I once called in a pizza order to be picked up

Posted By: mtmomof2 on 2008-08-18
In Reply to: Makes me wonder... - jss

and the guy on the phone said off-handedly....I don't need to charge you the extra dollar since it is not being delivered. I asked if that dollar went to the delivery person and he sheepishly said no. Really ticked me off.

The pizza place we order from
I have assumed that would go to the driver.
Kids at grandma's for me too! Pizza, pizza, pizza!
Yay.
he picked Jen.............

Oh. Been there done that. Picked myself up.

Babying someone and telling them to sit in a corner and cry is doing them NO good at all.


You are an enabler and not helping.


I picked thru their hair...
Took small section by section and picked thru and took each nit and pulled them out several times a day until I found no more nits. I had to go thru mine too since I got it too.
I would have picked different parents
My 16 and 18-year-old hippy selfish, self-centered, neglectful parents are now plastic surgery seeking, anti-depressant popping nightmares, and they are still whiny babies.
There were the 3 I had picked. Absolutely
love Adam. Yes, there will be 3 wildcards. The judges will bring back those they think need a second chance; hoewver, I don't know if the public picks the last 3 or if the judges do.
Glad you picked TyneLyn!
That is what I call her most of the time! I cover my hands and play peek-a-boo with her when she is on my lap. I open my hands really fast and she puts that pointy little nose in to lick me. We keep this up until I can't stop laughing. She ALWAYS WINS!

I think you are right. . Cupid and TyneLyn are not that terribly couragious, but they sure brighten up our lives! I will go downstairs now, to WHAT? I will email tomorrow on the Gab Board and tell you how she liked the party!
See who I picked in my message on first post.

I still haven't picked my jaw up off my desk. (sm)

I just got off a quick break and decided to watch this video that I was told would floor me.  It certainly did.  I knew our political system was corrupt, but I honesly had no idea "they" were this blatant about it. 


This is well worth the several minutes or so it takes to watch.  I didn't post this under either political board, because it transcends both the conservative and liberal spectrums.  Maybe this should go under the prayer request board now that I think of it.


If it's happening there, it's happening everywhere.  These "voices of the people" totally need a good smackin.

The fact that the 2 you picked up even mentioned
A long, long time ago, when I had just started working at a new job, a cute-looking guy who worked down stairs would always pass me on the stairs as I was going on my break. He seemed shy, we always just said hello. This went on for months. I liked him, but never talked to him for more than a few moments on the stairs.

Then, one morning, out of the blue, something really weird happened. As we passed each other, I said 'Hi!' as usual. After I was just past him, from behind, he said, 'Watch out, I might just rape you.'

????? Whaaaat.....???? Where on earth did THAT come from? I never spoke to him again.

Well, at about that time, there was a serial rapist in the area who over a period of time raped a lot of women in the nearby hills a popular hiking/jogging spot that I went to often, as well. He'd pick someone tired, offer to show them shortcut, and attack them in the wooded area he led them through.

Well, long story short, the guy I'd been saying hi to every morning at work, turned out to be that serial rapist! A late-20s-ish guy who was drop-dead cute, with an innocent-looking baby face. Boy, were my instincts ever NOT functioning with him, until he made that odd comment to me on the stairway! Before he made that comment, if I had bumped into him out at the hiking trail, I most surely would've gone along with him when he offered a short-cut, and become yet another statistic.


Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
I picked the olives off trees in Greece
and was I surprised. Tasted nothing like what I was used to. I love Milk Duds also. I think they are really good when you go to the movies along with your popcorn and cola. I hardly buy them if not at the movies, wonder why?
I picked out my ring and absolutely regret it!
I really wish I would have had him do it all and we would have just slowed down. I love my husband to pieces, but it would have been nice to have a proposal and a surprise to see my ring for the first time. We kind of just agreed to get married and then went ring shopping together, but now I wish there had been more romance involved. Just let the boy pick it out - If he knows you well enough like he should if you plan on marrying him, then he'll surely pick out something you like.
The judges picked awful songs all the
way around last night, I thought. None of them were suited for the songs chosen for them & they were bad songs... And speaking of judges, I hope Cara or Kara is GONE next season. She gets on my last nerve.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

We picked out ours together. They were matching nugget bands with 4 diamonds at angle. However....
last year was our 19th anniversary. I had lost my ring about 2 weeks before my anniversary (or so I thought anyway).

For my anniversary, he had bought me a 1 carat marquis diamond. He had hid my band and then miraculously the day I tell him about losing it, he says "Oh, I found it and put it in your ring box." He goes and gets my box and yes my band is in there but also my new ring as well. It has been 19 years (now getting close to 20), I still love him to death simply because I know he really listens to me (and of course the fact that he is a sweetie!)
Sounds like YOU picked a real loser to sleep around with and have kids with.
You have no one to blame but yourself.
Law and Order CI -- I can't believe
they moved it to USA though- every time I think about getting rid of cable they do this to me. :(
Just a few - not in order
terminal cancer
bronchial washings
pus
Hilary
scrotum
MDSO

Yuck, now I can't eat dinner later after reading all these words everyone posted. Maybe I'll post them on the refrigerator so as to enhance my diet!
CSI and Law and Order

Saw the post on the other board about transcribing for CSI or L&O docs.


Had to respond here (because this is not really a main board thing), that these shows are awesome! I love them probably because it is so much like our work.  One of the accounts I type for is actually mentioned on one of the CSIs and I go crazy when I hear the name of the hospital. LOL.  Anybody else loooove these shows? Just curious to see if there are only a few of us or if a lot of MTs have this in common.


