Most ridiculous thing to call corporate over.

[ChozoGhost79]

Corporate being the corporate offices of "Avoid the Noid" Pizza. This corporate call and subsequent free food AND gift certificate was the result of a customer's cinnamon sticks accidentally getting bleu cheese instead of the normal icing. That's it. To think this guy's a Registered Nurse at the local hospital. I think the franchisee was wise to tell me about this guy AFTER I brought him his free order yesterday night.

Cinnamon with cheese? Is it any good? (Never tried )

[ChozoGhost79]

No clue. Not sure if I'd try it that way. The icing itself is very good though, especially warmed up.

Adding to the stupidity is the bleu cheese and icing are in dipping cups, not actually put on the cinnastix unless by the customer.

I have to admit, I would be kinda ticked if that happened to me, but I wouldn't call corporate, that's just stupid. Am I correct in thinking that calling the store would be the correct thing to do here?

[Jester]

Did he overreact? Sure.

But is this really the most ridiculous thing to call corporate over?

Um, have you SEEN some of the idiocy that people in here deal with?

[drunkenwildmage]

They over reacted, but that's not the most ridiculous thing to call corporate about.

When I worked Pizza, I had someone call corporate because I hadn't put on my hat yet. Only about 15 minutes after opening.

[Sparky]

Wait, was this something brought to his table, or delivered to his home? Because if I'd been expecting icing goodness and had gotten bleu cheese instead, I'd have complained also.

Complained politely, and probably complained to the store, not to corporate, but I would have said something to somebody because if you don't complain how can the store know they're making mistakes?

On the other hand, if he mixed up the two himself, well

I would love to have said, "If you're upset over something as simple as this, you really shouldn't be out in public at all or ever. You're going to be disappointed the rest of your life".

Then I'd underhand throw an object to the side of them and say, "oh wow! This, like the world, doesn't revolve around you either!"

[Becks]

I would've complained...but to the store, not corporate.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Well, why not? His cinnamon stick eating experience was ruined.

[tropicsgoddess]

All that for the wrong cinnamon stick sauce?!!

[Tama]

This is why I tend to keep yummy stuff around to put on cinnamon bagels/whatnot...

So if something like this happens I can make my own gooey cream cheese/other icing goodness to put on bagels/cinnasticks/whatever.

[MyNameIsn'tSweetie]

I think I can top this one: our ex-manager had a customer threaten *multiple times* to call corporate because I was "Too polite" to him.

[Jester]

Well, why not? His cinnamon stick eating experience was ruined.

All that for the wrong cinnamon stick sauce?!!

Well, to be fair, I love cinnamon. And I love bleu cheese. And they just flat out don't go together. So I could understand him not being happy. That being said, that is no reason to call corporate...unless, of course, he called the store and nothing was done. Then I could totally see it.

I would have been annoyed to receive the wrong kind of sauce for my cinnamon sticks, but I also realize mistakes can happen. I would have first called the local store to tell them what happened, and ask them to correct their mistake.

I would only resort to calling corporate if they refused to correct their mistake.
