The dogs went nuts at 12:05am — I was reading in the dark — and when I got up this morning, the note I’d left for the pizza guy was gone. I should have left him a dollar, too — not his fault he made a trip for nothing. Oh well. LOL
But 12:05, when they said 11:22, and I submitted my order at 9:01?

No, it’s not the driver’s fault BUT if that kind of thing happens enough, the drivers will quit and the management will get a wake-up call. It’s how the economy works.
If they couldn’t deliver a friggin’ pizza on time with a 2.5 hour lead time, they don’t deserve your business or an apology. It’s hot, nobody wants to cook, sure… but if you can’t fulfill orders in a timely basis, don’t answer the phone.
don’t make promises you can’t keep
This seems like a corollary to “if you’re too busy to talk, then don’t answer the phone” It IS an option you can CHOOSE instead of admonishing someone for calling at an inconvenient time. (not you, RL, just in general!) This happened to me three times last week.
I really think there used to be MORE common sense, don’t you? what the hell happened?

That’s the problem — if they had answered the phone, I could have cancelled the order by 9:03 and saved everyone the hassle! LOL
Today I bought so many berries — organic, even — that my fingers are stained pink.

One must wonder what the client-side setup for the shops is like; must be some kind of clumsy proprietary system. Wouldn’t an automated phone call or instant message-type thing to the front register be easier than coding, releasing and supporting new software to serve a rudimentary function like that?
