We Take Away Your Freedom- Pizza by Pizza

[Lady Wrath]

Currently, we're having a sort of special at the restaraunt, where you if you buy one large pizza and you present us with a coupon, you get one small cheese pizza for free. It clearly states on the coupon it is only good for a SMALL CHEESE pizza.

AG= Annoying Guy
TG= The Girlfriend of Annoying Guy
M: me


AG is there with what appears to be his girlfriend and another couple.

AG[when I go to check on them] : Can you give us a Meat Lover's?

M: What size would you like sir?

AG: A small. I have a coupon here. For a free one.[proceeds to take out the coupon]

M: I'm sorry, this is only good for a small cheese pizza. If you'd like, I could get you on of those, for free.

AG: [is ignoring the word free]: No, we want the Meat Lover's. Why is that such a problem? It's a small pizza and we ordered the large pizza!

M: Once again, I'm sorry, but you'd have to pay full price for the Meat Lover's. The only offer we have is with a small cheese pizza. [trying to defuse the topic, since I rather not like exploding at customers] Is there anything else you might need?
Refills?

AG:No, we just want the pizza and I don't see what the problem is? Are you such lazy asses that you can't just sprinkle some meat on the pizza? Do you expect us to pay you full price, plus even more money just for some meat? I think that's ridiculous! If I would have known that I wouldn't have come here in the first place!

TG: [Looks up annoyed while hanging onto her boyfriend's arm] :Why can't you jsut get us that pizza? You don't have to be so impossible about it? Why not just get us the damn pizza?

M: I didn't make that coupon, and I don't make the rules around here. If you'd be happier somewhere else, please go there. This is a family restaurant and there's no need to be yelling curse words.

Ag: Just go fuck yourself. Your food and service is disgusting. I'll make sure to report you. What's your name?

M: My name is Cassie. Feel free to talk to the manager.

And that's where I exited. No surprise, they didn't leave a tip..

Once again, this will never stop until businesses finally start throwing people out for this kind of behavior. This customer and his hag should have been tossed immediately and told they were stupid for not being able to READ! It says CHEESE pizza. Why is it so fucking hard to read?!

[gunsage]

Are you such lazy asses that you can't just sprinkle some meat on the pizza?

Wait...you want me to turn a cheese pizza, a very cheaply made pizza with virtually nothing on it, into a meat lovers, which requires we use toppings that customers actually WANT and normally PAY for (thus a standard price difference), but you shouldn't have to pay for it, even though it's not on the coupon. Oh I know...how about I go to a steak restaurant with a coupon for a hamburger and complain until I get a free porterhouse?!

Lovely. Though, if I could get away with it, I would DEFINITELY try that. Me likies the steakage.

[karma_gypsy]

Rigggght and if you did it for him, you would have to do it for this customer and that customer. . .

He should be happy that there is even a free coupon available for his use. Why just last night, we paid full price for three large two topping pizzas, no freebies, no special price. But man, the pizza was WORTH it!!!

[BookstoreEscapee]

Why would someone want all that meat on their pizza, anyway? Pizza should be cheese, and sauce, and more cheese.
And maybe a little cheese

Actually I like a regular cheese pizza with ricotta dotted on top of it. There's a couple places near me that make a really good one

Uh, what pizza place offers free toppings? I've never heard of one. I'd be there all the time. Meat costs a company money to buy. In order to make this money back, plus more (because that's what a business does), they CHARGE for it. What a dumbass.

That sounds pretty good actually. It kinda reminds me second favorite pizza: Cici's spinach and white sauce pizza. Normally, I'm not real big into veggies, but I love this stuff. My #1 isn't around anymore...Pizza Hut's italian sausage pizza . If I remember correctly, they had HUGE, NICE QUALITY italian sausage pieces on a rectangular pizza...I can't even remember exactly what it was called.

Another favorite was triple layered cheeze pizza. And yeah, I still like stuffed crust...glad at least that's still around.

Actually... Pizza Papa Johns offers FREE toppings, at least in the Washington DC market, at participating stores, during football season!

How it works is simple: Whenever the Washington Redskins have a game, the very next day after the game, all day long, you get FREE toppings equal to the number of touchdowns scored by the Skins! So, if the Skins scored 3 touchdowns during the game, you get 3 FREE toppings on your pizza (when purchased at the regular price for a cheese pizza, natch!) And if the Skins actually WON, you get DOUBLE the toppings FREE! So that would be 6 FREE toppings if they won the game they scored 3 touchdowns in!!!

Obviously, there are catches. Namely the fact that this deal is good "AT PARTICIPATING STORES ONLY", which means, naturally, that your local franchisee reserves the right to refuse to participate in that promotion. And I have NO idea if that promotion is offered in any other markets. Can Baltimore Ravens fans take advantage of that deal? Or Dallas Cowboys fans? I have NO IDEA. You'd have to ask at your local Papa Johns.

Love the color coordination, btw

Yeah, it's yummy

I've never seen it advertised around here (I'm in Chicago Bears territory, myself) but Papa John's does offer all kinds of crazy deals.

I know some places will let you get the free cheese pizza, then pay the difference between that and a Meat Lover's to cover the cost of the toppings, but that's one of those "Yay!" if it happens moments, and oh well if it doesn't. But maybe that's because I'm sane.

[BrassCowboy]

Or Dallas Cowboys fans?

The closest I've seen to that in Dallas, is free coffee at certain gas stations (maybe QT? Don't hold me to that.) and I think a discounted pizza at Papa Johns if the Dallas Desperados (Arena Football League) win a game.

Cut the sauce, use Alfredo sauce. Much nicer, much cheesier.

I've no idea on the Papa John's thing, but when I worked at the Arches, we had a series of promotions going where, any day the Cardinals (the home town baseball team) played, Big Macs (Thanks a ton, Mr. McGuire) were a dollar each (limit 2 per customer.)
Big Macs would be stacked twenty deep just after lunch started, in our staging area, and by an hour after lunch started, we'd be out.

[MrDelirious]

On a tangent, you know the offer that the phone jockey has to read you when you call? The one that usually has nothing to do with what you actually want to eat? I flip out when it's what I want.

"Hi, thank you for calling Slappy McJackass Pizza, are you interested in our two large two topping pizzas for $0.17 (arbitrary n'umber, obviously)?
"N-...actually, yes. Yes I do.

[Nekojin]

Mmm, pizza.

We can't get pizza delivered by Papa John's or Pizza Hut (which is really a shame, because we LOVE Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza). Something about a delivery driver being shot and killed here in our apartment complex a few years back...

Domino's (bleh) will deliver, but they make us meet them at the curb. Fortunately, we just found a great Chinese place nearby that has no problem delivering to our door. Really good food, and at a decent price.

Oh.. and pizza toppings of choice? Chicken & mushroom. Super-tasty.

SC's only see the word free, nothing else.