 


there isn't any order that I sm
know of. There is a notice that ocmes in the mail that says it will just be in late May.
restraining order?
When you leave, could you try to get a restraining order? Then when he violates it, which he probably will, have him arrested. .
Nevermind.. order something...
called Lock Laces online.  Expensive, but hopefully they will last.
It depends on where I order it from...sm

Pizza Hut now charges a $1.75 delivery fee and is only 1.5 miles from my house, so I typically tip 15% if we have it delivered instead of going to pick it up ourselves (Which we do more often since they raised their delivery fee).  If we order from another place that doesn't pass on a delivery fee than I'll usually tip 20%.


I never, ever, put money into a tip jar anywhere. 


When we do eat at restaurants I usually tip 20% or more depending on the service, but if I get suboptimal service I'll leave 10-15% depending on the level of service received and how busy the restaurant is (if they're busy I'm more forgiving than if they're not). 


 


I'd get a restraining order, that way when- sm
he violates it he will be thrown in jail, and possibly get a mental health evaluation. You mom needs to do this as he has threatned her,etc. You never know when he might further go over the edge and followthrough (i.e. kill your mom), if he ever does you will obviously feel very guilty that you sat back and did nothing.
So go over and have pizza..what's the big deal?
Not like she asked you to plan it or have it at your place and cook a meal. Maybe I'm not understanding.
How much do you tip the pizza delivery guy?

I usually give them 3 or 4 dollars.


But I got to thinking with the cost of gas, maybe that's not enough? Don't they usually pay for their own gas?


How much do you tip?


California pizza
I always wondered if they were any good... now I can try one
Never had mac and cheese pizza, but
I have my grandmother's recipe that we grew up on of baked mac and cheese. So much better than the box varieties.
Look like a good belly rub is in order!!!

No mentors, formerly done via mail order, etc.
I answered this before but don't know where it went. We worry he is being used but he asked us to think positive. We are sick about it but can't dare say anything. He is doing his best to ask for help, a competitor just laughed in his face at Manhattan. Newer product previously ordered online or through catalogs, no prior salesperson cold calling.
I usually give $5, or 20% depending on how much I order.
I know they work hard for their money, and believe it or not, there are still a lot of people out there that NEVER tip so I try to make a small difference. I know people in my family who have NEVER tipped and do not feel like they have to. I think it's rude consider wait staff usually never makes minimum wage and something like $3.35 plus tips, so, they are very dependent on tips to make a liveable wage.
depends on if they add gas surcharge of $4 when I order -sm
If not, I give a few dollars per pizza.  If they charge that surcharge when I call in the order then I tip less.  Some companies are charging it now and some are not, and it does not depend where they are delivering to.
yes! order an appetizer - they are huge, enough for 2 (or more). NM

Well, he or she won't have the sleep study, but may order one for *you.* LOL sm
I can't believe it; I'm communicating like some of my docs now, with the unfortunate wording.

I think DNA are in order for Jackson kids
I have seen the kids, all 3 of them and without a doubt do not think those are Michael Jackson's kids. One by a surrogate, well all 3 because apparently Debbie Rowe gave up her claim to kids for money and after they came out from behind the costume masks, there is not 1 thing, not 1 that looks like they are mixed, one kid is a towhead, the others have no facial features, hair nor any skin characteristics that resemble their father. I doubt this would ever be done but frankly have thought from the start Jackson was not the father and furthermore after staying behind the masks, blankets and things the children were behind for so long, thought then about covering up for the fact there was no blackness there.
If you're talking about Pizza Hut then....sm
the $1.50 fee goes to the restaurant to help pay the base salary for the drivers. I know because I asked the manager when they started this practice a few months ago. I usually give a 20% tip as they always deliver pizzas to my house within 20 minutes and faster than the internet says they'll deliver when I place the order.
does pizza hut begin with the letter D?
nm
I like my pizza stone and can opener the best.
Any stone is nice if you bake.  The items I use and LOVE the most are their spatulas.  Everything is kinda pricey.  They do have things in all price ranges though.  I also like their cook books.  I have never been to a power party!  Have fun. 
Pizza in a home over. Not hot enough. Tasty, but sm
never as good as baked in a real pizza oven.

Here's the pizza guy's point of view

I wish I MADE as much as a pizza delivery guy

Pizza is every kids favorite!
I have used the pie irons before but never thought of anything other than the desserts or grilled cheese. Pizza sounds like an easy and healthy lunch for the kids that they will actually eat and can help make. Thanks so much!
Homemade Pizza Dough

Does anybody have a recipe for a good pizza dough recipe that does not take a long time to make?


Also what do you put on your homemade pizza?

Uncooked whole tomatoes on pizza
We have that here. I actually love it. It's like a bruchetta.
My ultimate favorite pizza
Is the Pizza Margarita (sp?). It's the one where the crust is brushed with EVOO and then just topped with slices of mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and fresh leaves of basil. I adore it, and would you believe cannot find it in the central California area?

The only regional foods where I live are pretty much raisins and grapes *sigh*

We're more famous for our crime rate than our cuisine, lol!
The pizza I had in Buffalo was supposedly
pepperoni. The whole tomatoes were supposedly the sauce. I love, love, love tomatoes, just not what tastes like whole, uncooked on my pizza.
