    I didn’t choose the toppings, but these were pretty good pies.



    I've seen (and endorse) 'extra cheese', but I've never seen anyone order 'extra black olives' or 'extra green peppers'.

    So... I guess I'm saying, "You're weird."

    (pizzas don't look too bad to be honest)
    Mmm, all those extra black olives look good! Usually there aren't nearly enough for me.
    The only problematic "extra" I've ever had is with jalapenos. I like spicy, and usually my pizza place just doesn't put enough hot peppers - I was getting maybe two or three per slice. So I assumed asking for "double jalapenos" would make it about 5 or 6 peppers per slice. Well I guess the bastards at the pizza place decided to have a little laugh at my expense, because there were probably 40 sliced jalapenos on every single slice. :lol: The juices from them saturated the entire pizza, rendering the entire thing completely inedible, even after I picked most of the peppers off of it. It pissed me off!


    My reflux acted up just reading that lol
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I can totally picture it- including the disappointment when you determined that the pie was inedible.

    You wait 45 minutes for the pizza. You begin salivating the moment it arrived. You paid. You sat down. Aaaand... yah... disappointment.

    You begin peering into the fridge and the cupboards, but whatever you choose to take the place of the pizza you were anticipating... it's far from adequate.

    Just a freaking piss off.

    Totally, and I didn't feel like I could call them and complain and get a new pizza because 1) I DID ask for extra jalapenos, and that's exactly what they gave me, lol, and 2) I don't like spit or snot pizzas. You never know.

    When I worked at McD's in college, we'd have people order "extra extra" toppings on some sandwiches.  That usaully constituted us taking the crown of the bun, punching the inside until it made a small bread bowl and filling it with whatever topping they asked for.  Most of the time this was onions, sometimes tartar on a fish sandwich.  They said "extra extra,"  they got extra extra.

    That story ended so much better than I thought it was going to end.


    Thank you.

    Haha, yeah I never fucked with anyone's food in any gross type of way.  I mean, they're already eating McDonald's, that's enough suffering as is. :lol: That and I swore an oath to food safety, and it's just the right thing to do.

    An asswipe (perhaps the biggest asswipe) in high school worked at the pizza joint right by the school.  Everyone knew not to eat from there when he was working.
    He bragged about doing a 'rake*' on a pizza that a guy he hated ordered.  What a total jackass.

    *rake - to put one's hands down one's pants and to rake across your hairy parts, and then to sprinkle what came loose onto the pizza prior to putting it in the over.
    Don't order pizza when Calvin is working, he gave Tommy a rake pizza one time.

    I caught a kid spitting on one the grills one time.  I was like, "What. The. Fuck. Did you just do?"  Kinda like you'd say to your dog when he shits in the middle of the floor.  That dumb fucker spent the next 2+ hours deep cleaning every surface of that grill, every movable part, removable part, and the entire surrounding area including the vents, vent hood, floor, & walls.  Made him scrub the wheels with a fucking toothbrush, too. I told him he wasn't done until that fucker looked like the picture in the equipment catalog. Then I sent his dumb ass home.  He hated me for a while but he never did it again.
    On a side note, I really don't think the kid was all that bright.  He put a tray of apple pies in the oven once and stood there for 10 minutes watching them bake. "What the fuck are you doing, Eric?"  I'm baking pies. "The oven is baking the pies you simple fuck. You're just staring. Do some work."

    Bad.
    I remember reading a story way back about two jackasses at a burger chain (BK, maybe?) who kept a few burgers on top of the freezer for people who were rude to them going through the drive through.  Made me want to barf.  I swore off fast food chains in 2003 and have not eaten at a McD, BK, Wendy chain type of place since.  [I have a weird set of rules for what I will and will not consider ff -- drive through is an automatic.]  Only time I broke my rule was with a potential client, at their chain.  (Not burgers)

    I LOVE stories about workers that aren't very good workers, lol!!!

    I used to work at a deli and I would never, ever even think of doing something to someones food.

    That is so unethical it's ridiculous!!!

    Katherine Harris used to frequent the café attached to the bookshop that I managed. Oh, the things that found their way into her café breves. Yet every day, she came back for more. And this was before the 2000 election.

    And I know quite a few bartenders who always kept some Visine handy for douchelords.

    I know it does happen, so I am still wary, but I worked at six or seven different restaurants and bars back in the day and I never once worked with a cook who I suspect would have fucked with the food in a gross way. That's just so messed up, and I trust that the majority of kitchen staff are at least better than that. I think a person who would do such a thing has serious personality or psychological issues.
