How we wound up with 7 (yes that's seven) pizzas!
As many of you who have read my Say What You Mean Every Day eBook know, I collect hilariously funny bad customer service stories. Oh not usually because I am a creative writer but because they are REAL events that happened to me! And this weekend was no exception! I would post this on Friday Funnies but I just can't wait that long to tell you. This is just too funny. I felt like someone would pop out from behind the bush (ok it's a dead tree about the size of a stick) and yell "Smile, you're on Candid Camera!"
We ordered pizza, three to be exact, for $5 each from our local pizza place. Let's call them Perpetual Pizza. We ordered one with just cheese, one with mushroom and one pepperoni with extra sauce. What we received was three pizzas with the correct toppings and practically NO sauce to speak of. My husband called to express his displeasure over eating pizza with no sauce (and cardboard crust). In effect, he was told that they were running out of sauce so they were rationing.
Side Bar: Ok so aside from being stingy, they were also not very bright! Did they think a guy who ordered extra sauce would not notice that he was eating cardboard pizza with no sauce? I mean, it's red! Sauce loving connoisseurs would notice if their pizza didn't have any red stuff!
So he is told they are sorry and they will send him a complementary pizza with extra sauce in about a half hour. They ask him what he would like on it and he tells them pepperoni and mushroom. Sure enough a half hour later there is a knock at the door and behind it a man from Perpetual Pizza standing there with steaming hot pizza in hand. Three of them!
We question said pizza delivery man and he tells us to take them. With a strange sense of wonder we peer into the square shaped boxes and discover that we have one cheese, one pepperoni and one mushroom pizza all with NO SAUCE! This is where we all throw back our heads and laugh. My husband decides it isn't worth a phone call to alert Perpetual Pizza to their mistake so we now have six pizzas on the kitchen counter.
About 15 minutes later there is another knock at the door and behind it a man stands with...can you believe it?... yet another pizza! By now all four of us are rolling with thunderous laughter about which the Perpetual Pizza delivery man is understandably confused.
We then had a total of seven pizzas on the kitchen counter. Kelsey took a picture but I am not sure it came out well enough to put it up here on Communication FUNdamentals. She was laughing so hard I think the picture is fuzzy!
We'll be eating pizza til Christmas!
