I hate to tell you this, fantastic_four, but I already posted that observation in the Modern Forum two weeks ago.

Not so fast. I worked at Domino's and Papa John's through college. And frankly, the stupidity of many CUSTOMERS was infuriating. "How large is your 12" pizza?" was just one (Answer: "Put a ruler on your desk. Hold it down with your finger in the center and turn it slowly in a circle. That's how big a 12" pizza is.") . Another were the customers who made weird orders, like they wanted the cheese melted but NOT warm, yet the rest of the pizza had to be hot. Or people who ordered toppings they didn't want and then complained about them ("Why;d you put banana peppers on this?" "Because you asked for them." "No, I didn't! Someone there must have taken the order wrong." "Ma'am, I'M the one who took the order.")

 

Or the customers who didn't know their own addresses, or had no numbers on thier houses (usually with every light turned off), or the ones who apparently forgot they ordered a pizza and then scrambled around for the money while I was actually at their door, or the teen-ager who'd clearly raided his dad's coin collection to buy the pizza (in a collection of Susan B. Anthony dollars, buffalo nickels and zinc pennies).

 

Whenever it rained, EVERYBODY would call in and order pizza deliveries all at once, and then they'd all complain that their pizza wasn't there in less than 30 minutes.

 

Wealthier people gave the smallest tips--actually fishing out nickels from handsfull of change, for example.

 

Those were the days, man! I did the pizza thing for too long. Sounds like the stories are all the same. insane.gif

 

I worked at a Pizza Hut when I was in college. I was a delivery guy until I got my car stolen at gunpoint, and then I was a cook. It was a pretty fun job until I got sick of the sight, smell, and taste of pizza. 27_laughing.gif When I left, I didn't touch pizza again for three years.

Took me ten years to eat grape jelly again after having it for lunch for most of four years of college.

 

Thanks,

I never got robbed, probably because I'm 6'6" and pretty strong. Plus, I was the only guy who'd deliver into the "blacklisted" neighborhoods that racist Alabama managers prohibited (read "Blacklisted" literally ). People recognized my car and kids would walk beside me as I drove, escorting me to houses because they knew that I was the only driver who'd take pizzas to them.

 

Not that they tipped me or anything. But at least I never got shot by gangs, considering that with Domino's I was wearing red and blue simultaneously.

I like that commercial. And dont have a problem with the $20 surcharge for people with health conditions who refuse to stop eating food that will make them sicker... I could live with that kind of Big Brother approach. Just like a $20 surcharge at gas stations for people who pull up in Sequoias and other humongous truck/SUVs....
