Pesky Pizza People
I want to share with you my recent conversation with the staff of one particular "Papa John's" pizza establishment. The charictors are...
Me = M
Pizza minion 1 = 1
Pizza minion 2 = 2
Pizza master (manager) = D (for d***)
The phone = P
P: ring (wow. that was necessary huh)
1: Thank you for calling PJ's, how may I help you?
m: do you have Personal Pan Pizzas?
1: No, just small
M: oh, well I have a cupon for a personal pan pizza, could I use it for a small?
1: uh, yes, we can do that
M: Great! I also happen to have three of them, could I use them all on this order?
1: uh, just a minute
P: cheesy hold recording. Happens to be Papa John himself
wants me to buy pizza aparently. well not today pal. I have 7 free pizza cupons here 
(saving some for later)
2: *picks up* (aparently knows what's going on already) well, you can only use one per order.
M: well that's silly, couldn't 3 of us walk in, use 3 cupons, and get 3 pizzas if we came seperately and you didn't know we were in the same group?
2: well yes, I supose so. Just a second.
P: cue cheesy hold recording
1: Thank you for holding (etc. no clue why she picked up the phone.)
M: (somthing to the effect of, "so?"
1: I have to get you to talk to the manager, he deals with free orders.
M: wasn't that the manager?
1: no, he wasn't on the phone just then
M: (gets lost in bordom till manager shows up. Staff can be heard in the background talking about "Wade". Nobody seems to like Wade. Must be the manager. Read on to find out why)
D: Can I help you?
- same conversation ensues. I make my same point, he acts like a d***
m: ... but if 3 of us called seperately and placed 3 different orders we COULD use 3 cupons. Sounds like a waste of time...
D: (in d*** like tone of voice) well now that I know I'm not gona do it
M: *now p*ssed a little, but mainly tired of dealing with this. I have frozen pizza in da frige* well I'll remember that then
P: click
So. How bout it? And for an extra bonus, disregarding the fact that "Wade" has a job to do, was I right or wrong to press the point?
