computers is our friends
On travel near San Diego this week. Have the wife and IAC with me. We got in at 5 local time, but it was nearly 7 by the time we got near the hotel. We went to Target first, to pick up some diapers and milk for IAC, and decided pizza would be a good, easy, quick dinner, so i looked up a local Domino's Pizza. I called and below is basically how it went down:
Domino's: Hello, this is Stanley, how can I help you?
Me: Hey, I need to order a pizza for delivery.
Stanley: What's your phone number?
M: I'm at the Courtyard Marriott, but don't know the number off the top of my head.
S: I need the number.
M: Hold on a second.
S: You can just call me back when you get the number.
M: ok fucker, click
literally 15 seconds later, I call back.
S: Hello, this is Stanley, how can I help you?
M: Hey, I've got that hotel #.
S: Can I have it?
M: blah blah blah phone number
S: what room are you in?
M: I haven't checked in yet, just wanted to call ahead so you could get my pizza in the oven.
S: I need the room number.
M: you can't bring it to the front desk?
S: I need the room number.
M: FUCK YOU! click
seriously, is that kid so stupid he didn't know what the hell to do if he didn't have a number to put into a space on the computer screen? is it asking too much for the kid to think outside the box a little?

This would have been a lot more interesting had you recorded yourself explaining the phone call to me.
just doing his job...it's called confirmation and security
confirmation and security? i wasn't applying for a credit card, i was ordering a pizza.
Right. They used to not deliver pizza to cell phones, but they do now.
Do you think some dipshit kid making minimum wage is allowed to "think outside the box?" He's just following what he's told to do.
Were you just a dipshit when you worked at BK? I hated when everyone thought I was just some flunky when i worked at DQ. granted, sometimes you just don't give a shit, but just because you work fast food, doesn't mean you're a retard.
ding fries are dooooooooooooone
Considering I'm still a dipshit now...
I'm just saying that maybe he wasn't allowed to ring up your order without a phonenumber or address.
People would ask me silly things like if I could sell them an extra meat patty on the side, or if I could put BK sauce in container, or mix 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 strawberry milkshakes, and even though they were trivial, I couldn't do it because it was against company policies.
Of course, customers would get pissed at me, as if I had any say in the matter.
that must be the difference between the king and the queen. my boss would sell anything at the store, even the pickle buckets.
