Award for Best Phone Conversation I Have Had at Work So Far:
Senior citizens are my favorite citizens. Not only are they usually confused, they are also paranoid and finicky. A lady called our store after she had picked up her order and taken it home, convinced we had overcharged her. Once I figured out what she was worried about, I had to go through the order item by item and show her that yes, indeed, the amount charged was the correct amount. Then she said those infamous last words "While I have you on the phone...". Great.
"Your pizza was cut in a very strange manner. There were big pieces, little pieces. I think everyone commented on how awkwardly your pizza was cut."
Me: "Uh huh. . ."
"I have never seen a pizza cut like that in all my life."
Me (eyeing the growing line of customers): "I'm sorry to hear that."
"I just thought you should know."
Me: "I will be sure to pass that along."
"If you would, I would appreciate it. Good bye."
Me: "Hey, Steve, some lady thinks we cut our pizzas weird. Just sayin'."
Steve: *shrug* "Whatever."
If I ever get old enough to make it a priority to complain about the symmetry of my pizza slices, I will know I have worn out my welcome here on earth.
If I lived near Logan I would buy a pizza from you just to see you in a Little Ceasars polo. I'm laughing just thinking about it. Oh, do you get to wear an apron too? That's hot.
ReplyDeleteWow, makes me remember my good old days working at little ceasars in high school. I have definitely had those phone conversations. Its amazing how uptight people can get over a $5.00 pizza!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, Little Caesar's ruined Pizza forever.
ReplyDeleteYou can't justify spending $10 on a really good pizza knowing that you can get one just as big for $5 at Little Caesar's. But what if you don't want a Little Caesar's pizza? You just go get a hamburger. Amazingly enough, Little Caesar's has somehow managed to undermine this most important staple of young adult living.
