on their pizza, just say cheese or pepperoni. C'mon, guys, I can add anything available in a US supermarket. And I'm gearing up to do a pepperoni ham sausage peppers double olives pizza for my family, and you want just cheese?

Ahh, but a plain cheese pizza can be a thing of beauty if it's done right.

1. Pizza is like sex, even when its bad, its still good

Ugh, you never had the execrable "pizza" that was served in the cafeteria at my school. (putting on my old fart hat) I can't believe all the varieties and choices kids have nowadays in their school lunches. When I was a kid, you had ONE choice in elementary school (unless you brought your lunch) and that was what the cafeteria was serving. In junior high and high school, you went to two choices: cafeteria or snack bar, and the snack bar didn't really serve anything hot except for Frito chili pie or nachos, neither of which were very good.

Nowadays, these freakin' kids have a smorgasbord. Probably a large part of why there's so much childhood obesity. Give kids a choice and most of them will pick the wrong one.

What I never understood was that people actually got excited about pizza days. Then, when I was about 14, a Pizza Hut came to our small town, and we learned what pizza was supposed to taste like. Calloo, callay.

Graffito in the men's room of a pizza parlor in Eugene, Oregon:

"Whoever heard of pineapple on pizza??? You West Coast people are weird!!"

Off the top of my head, I can think of 1 classic SC from when I worked at the pizza place. XD Tho, the OP's story is flipping brilliant. XD I nearly spat out my Irn Bru!

The Fat Man.

This guy was notorious. He got the nickname partly from being very very very fat, but also cuz his manner reminded people of a serial killer (his other nickname was Gacy); he was sometimes creepy and sometimes downright nasty. He was the rudest person I've ever had to deal with; not only never said please and thankyou, but sometimes he'd curse down the phone. He ordered about three times a week and paid over the phone so when the delivery driver turned up over his house he'd practically snatch the pizza from their hands, scribble his signature on the slip and then slam the door in their faces. Everyone hated having to deal with Gacy; the drivers would even drive to Way Out Town (not it's real name, just the furthest town we delivered to) rather than deliver the Fat Man's pizza and when his number flashed up on the screen, all us counter staff would try to get out of answering any way we can.

Once, I hung up on him when I told him he had to go on hold (we were busy as hell with 2 staff down with flu so I couldn't take calls as I had to make the pizzas all by myself) and he swore down the phone at me, calling me a bitch. When I left the pizza place, Gacy had already had 2 warnings and was on his last chance. Dunno what happened to him, but hopefully he was eventually banned.

Not a problem. You anywhere near the SW Ohio region, and are a non-smoker?(This is more than the usual non-smoker rant. We have serious allergies in the house.)

[FenigDurak]

Dang. No. I know people there, but I haven't been since June.

[XCashier]

Now THAT sounds good! Maybe add some sliced sausage, black olives or pine nuts.

I remember taking my lunch to school every day because I hated the food in the cafeteria. It wasn't vegetarian-friendly and the vegetarian options they had was usually mac n' cheese, broccoli n' cheese, dog turds n' cheese... you get the picture. I have nothing against cheese, but I don't consider a plate full of processed cheese product to be vegetarian or healthy.
