dennySo I'm ordering pizza, again. Being stuck in the house, and not having particularly well stocked cupboards, it seems like a good idea. I have this huge pile of pizza leaflets to work my way through - I don't know if the MK pizza companies let them know I was coming, but they've been flyering me at a rate of about one every two days. Next in the pile: Pizza Hut.
Initially I thought they'd be a bit expensive, but a glance at the prices shows they're pretty much in line with everyone else around here, so that's cool. I phone the number on the back of my leaflet.
"Hello, Pizza Hut, can I help you?" (actually there was more spiel, but you get the idea)
"Yes, can I get some pizza delivered please?"
"Can I have your address please sir?"
[gives address]
"I'm sorry, you are not in our area. This is the Wimbledon branch, you need to phone the Tooting branch - here is their number..."
[scribbles down number, says thanks, says bye]
(Why did they leaflet me then?)
(Twice in fact - I notice a second leaflet from them at this point, while double-checking that I didn't imagine the first one)
Oh well.
[rings Tooting branch]
"Hello, Pizza Hut, can I help you?"
"Yes, can I get some pizza delivered please?"
"Can I have your address please sir?"
"[gives address]"
"I'm sorry, you are not in our area. This is the Tooting branch, you need to phone the Morden branch - here is their number..."
[mutters obscenities to self while scribbling down number, says bye]
I'm hungry. Someone feed me, damn it...
[rings Morden branch]
"Hello, Pizza Hut, can I help you?"
"Yes, can I get some pizza delivered please?"
"I'm sorry sir, we're not doing deliveries at this time, only eat-in."
"Oh for FUCK's sake."
[hangs up, throws Pizza Hut leaflets in bin]
Next leaflet.
"Hello, Fiammi Pizza, can I help you?"
"Yes, can I get some pizza delivered please?"
"Certainly!"
[nice man takes order, sends Denny food]
There's probably a moral to this story; possibly "Pizza Hut are incompetent fuckwits on a company-wide basis". Have a nice evening everyone, I'm going to bed to read while I wait for my pizza to arrive.
