I said no the first fifty times, too!!!
Let's pretend my pizza place is in "City."
This bright bulb (C for caller) couldn't comprehend NO.
Me: Thank you for calling (pizza place) this is UnholyPet, how may I help you?
C: Well I want (order that's only $20).
Me: Okay, that's (order) for $20?
C: Right. I want it delivered.
Me: Okay, can I have your phone number?
C: Do you deliver to Town?
Town is 45min away from City one way. We'll do it if the order's more than $100, any less and no go.
Me: I'm sorry, but we don't deliver that far. Would you like to come pick it up?
C: Well no.. um. If I go tomy friend's house can you deliver it there?
Me: Yes, (taking that name n number) Will you be there in about 30min?
C: Oh no, I'm gonna be in my car.
Me: I'm sorry, but I have to have a residential or business number/address to deliver. We can't deliver to a car.
C: But I'll be right there!
Me: If you just went inside, we could deliver it.
C: Ugh. What if I go to work?
I can see where this is going. Its just company policy not to deliver to cars, as we keep records for legal documentation. (we had a delivery driver who traficked drugs on runs years ago)
Me: Okay, (taking name n number) and that'll be about 30min.
C: I can't sit in there for 30min!
Me: I'm sorry? Are you going to be at work when we deliver?
C: NO!! I just want to meet you there.
Me: I'm really sorry, but we're not allowed to deliver to a place after you've told me you won't be there.
C: What if I drive halfway, and you meet me?
Me: No, I'm sorry, we need a street and phone number. The only way we could get this to you would be if you ordered $100 or more.
C: What if I make the pizza large?
Me: Its then only $25.
C: Beast sized?
Me: Its now $32.
C: What if I ordered four?
Oh hell no. I'm not falling for that.
Me: Will you be paying with a credit card?
C: No.
Me: Then we couldn't deliver that amount. I'm sorry.
C: What if I meet you halfway?
Repeat, for another eight minutes.
