Even on a Holiday is 90 minutes too long for delivery?

by MikeG » Wed Dec 24, 2008 2:20 pm

Also when said establishment is 1 mile straight up the road?

It just depends on how many others are ordering at the same time...I mean it doesn't matter how far you are from the pizza shop, it's just an issue of how many people are in front of you...that said, it's always a bummer to wait for sweet sweet pizza.

Nope. I'll save most of the rant about being thankful that they are even open on a day that a lot of people take off work... and at only a mile away you could be there and back in 10 minutes.

Happy Holidays!

I should add we were quoted 45 minutes.

But we did finally determine they delivered the pizza to our building to someone with a name CLOSE to that of the person who placed the order. They are having to re-make our order right now.

Those people took it and paid for it without questioning how they got it? I hope you ordered something on it that they hate! I can't believe somebody who didn't even order a pizza would accept delivery of it without question. :roll:

Yeah they didnt pay for it, it was paid for on a card when the order was placed.

I'm going to try and shorten this story as much as I can.

I work in an office building. My group decided to all pitch in on pizza for Xmas Eve as we were slow. The gentlemen who put the order on his card has a last name that is one letter off from a supervisor elsewhere in the same building. Said supervisor's team was having a potluck for Xmas Eve as well. We ordered and were told 45 minutes, the person ordering gave the person on the phone his direct extension line for the delivery person to call when arriving at the building. After 90 minutes we call to check on the pizza and are told it's out for delivery. 20 minutes following that we call again to be told it's been delivered, but we dont have it. The establishment agrees to resend the order.

What we have been able to gather through asking around the building...

The driver showed up with the pizza and walked into the break room on the main floor. The driver just starts asking around for the name on the order. An employee from the team who's supervisor had the similar name said "Oh you must mean 'x'" and signed for the pizza, took it and threw it in with the potluck stuff.

Beatings were nearly issued across that floor of the building. :P

working in a large office, this is prone to happening. when ordering give a team name, and be on the lookout for the driver. Other than that its a toss up, and I hope the guy who paid got his money from the other group.
