Free pizza
We got a free pizza for dinner tonight.
At 6:40 p.m. I called the pizza place and ordered a pizza for dinner. I told them I would pick it up. They said it would be ready in 20 minutes.
I arrived at the pizza place at the appointed time. The young man at the counter took my money and went to get my pizza. He came back a few seconds later to tell me it wasn’t quite ready. He said it would be a few more minutes.
I sat down on the wooden bench in what passes for a lobby in the pizza place. I waited ten minutes. I went up to the counter to ask the young man about how much longer I would have to wait for my pizza. He said he would check. He came back a few seconds later to tell me that they hadn’t yet started on my pizza and it would be about 20 minutes. He apologized, said the pizza would be free and gave me my money back.
Twenty minutes later, I walked out with my free pizza.
Who says America isn’t the greatest country on the face of the earth? God bless Pizza Hut.

jesus…how did they take 50 minutes to make a pizza? perhaps 5 or 10 minutes to get around to making it, then no more than 10 minutes to cook it. even if they remade it, fucked up on it, then remade it again, you should have been out earlier. call that number on the side of the box and they’ll give you gift certificates if you bitch a little bit. enjoy it while you can, i think pizza hut’s driving itself out of business.
Nah, I got my $10.06 back. That’s enough. I think what happened is they gave my pizza to one of the drivers that were running in and out of the place like mad men on crack, then had to start from scratch again with mine.
I could not work in a place like that. I’d be a raving lunatic in about five minutes.
