Last Thursday night, at approximately 11:47pm, Melissa and I tried to order pizza from my house. The transaction proceeded thusly…
Melissa: Look, the number is right here on the refrigerator, just call Pizza Hut.
Me: Okay. (dialing…)
Pizza Hut Man: ThankyouforcallingWinterSpringsPizzaHutsorrywe'reclosed. (click)
Me: … I think they're closed.
Melissa: (leafing through the phone book.) Okay here's the number for Dominos.
Me: Okay. (dialing…)
Dominos Man: ThankyouforcallingWinterSpringsDominossorrywe'reclosed. (click)
Me: … I think they're closed, too.
Melissa: I bet all the mom and pop places are closed then, too.
Me: Let me try directory assistance. I just don't know what's around here. (dialing…)
Directory Assistance Lady: City and State Please?
Me: Winter Springs, Florida.
Directory Assistance Lady: What listing?
Me: Yeah, I want any pizza place that is open.
Directory Assistance Lady: …
Me: Hello?
Directory Assistance Lady: Ma'am, I can give you the phone number of pizza places in Winter Springs, but it doesn't show their hours.
Me: Okay. Well, just read me whatcha got.
Directory Assistance Lady: Pizza Hut…
Me: No.
Directory Assistance Lady: Dominos…
Me: No.
Directory Assistance Lady: Oh! Here's one that lists 24-hour service under "pizza." Would you like this one?
Me: Yes!
Directory Assistance Lady: Thanks for calling 411… (ringing…)
Some Man: Thank you for calling Consumer Services, this is Bill speaking, how may I help you?
Me: Yes, do you deliver?
Some Man: Um… this is not a pizza delivery service.
Me: You were listed as 24-hour service, under "pizza."
Some Man: Yes.
Me: But you're not a 24-hour pizza service.
Some Man: No.
Me: …
Some Man: Yeah, we're a customer service line dedicated to making sure you're happy with your pizza delivery service.
Me: But I can't order pizza from you.
Some Man: No.
Me: Oh. (long pause...) Well… Then I'm not happy with my pizza delivery service. (click…)
