I'm hungry Got spare money?

I ordered a pizza 17:20, told them to deliver it at 18:15, now it's 19:35 and I still haven't seen any sign of the pizza

I called them at 18:35 and was told the pizza was on it's way (this is a small town so it only takes 5 minutes to get from their place to where I live)... 19:00 I called them again and was told something I couldn't translate, but I assume they were trying to say it was on it's way
Calling them doesn't help at all... I also sent a mail to the pizza-service in Denmark (who takes care of pizza orders for most pizza houses in DK) and explained the situation and got the response that they just called them and (suprise suprise) got the same message: the pizza is on it's way




I would really hate to have to stop buying from this pizza house since they are the only ones who knows how to put chili on a pizza

Jeez, 2 hours 15 is much longer than I've ever had to wait. It's unreasonably long. Most pizza places deliver well within 45 mintues.

I was told it would be there in 30 minutes

30 minutes... then I called every 5 minutes for 30 minutes... then demanded it be free... and then set the fax machine to keep calling them until I finished eating... and didn't tip the delivery guy.

The first hour is ok, since it was my descision to make it arrive at 18:15
Usually it takes 20-30 minutes
But that still makes it 1½ hour late

We don't tip the delivery guy anyway (nobody does that)
If there was other good places in town to get a pizza I would probably try to get it for free, but since other places is not an option* I don't want to piss them off (who knows what they'll do to my pizza next time )


* Even though there's more pizza houses in this town than most other towns this size, there's no good ones

Tired of ads?

I once called for a pizza and wanted to pay with credit card. The idiot on the phone needed me to repeat my card number 5 times. Then he wanted my phone number, which he fcked up three time. Then he asked me what street I was on. I told him Alves, even spelt it for him. He comes back with "nightingale?"

I hung up and ordered chinese.

Back in the days (read: 1½ month ago ) I did, but now it's not an option anymore because:
a) The pizza house is too far away
b) I don't have a car
c) Taking the bike downtown to eat there is not an option in this weather (been raining all day)

I think 30 minute is the longest I've ever waited, and it wasn't extra time, it was in time. Usually it takes about 20 minutes max.

Usually the deal is, if it' slate more than 10 minutes, you get a good discount, if really bad, get it for free.

I've once ordered kebab home as well (that I always go and fetch myself) and this dude was lke 15 minutes late, the kebab was not even warm anymore and it was like moist and stuff, as if it was sweating, it was smaller than I know it's supposed to be (I'm regular there), and the dude asked for MORE money that it actually costs. I told him it doesn't cost that much plus you're late and this is cold, I think I'm entitled to a discount, so he started being a little ***** and talk turkish to me or something so I pretty much told him to take the kebab and get the **** out of my place.

I pretty much changed my regular kebab joint, since I love kebab.

All I'm telling you guys, don't take no crap, and if they start showing attitude to you, THE CUSTOMER, kill them.

That sounds to be correct. I don't have a dog, but I was just told that the delivery guy had just been here (funny, there was no knock on the door and the bell didn't ring), so I guess the delivery guy went to some other house... on some other street (no dogs are allowed in the aparments on this street)

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

That is probably not a good idea (today at least) since that would require me to phone in, which I've done 3 times already, so he would know my voice by now

He just said it would arrive in 15 minutes (yeah right!)
And then he said a lot of stuff that makes no sense at all... making him repeat didn't help my understanding of it
I'm looking forward to the day when they invite subtitles for phones
