House of a Thousand Pizzas
Sorry for the lack of Updates!! Hopefully I will be back to updating at least after every shift. I work at a pizza delivery establishment. I deal with customer complaints and employee issues on a daily basis. I came to the conclusion one day that the things I hear need to be shared with the world. All names have been changed to prevent the hurting of feelings. Everything I post here actually happened.I hope you guys enjoy!

We're out...
So I'm out and about with the little lady. We decide we are going to go spend some time with my family. My family is kinda strange. If you bribe them with food they won't eat your face off. So I suggest we stop by House of a Thousand Pizzas to get some food for them. I can get some great deals there. So I walk in to a mess in the dining room. I ignore it because I am going to carry out. I go back and start putting my order in. We are out of regular dough. Well that's fine I'll get thick and just discount it down. Nope we are out. So the pizza joint is out of pizza. Great times. I just left, I didn't want to walk into the back and start yelling at people wondering why the pizza store is out of pizzas and why no new dough was getting made. Scary stuff.

Yo Mamma
Jimmy and Wonder Boy almost come to blows the other night. Not fun. I guess they were both having bad days. I didn't care I was leaving in 30 minutes let #2 deal with it. They ended up both getting heavily disciplined and told if they are rude or yell at any other employee or make any more threatening remarks they are canned. The Boss Lady was catching me up to speed on the situation when Luigi heard this. He double checked that this was true. Boss Lady said yes. Them We watched dumbfounded and horrified as he walked right up to Wonder Boy and asked him if it was true. All Wonder Boy did was nod. Then Luigi started ripping on him with Yo mamma jokes.
Aliens and CNN
The other day started out being a good day. Well being a good day minus the waking up. Oh and minus the going to work. Well... there was that whole understaffed thing also. Ok, ok, so it wasn't much of a good day. I did however realize where my first mistake of the day was. Wonder Boy walked into the store. I, without thinking, asked him how he was doing. I know, I know stupid me. He said he was doing fine, and that aliens were invading the nuclear power plants. Well, at this point I think any semi-sane person would go drown themselves for opening up their ear to be raped by his ignorance but i was feeling froggy, which leads me to my second mistake of the day. I asked him how he cam to that conclusion. He told me without missing a beat that CNN told him. Sometimes I wonder why I can't put employees through the oven, or give them baths in the fryer.

What a Trooper
So yeah, Frankie gets an honorable mention. He went to the hospital this morning. He was diagnosed with tonsillitis, then went home, got dressed, and is here at work now. He is now waiting tables. What a trooper, he is stumbling around in a circle mumbling about hating certain boss people. What a trooper, I might try and send him home once I clock in.
Credits
Customer called in wanting to talk to a manager about why he only has a $10 credit on his account. I took the call and looked up the history. The Boss Lady put a credit on his account for wrong toppings on a pizza. He was telling me it was because his whole order was late and it should be for the whole order amount. Um... The Boss Lady doesn't give credits for pizzas being 'late.' I told him nope, its 10 dollars. He placed an order, I took it. I figured it was done. He called back stating the pizza was wrong. I asked him what he got and he said it was suppose to have pepperoni on the whole thing it only had half. Ok, that's what you ordered. That I why I read the order back to you. Then it changed to it doesn't have certain toppings. And then it changed to i could go @#$% myself.
This might seem like a weird concept, but House of a Thousand Pizzas is a business and we sell pizzas to make money. Yes... that is correct ladies and gentlemen, we are trying to make money. We are not giving food away for free. It costs money. Maybe one day people will realize this and start paying for their food without undue complaints.

Randomness
The other day was a bit interesting. I wasn't feeling well so I was more prone to wandering around aimlessly. I saw a few things that stuck with me through the sickly haze.
I saw a woman walk across our parking lot. This is not strange in itself. What was strange about it is that she was rapidly tapping her glass eye the entire time. How do I know it was a glass eye you ask? The answer is easy... I could hear it clinking 25 to 30 yards away.
A lady came in and asked if she could dig through our trash looking for cans. Ok... so why would you look through our dumpsters when we don't sell canned products. All our beverages are bottled. Sure go right ahead. Have fun!
The Boss Lady's new boss has decided that Lisa is going to train all our cooks from now on. *twitch* The same Lisa that cost us over 300 dollars in food cost in one week. The same Lisa who can't keep up on a Tuesday night because "we are to busy" (For those playing the home game, Tuesday nights are one of our slowest nights for Pizza. They are so slow in fact that we do a Buffet that night to try and raise business.) Sometimes I wish it was legal to carry a concealed shovel.
