Good afternoon, Dominique's Pizza! Zoe speaking!
Hi Zoe. Can I order some pizza for delivery, please?
Yessir, but delivery is taking an hour and ten right now.
Thanks for the head's up, that's fine. Let's order.
Righto. What can I get you?
Oh, I'd like a medium Meaty Monster please.
With extra sauce and olives, hold the onions?Hey, good guess!
Not at all, I remembered when I saw your address pop up.
Well, that's damned efficient of you!
Isn't technology grand? Can I get you anything else?
Yep, I need a bottle of Diet Croak too, please.
Done. Hey, we've not seen you in a while, have we?
That's right, I've been celebrating Lent.
Really? We're your favourite treat? That's cool.
You got me. Seven weeks, it's been tough.
Congratulations! And yes, your last order was February.
I tell you, it feels like longer. What do I owe you?
Well, fifteen for the pizza...
Okay.
...but the Croak and some garlic bread is on the house.
That's bloody decent of you, Zoe. Thanks very much.
Our pleasure. And I'll get it to you as soon as it's done.
I don't know what to say. Again, thank you.
Not at all, Sir. Welcome back, Mr. Roth.
It's nice to be remembered, and worth double to be missed.
They got it here in twenty.

ReplyDeleteHey Eolist! Pretty damned awesome, thank you! But hey, back to normal today. Yay. Indigo x
DeleteI hate you.
ReplyDeleteHey Lass! Ah, yes. This is about food again, isn't it? Hey, I did seven weeks with NO goodies, and no cheating; I deserve a day off. And I'm back on the moderation-and-salad wagon today, with maybe another six months to go? Arse, etc. Indigo
DeleteAhh. A day in which no comfort food would be lonely, I suspect, as scads of the faithful return to their ways.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the dark side, Indigo. Mwa ha ha ha haaaaa.

Hey Pearl! I returned, but only for a single day. Now, I am firmly back on the wagon. Apart from that interesting looking choccy over there... NOOO! And I live on the dark side already. But I brought some illumination. Indigo x
DeleteReally nice when they remember you and take care of you. This is why I always eat at the same places; they know what I want, how I want it, and that's just awesome.
ReplyDeleteHey Joshua! To be fair, I never gave them much opportunity to forget me; I was a shameless three-pizza-a-week fella. Cost a bloody fortune, and added *cough* pounds onto me. I'm slowly losing that again. Indigo
DeleteYou made it all throught Lent? Good job! And sounds like great customere service which is SO rare these days.
ReplyDeleteHey Chrissy! Lovely to see you here =) And yes, all the way through, with none of the traditional Sundays off; I'm stubborn when it suits me. Indigo x
DeleteWow, you really are food-obsessed these days. But I must say, that looks like a mighty fine pizza. I live way out of any pizza-delivery zone and it's probably a good thing. You know, ass size and all... ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Jayne, I know, it's sad. But hey, the pounds are dropping off; apparently binge-eating in daydreams is not as bad as actually doing it. And no pizza delivery? I'll bring one when I drop by ;> Indigo x
DeleteMan, that'd have made me fart and reach for the gaviscon.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, I wondered what the smell was. Potent! Kudos.
DeleteShe probably also remembered that you are handsome... :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kato! Well bless you, but I always answer the door in my ginger wig/beard and a cocktail dress. It's possible she may have remembered me as polite, of course, which is a rare beast these days. Except in Canada. Indigo x
DeleteSomehow I missed this post, but I'm impressed by the customer service! We ordered pizza recently and waited more than two hours. We called twice to check; both times they lied and said it was on its way. Grrrr.
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy! Fibbing is never good customer service, no matter how white the lie. Mind you, this sounded like a pair of good old fashion untruths. Indigo x
