Pizza Hut nightmare
It was a rainy, cooling and gloomy Sunday. Some roads near my place were flooded thanks to the municipal council (MPAJ) for doing such a "great" job by not cleaning up the drains.
I had the idea of ordering pizza for dinner and grandma agreed to it. I rang up "Pizza Hut" at 8:30PM and made an order for a vegetarian pizza. The girl on the phone told me that they are having a busy time and I'll be getting it in 45 mins. As usual, I'll say "Ok, sure".
At 9:10PM, my pizza is still not here. I thought the pizza is still in the sauna, not coming out yet but moments after, the delivery guy called up saying he's coming over now so I said "Ok, sure". 10 mins later, he called again and this time he told me that his bike ran out of fuel. It's the first time I heard such an excuse or perhaps reason :) He told me his friend is coming over and the pizza will be delivered shortly. As I don't have a choice, I said "Ok, sure".
9:30PM, the beloved "vegetarian" pizza finally arrived all the way from Ampang Point Pizza Hut (I thought it came all the way from USJ or something). As I went to collect it from my gate, the delivery boy opened up and says "pepperoni pizza". I was like "WTF", since when did I order a pepperoni?! A look on the receipt also showed its a pepperoni so it looks like the call centre made a mistake. Again, I don't have a choice and I said "Ok, sure".
I scooped and removed all those slices of beef toppings and handed it over to my maid. She did enjoy the pizza (best dinner since Hari Raya) while grandma and I ended up with tomato and cheese pizza (without toppings) plus cheese sticks. What a dinner and thanks to "Pizza Hut" - you're certainly making things "great" as the slogan says. I guess I have more reasons to call Domino's the next time.
