I'm just screwing around. I'm just the opposite of you, the type that will never take the last bit of food (or coffee/etc) from a communal thing even if it leads to the remainder being so small that it isn't enough for anyone. But at least I won't be the guy who took the last piece.

Pizza delivery people. Not only are you half an hour late despite having 2 hours lead time before my scheduled delivery, the delivery guy doesn't say a single word. He just hands me the pizza and starts walking away. I paid by card and called after him like "hey don't you want your tip and don't i have to sign?". He didn't say a thing, and I gladly put 0 dollars in the tip line because I'm sure this fucker would have written in his own tip if I hadn't.

Franchises are what is wrong with businesses. If you are so big you need to let unqualified people with no standards run your branches, you are being presumptuous. I complained once, got a free coupon, used it, ordered again tonight and now I will never order from it again unless I get a scanned copy of every staffmember's termination notice at this location, and I told them this in my complaint, which I'm sure will be ignored since I headed it with "do not send me any more drat coupons i will throw them out".

I want to see heads roll, not get more bad food almost an hour after it is scheduled to be delivered.

hi i deliver pizzas as your post peeves me the gently caress out. It's food. It's not worth being lovely over. At all. Unless you get legit sick over it.

Not every place is the same, but you don't know what's going on the kitchen. I've had shifts where it was only me, the driver, and the cook, who doubled duty for being a server. poo poo gets busy and things can go bad. It happens.

Everyone should have to work in a kitchen for at least half a year. Maybe then we'd get less complete dicks who keep thinking their food is more important than anything else.

maybe you should just get the pizzas yourself at this point if you won't stop bitching about people delivering food to you.

Settle down. They had 2 hours lead time, as I said in the old post you're quoting. I am paying the absurd delivery fee, I am not dumping an order during rush hour, what else am I supposed to do? I'm paying the fee because I don't want to go to the store. Every other pizza hut I've ordered from except this one was able to meet an advance order delivery time +/- 10 minutes. This one has like a 2.2 star rating after hundreds of reviews on google precisely because they make a habit of this. The anger is toward the management who allows this to happen, not the cooks. They cook the pizza alright, but it doesn't get there until it has been sitting out for 45 minutes no matter how far in advance you order it.

Order a pizza, head over there and peep out what's going down. If they're just awful and don't care and are sitting and waiting for 45 minutes or whatever, then yeah. Be mad.

But there's sooooooooo many factors to how poo poo gets hosed up, and all it can take is one wrong number in the address or phone number to cause a massive delay in the entire night. I've been lost many times due to servers or people not doing their part, and it's caused hour delays in food. You can't do anything about that. Food service is a mostly thankless, poo poo job that people seem to not understand how much goes into it.

Either don't order from there, or be more understanding.

Oh man, you wouldn't believe how much saliva gets put in food. From the lowest of Del Tacos to the finest of Melting Pots, even shift supervisors will get in on that action.

Like I said, I am never ordering from that location again in my life. Corporate tried to shove more coupons down my throat but it's the franchise, not the product. If they can't handle an order placed 2 hours in advance, which I'd wager most people don't do, they don't deserve to be in business. If you read the reviews people who go in have to wait absurd amounts of time after the promised time to get their food too, so i'm not about to do that. It's not just delivery. They are just a lovely franchise, which is why I said the only way I'd consider ordering from them again is if it came under new ownership with higher standards.

Office managers are incapable of choosing appropriate pizza for pizza lunch. They always go

50% cheese
25% pepperoni
25% weirdass veggie pizza

It should be

35% pepperoni
35% supreme (sausage and like 2-3 random veggies)
20% cheese
10% veggie
Both of these options are loving terrible.

If you're getting one pizza you get a vegetarian because everyone can eat it and it's not a bland, tasteless piece of poo poo.

If you're getting two, the second one is a meatlovers for the babies who can't handle the fact that the first one's a vegetarian.

If you're getting three then the third one's a mexicana for the people who'll complain if they have to eat a single food item that doesn't contain chillis.

Four and five should be an aussie and a hawaiian (possibly the other way around).

Six should be a supreme/special/the lot.

After that you go back to the start of the list. Add additional vegetarians into the list if there are an unusually large number of vegetarians present.

Under no circumstances should you ever get a plain cheese pizza because it will sit there all but untouched because literally anything else is better and even the one dickhead who insisted on it will only eat one or two slices.

Keep in mind that US pizza is usually, like, one topping, maybe two, at most.

Whereas in Australia, you pile that poo poo as high as you can. My sister worked for a place that you'd, no joke, have an inch of toppings, even on a basic Hawaiian.

I'm in the US and I thought that "cheese pizza" was a joke made up for Home Alone until I was probably 25.

Single topping pizzas being way too common is true, pepperoni and nothing else must be 90% of pizza orders. Although now that I think about it, a pizza with just a ton of cheese and a ton of onion could be really good.

That sounds like it might be alright.

Not sure if it was this thread or one of the myriad other threads where we argue about insignificant things like pizza toppings, but I recently got a pizza with bacon, jalapenos and pineapple on a goon recommendation and it was really really good. So thanks for expanding my palate, folks!

Back in the early 2000's when Pizza Hut or Dominoes had "The Big New Yorker Pizza" it was my brother's favorite pizza for some reason, I thought it was pretty meh at best, but he'd throw a fit about not getting one when it was family pizza time.

Whenever I buy a cheese pizza from the supermarket, it's just so I can put my own toppings on it.

Like goats cheese and red onion chutney! :haw:

Then I end up eating the whole thing instead of just half like I originally planned to and have to work it off. My pet peeve is that food tastes too good.

Every once in a while I get a cab home from work since it's fairly cheap and beats the hell out of getting a bus then walking 45 minutes, and like half the time the driver will get super passive aggressive when I mention I'm paying by debit. I dont know anyone who uses cash anymore and I'm paying the debit fee, not you just take my money and drive me home.

It doesn't happen often enough for me to stop using their service, but it happens enough for me to whine on the internet.
